Coral Health & Fitness Club
• While at Coral, I provided practical education for a number of students in a nationally recognised training programme to qualify them
as fitness instructors. This was over a 3-year period.
• Alongside this, I also worked in conjunction with local secondary schools to provide hands-on work experience for 14 – 16 year olds.

that I can contribute to rectifying this problem through sympathetic education and motivation.
