When completing a qual just makes sense! And with some of the best in Cumbria around me I probably should’ve done it sooner 🫠😂

Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy…completed it ✅

But there was a bigger reason for doing this…I want to be more available to our SMT learners and graduates. To better support them, empathise with them, and hopefully become a better educator because of it 🤲🏼

It also means I’ll be spending a few hours each week working hands-on in the clinic, building my experience and putting my new skills into practice. But before anyone thinks I’m disappearing from the Academy…absolutely not! If anything you’ll all see more of me than ever 😂

And if you do plan on coming to us after completing the Cumbrian Run…I’ll be the flustered one asking you a million times if the pressures ok 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Stop thinking about the thing...Start doing the thing 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Our Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy course dates for 2026 & 2027 are here 👆🏼

This is a face-to-face course and the dates above are the weekends you will be with us in clinic covering a mixture of theory and practical 🤲🏼

If you’re already a gym instructor, PT, studying physiotherapy or sports rehabilitation, this is a particularly useful string to add to your bow 🏹
Improve your understanding of soft tissue, get more confident assessing what you’re feeling, and add a skill that can really complement the way you already work with clients, patients and athletes.

If the thing holding you back is feeling nervous or a little out of your comfort zone… don’t wait for that feeling to disappear. Harness it. Turn the nerves into excitement and come and learn alongside other like-minded people!

DM us for more information 📩

Congratulations to our latest myofascial dry needling graduates 🪡👏🏼

A brilliant group who really embraced the learning, challenged their thinking and finished the weekend demonstrating their competency by successfully completing their theory and practical assessments…walking away with another skill to add to their clinical toolbox 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

We hope you enjoy integrating this modality into your practice!

Honoured to have been invited along to ARK KONDITIONING KLUB tonight…and proud to know we’ve played even a small part in Jamie’s journey to creating this place. A space where proper expert coaching and a genuine family feel sit side by side. And the fact the boys felt at home enough to get stuck straight in says it all 🌪️😂
So excited to see what’s to come. You’ve all created something really special and should be immensely proud 🤲🏼

When you’re ready to turn that niggle, idea, dream, into a reality…we’ll be here ready for you 🤲🏼

Weekend 4 of 6 for our L3 Personal Training learners 💪🏼
From delivering their business presentations to getting stuck into the practical application of Unit 3: Understanding lifestyle, health, wellbeing and common medical conditions…last weekend was all about developing PTs who can think, adapt and coach the person in front of them 🤲🏼

Learners covered:  🏋🏼 Adapting programmes for clients with low-risk medical conditions 👀 Movement screening…looking at how someone actually moves and using what they see to cue  📈 Knowing when, why and how to regress or progress exercise

Good programming isn’t just about having a bank of exercises. It’s knowing which ones are right for the person standing in front of you. And it’s this knowledge that will set the group up well as they move into the final two weekends covering client consultations and programme design and delivery 💪🏼

There’s a reason we don’t just stand at the front and talk at you…👀

Research analysing 225 studies found that learners involved in active learning achieved around 6% higher assessment scores than students taught predominantly through traditional lectures. In fact, learners taught using only lectures were 1.5× more likely to fail (Freeman, et al. 2014) 😱

Learning works better when you’re part of it…And that’s exactly the principle behind the hands-on, practical learning environment you’re seeing in this reel 🫶🏼

🚨Qualification UPDATE 🚨

The Gym Instructor is out…the Fitness Coach is in. But this is more than a change of name. Fitness has evolved, the role has evolved, and now the qualification reflects this 👏🏼

Watch to see exactly what’s changed…bonus points if you correctly identify how many times I say ‘coaching’ or ‘emphasis’ 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️

Get in touch if you would like to start your journey in the fitness industry 🚀

After Mackyard…we’re doing it again 👀

Next up…The Cumbrian Run!

📍Sheepmount Athletics Stadium, Carlisle
🗓️Sunday 4th October

We’re putting together another DAHM Event Team to support runners as they cross the finish line, and we’re looking for Sports Massage learners and graduates who want to get involved.

If the last few years supporting sporting events has taught us one thing, it’s just how valuable these opportunities are for not only building confidence and developing your hands-on skills, but also your communication skills, decision making skills, etc…the list goes on!

Want in? Drop us a message 🫶🏼
