Welcome to TalkExercise

Firstly welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit TalkExercise.

My name is Mark Westbrook; I have 11 years experience in the fitness industry working in a variety of exclusive health spas at various levels, including supervisory and management. My Personal Training history includes training both physical and mentally challenged clients, doctors, producers/directors, celebrities, elderly and sportsmen and woman. My Health and Fitness qualifications/certifications include: Premier Fitness Diploma, Alan Herdman Pilates, Speedo Aqua Fitness, Boxercise, circuit training, NSCR indoor studio cycling and exercise to music. I am also registered as a pool plant professional through the ISRM ( RoPPP’s). 

Health and Fitness is such vast area of interest that I am sure you will agree with me when I say that many subjects can cover a variety of topics. For example a fitness consultation may include discussions including diets past and present, exercise history, posture or injuries, allergies, intolerances, age, supplements or medications (just to name a few!). For each of the many subjects under the umbrella of health and fitness you will find conflicting advice on what is best and why. This is usually because the industry is flooded with new trends and themes to spark interest and make money, and this can make it hard to see the wood for the trees in some cases. Take a look at the products for sale at your local gym and ask yourself does this help me or just cost me?

What I aim to do is help provide advice on health and fitness, so you can take the approach that is right for you. No sparkly new trends or money making nonsense products ... Now let's, TalkExercise!

Healthy Regards

Mark Westbrook
