Trained at WABBA Training Centre - the Ryan Centre in Stranraer James said' Morning Mike, I’m writing to thank you and your staff for the excellent service and sport specific training you have provided me with over the past few years. As you are well aware the need for the correct training specific to my sport (Professional golf) is vital. As a member of profile plus I have benefited hugely from the personal "touch" your staff and you provide. Having attended many other of the regions gyms regularly in particular DG1 the service you offer and expert advice "blows the other gyms out of the water". The knowledge that Thomas, Martin, Christine 1 and 2 and you have is far superior to many other council staff that I have experienced. I recently won the Grand Slam of Golf in Abu Dhabi in soaring heat and I have put the majority of this down to the fitness programme you designed for me prior to competing. I was fitter than every other competitor hence why I won. This was my first victory in 5 years 4 of which I have spent working closely with you and Thomas to enhance my chances of future wins. Hard work and PAIN does pay off! I also must commend you on the recent programme you have designed for the Wigtownshire Junior Golf Squad the Scottish Golf Union told me that it was the best Strength and Conditioning Programme they had seen throughout the whole country and the boys are loving it. I look forward to my winter programme and hopefully future wins.Tue, 15 Nov 2011 09:57:21 UTChttp://www.wabba.co.uk/news_details.php?nid=204http://www.wabba.co.uk/news_details.php?nid=201Torquay based Fitness Professional Jane Edney, has joined the Lifestyles Fitness Team headed by WABBA Graduate Colin Pemberton at the Riviera International Conference Centre in Torquay.Jane recently attended the WABBA Personal Trainer Programme to gain the Internationally recognised Diploma in Personal Training and has landed her new position within a month of attending the course!WABBA wish her well in her new career.Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:30:38 UTChttp://www.wabba.co.uk/news_details.php?nid=201http://www.wabba.co.uk/news_details.php?nid=200Dave Mercer, a Liverpool based PE Teaching Professional has joined the WABBA Personal Trainer Programme to gain the Internationally recognised Diploma in Personal Training.Here's what Dave said in his recent kind Testimonial:Morning Alan,I know I said this yesterday but just wanted to say thanks again for two inspirational weeks.
