Adam Reading
Personal Trainer
About me:
From a young age I have always had a love of playing and being involved in many different sports. I have played both golf and football at county level and I am now very much involved in playing rugby, at quite a high standard, for a local team. To date I have played in various positions, on the wing, as a full back and more recently as fly half. I also assist in the training sessions, advising the coaches and team members on correct warm up techniques. My interest in sports has led me on a journey into the fitness industry as a personal trainer, which broadened my understanding of correct training and now gives me the opportunity to improve other people’s fitness, wellbeing and life style.

Experience:
I started working for Harpers in January 2008 after becoming a qualified fitness instructor in December 2007. This year I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the members at Harpers in achieving their specific individual goals. I have started working on a one to one basis with clients and have had a fantastic response from them as they see themselves achieve great results very quickly. I have recently been appointed as the Harpers Health and Fitness manager here at St Crispin’s and my personal goal is to take the gym to new levels, with a fantastic team of fitness professionals, who will offer the very highest standard of training.
Hobbies:
As you may have guessed my upmost hobbies are leading a healthy lifestyle, keeping fit and keeping my body in top shape. I keep my training specific to playing rugby, weight training for strength and plenty of power training for speed. When I am not training hard I enjoy relaxing, whether that is going skiing, having a round of golf, listening to music or having a cheeky pint with the lads.

I began working at Harpers on the 1st September 2008. In this short time as a Fitness Instructor I have taken interest in a variety of clients all whom have different goals and aspirations. These goals range from improving all round fitness and wellbeing, to weight loss for increased self esteem and confidence and mainly the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. I feel that with my help I can help people achieve their goals faster and make them feel better about themselves.

Skiing gives me that little extra, having taken me worldwide, skiing varying types of terrain and varying types of styles at a high standard, its gives me that adrenaline boost, a high physical demand on the body and a high level of skill that I strive for.
