About_Me

	Unlike most PT's I've know, I have NEVER been interested in sport. My inspiration comes from helping people to better themselves rather than the desire kick or thow a ball around a pitch for an hour and a half. If you'd like to know what's inspired me over the years, click on the picture below and take alook at my 'Wonderwall' page. It may take a few seconds to load, so please be patient.

	Hi, I’m Andy. Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. Seeing as you’ve got this far, I think it’s only polite that I tell you a little about myself. I’m 48 years old and I'm based in Warrington in the North West. I’m the father of three outstanding young adults who are a constant source of pride and inspiration to me. I spent more years than I care to remember working at various levels of management until I had something of an epiphany when I hit 40; I decided that I would spend the second half of my life doing something that I loved rather than being locked into the 9 to 5 doing something I had to do. I had been involved in health & fitness on an amateur level for more than 25 years and I’d always had a latent desire to work professionally within the industry. So, when opportunity came knocking, I threw caution to the wind and spent 18 months earning my qualifications, then I got to work. After spending an extremely enjoyable and enlightening 18 months with 'Fitness First' as a fitness instructor, I decided to break away and become a full-time, self-employed Personal Trainer. It was the best move that I’ve ever made. I love being my own boss. I love working with people. I love helping people to reach their goals. I even get paid for it too…….it just doesn’t get any better than that…;-)



	I am fully qualified and insured to Advanced Level 3 in both Personal Training and Swedish Massage. All 'Level 3' qualifications are not the same. Many PT's who claim to be Level 3 qualified have only completed a home correspondance course via one of several private providers. These courses are vastly inferior to a full 'CYQ Level 3' qualification. They have very little practical instruction and, as long as the workbooks are completed and their fee is paid, the qualification is pretty well guaranteed, regardless of the quality of work.
