Michael Smith

I am currently registered on The Register of Exercise Professionals as a level 3 advanced gym instructor, which makes me fully qualified as a personal trainer in the UK. I have a keen interest in Sport and Fitness, after taking part in a number of different sports at a variety of levels during my lifetime. This interest has led me to want to further my knowledge and the knowledge of other people through making a career of my passion for sport and exercise. I have the YMCA level 2 Gym instructor’s award, and this teamed up with my Degree for the University of Hull in Sports Rehabilitation I have achieved a high level on the Register of Exercise Professionals.

While studying at The University of Hull I was asked to undertake different work placements within a variety of different settings. These work placements have provided me with the knowledge and expertise to assess a variety of different injuries and also to recommend specific exercises that would prevent injury occurring and also heal an injury that has already been sustained. The work placements a carried out were undertaken at; Hull city AFC, Scunthorpe United FC, Grays Athletic FC, and HM Hull Prison. The work I was asked to complete at Hull Prison was mainly gym based and required me to design and implement training programmes for both inmates and staff in order for them to achieve their specific training and fitness goals.

The work placements above stand me in good stead to be able to achieve and overcome any fitness challenges that are put in front of me, whether your aim is to run a marathon, or to overcome the pain and discomfort in your joints to be able to walk or swim with friends without it causing you pain. If you wanted to train from the comforts of your own home, or from the superb facilities of a gym I am able to accommodate you.
