“Ever since a severe disc injury to L4/L5, I have not been able to do much exercise nor get fit. Over the past 6 years I have tried several different exercise routines, trainers and gyms. Chas, you have done wonders for me. Thank you. I have no pain at all anymore, and now, at age 48, thanks to your training methods, I can do exercises that I haven’t done since I was a teenager. My friends and family cannot believe the change in me. I’m fit and healthy and my body—from the toes up—is trim, well defined and muscular.”

“After enduring six years of sciatica due to back problems, I had extensive nerve damage and muscle wastage of my left leg and back. Within weeks of commencing rehab with Chas, muscle redevelopment began to appear. Four months later I was performing in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics, dancing and running wearing a 15 kg, 11 ft high costume. A month later, I placed fourth at the National Physical Culture Championships. One year later, I placed first!!”

“Significant lower back pain over a period of 4-5 years, an inability to sleep through the night, and not be able to hold my 1 year old in my arms for more than 2-3 minutes, are all now a non-issue, solely due to Chas’s input, advice, and exercise rehabilitation program.”

“When I started One-on-One on the 21st August 1995, I weighed 115.84 kg and just over 6 months later, I was successfully at 88.5 kg. He made what could be a long and boring, tedious task, fun and something that I thoroughly looked forward to every week. I trained twice a week, every week with Chas. I feel I had One of the Best Personal Trainers in the Business.”

“Two years running I had significant skiing injuries. Chas was able to adjust my training regime to cope with and to assist recovery from these injuries. I recommend him highly to anyone who is seeking training or rehabilitation”

“Chas and I have worked together on a number of difficult cases, in particular spinal rehabilitation. Chas has enabled me to concentrate on the manual therapy and clinical side of their management, while he has set up and monitored their rehabilitative exercise program.”

“Chas has redeveloped my age old habits and encouraged me to believe in myself and reach my personal goals. He has shown me the way to corrective physical therapy through new techniques and understanding of human mechanics. Recently during a year long battle with cancer, Chas was instrumental in assisting with my recovery by keeping me focused and positive. As my C.H.E.K. Practitioner, Chas has continued to keep me focused in helping me achieve my goals.”

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would or could represent my country at a World Championship. With the expertise and proven programs from Chas my results improved consistently and without injury. I can’t recommend his services high enough. Not only do I feel stronger, run, swim and ride faster but my general posture has improved immensely.”

Graham Earl
Australian Rep. World Long Course Championships, 2002 (Triathlon) -
“Working with Chas at Human Engineering has been a revelation. I have never been so aware of my body and what I need to do to improve it. As athletes, we tend to work ourselves hard, but not necessarily smart. Chas introduces the smart bit! I have seen a direct correlation between the work I do with Chas and improvements in all of the Triathlon disciplines. While there’s a long way to go, at least we’ve started. Even for general health and wellbeing, this is the work to get into. It will be the last thing I ever give up.”

Frances Asher
Program Director, Sydney, Australia -
“I’ve been playing representative sport at Regional, State or National level for 38 years in Netball, Water polo, Swimming, Spring Board Diving, Basketball, and Cross Country Running. During those years I have injured just about every joint imaginable – I have ripped the tendons off ankles; had bi-lateral arthroscopies on my knees; hyper-extension injury of my elbow; a disc removed and my vertebrae fused in my neck; dislocated both my shoulders as well as my jaw; and I have calcification in my lower spine. And I still kept playing!!

As with all competitive athletes I kept playing on my injuries and almost crippled myself in the process. Up until 2 years ago my family teased me as to which bit would fall off first. Now, thanks to Chas I can do squats - which means I can put my knickers, stockings and shoes on without having to sit on the bed or get my husband to help. I can bend over and pat the cats, pick up the soap, get pots and pans out of the cupboard, and do the occasional spot of gardening. I can walk up and down steps with alternate steps - not one leg at a time. Now I can run across the street, jump out of the way, walk up and down hills. I have gone from needing knee surgery to an active healthy life and living with chronic neck pain.

Thank you Chas…both my family and me appreciate a life where I don’t moan about pain as much!! I am also playing netball in the same team as my 20 year old daughter – a life long ambition.”
