Martin Hickmott: I have regularly trained in gyms, belonged to exercise classes, and generally kept myself fit. However, I wanted to take my interest further, and enrolled with the YMCA to undertake an instructor course in 2002.

Having qualified as an instructor I successfully completed further courses in Circuit Training, Body Conditioning and Fit Ball training, as well as achieving the Body Training Systems International Teaching Certificate in BODY PUMP. I regularly teach a variety of well-attended classes in East Sussex.
