Bernard has a passion for activity and all types of movement.  This can be in the form of dance, sport or fitness.  This zest for being active started when he was little, playing a range of different sports, particularly football, to a high standard.  This embedded a love of leadership and a desire to push himself out of his comfort zone.  This is one of his main influences and comes through in all of the things that he does.

​

From a young age his love of goal keeping guided the way along the path that his life would take.  At the age of 16 he decided to set up his own goal keeping school, which is still going strong.  Many of the young athletes he has worked with have gone on to play at a professional level and he has recently formed a link with the West Bromwich Albion Academy.  He was one of the youngest coaches’ to achieve the UEFA B Licenced Goalkeeper Coaching qualification.

​

Bernard holds a degree in Sports, Physical Education and Coaching Science from The University of Birmingham and a post graduate degree in Secondary Physical Education.

​

Bernard is constantly developing ideas and looking for ways to move forward and extend his capabilities.  This led him to the world of Zumba.  He gained his basic 1 in Zumba Fitness in June 2011.  In 2016 he was selected by Zumba Fitness LLC to join their choreography team.  This is a very select group of only 280 in total.  He now delivers his amazing choreography to instructors worldwide.

​

As well as this Bernard is a fully qualified PE teacher.  He has worked in a number of different educational environments ranging from secondary schools, PRU’s and Special schools.  His current role is in a primary school working as a physical education specialist.  The purpose of this is for him to up-skill the teachers in the delivery of PE, hence improving the basic skills and love for physical education and fitness of all children in the schools he works within.  Staff confidence has also improved because of the help, encouragement and support he provides.

​

Bernard strongly believes that exercise isn’t about losing weight, it’s about losing yourself in the moment and enjoying being active.  By pushing yourself out of your comfort zone you grow and develop as a person both physically and mentally.  He can’t wait to take you on your journey to a fitter, happier more confident you.
