About Me
My name is Barry Hooper, I am a young and enthusiastic 26 year old and this is my company, I currently work part time in the NHS at Tolworth Hospital as an Exercise Therapist and Physiotherapy Assistant assisting mental health patients and encouraging them to partake in exercise to improve their way of life. I want to help as many people as I can feel better about themselves, whether it's losing a few pounds or just to become fitter to compete in a half marathon, I want to help you be the best you can.
My goal is to create a successful business by expanding the VisionFit name, initially outside of the Croydon borough, then working my way into London, around the London boroughs, then nationwide and throughout the UK, and then eventually internationally. Using my outdoor classes, I intend to recruit the best personal trainers who possess bags of enthusiasm, personality and charisma to help the growth and expansion of the VisionFit brand. One thing that is guaranteed - I will work ridiculously hard to ensure VisionFit is a success.
I have successfully worked as a fitness trainer helping many people achieve their goals for over four years. I always love meeting a new client and seeing their potential. I find great reward helping each person turn their life around and awaken them to the idea of a healthier lifestyle, and showing them happiness is achievable.
In regards to my training style and methods, I apply these principles (in order of importance) when teaching my participants:- Safety - checking surface, stopping traffic
- Technique - to reduce injury and isolate muscles fully
- Intensity - to improve your fitness.
My pathway into the health & fitness industry is from playing cricket. Having played as a full time professional cricketer for four years at the famous Marylebone Cricket Club (otherwise known as Lord's Cricket Ground), I found myself using their gym facilities to enhance my skills as a player and improve my strength and fitness to advance my game. Alongside the gym workouts, we would receive excellent coaching, and took part in some testing drills as part of our warm ups. I have taken most of these and incorporated it into my style of training to make VisionFit sessions enjoyable and fun, but effective overall.
I still play cricket, but it is less serious, and more social now. I play in the Shepard Neame Kent Premier League with my club Bickley Park. We had a very successful season in 2008, gaining promotion and going unbeaten throughout the whole season. Personally I had a good season finishing 4th out of the highest wicket takers in the league. In 2005, I claimed the highest wicket taker title in the Premier League. Although I got close this year, 2010 I aim to claim it back.
In regards to my professional development, I am looking into pre and post natal exercise with the intention to start up pre natal classes within the local community. In late 2010, I intend to fly out to Trinidad for a cricket season with the aim to impress top cricket coaches and play for the national team. By 2015, university is on my agenda. I am very keen to study a degree in Physiotherapy. I feel my caring approach to people will suit this educational addition to my background.
By the new year of 2020, I am hoping to be well established within my business and have all these necessary skills and qualifications for me to really take off in this country and for VisionFit to explode all over the UK.
