Alan Gordon MSc. BSc.(Hons 1st) is a Biomechanist who's training alone has taken 11 years. A Biomechanist ( of which there are only 18 in the entire UK) is far more advanced than any personal trainer, with personal training being only one of the services that a Biomechanist provides. To date since March 2002, Alan has been retained to assess 2,648 personal trainers and he has GPs, Physios, Osteopaths, Pilates teachers and personal trainers on his exercise client list. His career spans 46 years, and he covers Oxford and parts of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, working in client homes. Author of the book 'Get Fit Flexibility', ( see Amazon.com) recommended in 'Harpers Bazaar' and 'Good Health' magazines, he's been consulted by BBC2, BBC Radio, Channel4 and Discovery 1 television and also interviewed by the Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and Sunday Telegraph. Clients range from 16 to 87 years old, He is an accomplished expert with both genders of all ages and abilities, but his specialist fields are: Over 50s exercise/injury/nutrition, weight loss/management and ladies exercise/injury/nutrition. Visit his website, by clicking www.alangordon-health.co.uk The one and only reason the term personal trainer is used on Alan's website at all, is because the sheer rarity of Biomechanists make them totally unknown to most people. A Biomechanist's expertise, is sweeping light years beyond the capabilities of any personal trainer. His 46 years of experience is longer than the actual lives of most personal trainers, so the safety assurances and levels of knowledge those years have endowed, is an exceptional professional plus. Being personally recommended by Professor Sallie Lamb, Oxford University's Kadoorie Professor of Trauma Rehabilitation makes a clear statement as to how safe and reliable Alan's capabilities are, so do look at his website's testimonials.
