Sam Hodgson

Sam is an Exercise and Health graduate from Oxford Brookes University, who competed at an international level for their rowing squad. Most recently, he completed the CHEK Exercise Coach award, which involves looking at the body and assessing it as a whole, to address any imbalances or problems an individual may have.

Having previously worked in gyms, he feels that a one-to-one approach helps his clients to achieve their goals quicker and with an improved sense of confidence. He specializes in working with athletes to increase performance in their sporting fields, but this approach can be applied to any club member wanting to gain that competitive edge.

Anyone who is looking to shape up and increase their quality of life by using the CHEK method of training will not be disappointed with the results.
