Kesh works for Active IQ, and is the Programme Manager for delivery of the highly-acclaimed National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) courses within the UK and Europe – a role that allows him to use a wealth of teaching and training experience to further shape the industry, and the health of the nation.
"I am extremely excited to be working alongside NASM® in delivering their educational curriculum to fitness industry providers within the UK and EU," said Kesh. "The way the NASM® courses are packaged ensure that knowledge and skill is built from the ground up, with strong roots in anatomy, biomechanics and assessment; and underlying this education is an unequivocal emphasis on understanding the thought processes, concepts and scientific rationale behind the OPT™ approach.
"Having been involved in the industry for nearly 20 years as a trainer and educator, I believe that the NASM® Optimum Performance Training (OPT™) model represents the most systematic approach to fitness training in existence - an approach that is flexible enough to benefit almost anyone on the planet, and one that has the resilience to take on any training modality."
