Background

Originally from England, Chas received his bachelor’s degree with honours in sports science and history from West London Institute (College of Brunel University) in 1990 and entered the fitness industry. Over the next 6 years he instructed, trained and coached clients in their health and fitness goals in London, Sydney, and Auckland. It wasn’t until 1996, while working as a Personal Trainer at Les Mills World of Fitness in Auckland, that he attended his first Paul Chek Seminar, changed his approach to exercise and rehabilitation, and entered the C.H.E.K. Certification Program.

Chas sees job satisfaction as being when clients report having achieved movement, aesthetic, sporting success, or postural changes they never thought possible in a pain-free and healthy environment.

Experience

As a C.H.E.K. Practitioner with over 18 years international experience in the exercise rehabilitation, sports and fitness industries, Chas has had the opportunity to consult to many clients and organisations, including Olympic, World, National Champion medallists and record holders.

The training he has received particularly from Paul Chek, founder of the C.H.E.K. Institute in California in the areas of orthopaedic assessment, core stabilisation and functional strength, has allowed his clients to improve their posture and health, rehabilitate chronic back, shoulder, and knee injuries, lose weight, change the shape of their bodies, and improve their sports performance.

On several occasions he has worked with Paul Chek in the promotion and demonstration of corrective and functional exercises and equipment, and is featured in six C.H.E.K. Institute exercise videos/DVDs using Swiss balls, Medicine balls, Free Weights and adjustable cable column systems.

Qualifications

By using what he has learnt to be a success on the sporting fields and tracks of England and Australia, Chas has shown a determined approach to educate him to be the best he can be. He has continued to gain new knowledge and skills required for the unique approach applied at Human Engineering. His qualifications and training includes:
