Martin is an accomplished Personal Trainer with 11 years of expertise, fitness coaching and with his roles as a Scuba Diving Instructor and former Prison Officer, offering a unique approach to health, safety, and adaptive training strategies
His role for the last 11 years as a PT is to assess clients bodily strengths, weaknesses and create customised workout plans. Provide physical, mental guidance and monitor customer progress on a regular basis. Monitor and assure that customers stay safe while training. He has worked with individuals, small and large groups, in both gyms and outside training in England and Tenerife. With 4 years of experience as a scuba diving instructor, dive guide and tour leader this has given him a lot of first-hand experience of individual, large group, dive site and boat risk assessment skills. Always alert to knowing peoples abilities and limitations and being able to think on his feet with having the courage to change plans for the safety of everybody no matter how unpopular it may be. This has also given him many years of experience in communication verbally and non verbally, to understand his students and customers, constantly having to assess risk while underwater.
Also his training to become a prison officer and years working in prisons has taught him how to assess and evaluate individuals on a daily, hourly and sometimes minute to minute basis, teaching how to implement standards and procedures for the health and safety of everyone who is in the environment, whilst having to write daily reports and conducting prisoner interviews. All of Martin's 18 years of experience has given him the ideal platform to take on this position for SMCE

Deep Tissue & Sports Massage Training In Tenerife At Sports & Massage Courses Europe
Elaine is also been delighted to receive professional athletes and sports trainers from Tenerife and also coming in from abroad, for advanced Sports Massage and Bodywork Training, as they are looking to possible career changes, or to add on a massage service to their Fitness or Personal Training business. She is also very welcoming to students from other countries where good massage training just simply does not exist. Or they come to her for re-training because they have not been taught to massage correctly, or they are looking for more specialised advanced massage-bodywork techniques to add to their current knowledge.
