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:

I have spent a lot of time in my first 30 years bumping into things that do and don't work all around the world. One thing I have found, is that the CHEK approach is extremely effective in helping people rehabilitate, resolve or prevent re-occurring injury, and raise their level of performance beyond expectations. 

I have worked with people from many backgrounds ranging from house-wives in post-surgical rehab through to professional and junior tennis players, ministers, lawyers, park rangers, motivational gurus, butchers, doctors and a dental nurse who turned into a CHEK Practitioner herself! All these people have found this work to revolutionise the way they live and work, and we've all constantly been surprised by the speed of results.

In combination with my experience in work rehab, corporate health, injury prevention and business consulting I have worked with many young people both in and out of the gym. I specialise in a cross-functional approach to youth athlete conditioning that encourages input from parents, coaches and teachers while maintaining an autonomous and self-directed approach for the athlete.  

Across all clients, I prefer to work in a coaching format of blocks of three hours, rather than an hourly "personal training" model as I have found this approach inspires self-motivation, keeps costs realistic and the client becomes more self-directed, visiting the centre less frequently.

I have a real interest in people's stories and a genuine care for achieving positive health and well-being that I hope resonates through my work.

Esti Dalton
Cert. IV Fitness(PT), C.H.E.K. Ex.Coach (Oct’08)
Exercise Coach
T: 0432 656 779
E: esti@humanengineering.com.au

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Esti completed a National Certificate in Fitness before moving to London, United Kingdom, to work as a Personal Trainer at "The Broadgate Club," widely considered one of London's leading health clubs.

After 2 years and further certifications in Personal Training and Pre and Post Natal from the Holmes Place Academy, Esti relocated to Vancouver, Canada, where she worked with C.H.E.K. Practitioners in a private training facility coaching clients with different health concerns. A move to Sydney earlier this year, has seen her embark on the C.H.E.K. Certification Program and coach clients in the private studio setting of Human Engineering.

Esti’s sporting background is in Netball and Track Athletics (Hurdling), while her interests are surfing, rock climbing and fire spinning.

Career Statement: “My experience so far has taught me that the conventional approach to health, disease, exercise and nutrition does not always satisfy the needs of the client. I am passionate about coaching, using a holistic approach to help people achieve their goals. My medium term goal is to qualify as a C.H.E.K. Level 4 Practitioner with a view to becoming a highly trained Kinesiologist.”
