Neal is a fully qualified and experienced fitness professional working with individuals, groups and teams of all fitness levels and varying goals in Central and South London.

Qualifications
He went to Christ Church University in Canterbury and studied Sports Science when it was still a relatively new degree and covered Anatomy, Physiology, Training Methods, Sport Psychology to name just a few modules. After discovering the depths to which sport, health and fitness can be studied, coupled with a strong interest in playing sport and keeping fit, a career in the fitness industry was inevitable! Every year it is necessary for to update his knowledge with Continuing Professional Development courses. He has picked up several of these over the years.

Memberships and Insurance
Neal is a member of and has a close working relationship with the National Register of Personal Trainers (NRPT). This is often the first port of call for clients looking for a trainer, and the most recognized body of Personal Trainers in this country. You can also find Neal on the Register of Exercise Professional (REPs), which is rapidly becoming the unofficial governing body in what is a largely unregulated industry! Neal has been given a Level 3 trainer status which is currently the highest grade on offer. He is also fully covered by Indemnity Insurance provided by Perkins Slade.

Experience
After working part time in the university gym, his first full time fitness role was at Esporta Plc as gym instructor and personal trainer. It took just a year at Esporta to take the plunge and go self employed, managing to drag away a handful of clients along for the ride. Two years ago he set up 'The Tonic' with a business partner which had the aim of providing clients around London and the South East with quality personal trainers they had had met through networking. The Tonic is still going strong however Neal left in 2004 recently to concentrate fully on his own client base, which is extensive and well established over the last 4 years. He still has influence over other personal trainers and is involved in his and their ongoing education as well as contributing to the national press regularly.

Interests
Rugby is Neal's sport of choice and he has been playing for 14 years through school, university and now a London league club. He has played and has experience of most sports that come to mind but rugby is the favoured punishment! Neal regularly weight trains, runs in 5km and 10km's and as you can expect keeps himself current and up to date on all methods of fitness training.
