Excited to announce that we will have Megan, owner of , and Linda, owner of , joining us on the final day of the L3 Award in Supporting Pre & Postnatal Clients…and with them they bring a wealth of knowledge and skills that can be applied directly to your practice when working with this client group ✨

As our countdown to April begins, here’s what they both had to say…

🧘🏻‍♀️’I’m Megan, I’m a Level 3 Mat & Reformer Pilates instructor and I run Flöde in Carlisle. The thing I love the most about Pilates it is that it’s low-impact, accessible to anyone, and personally it’s also helped me to become more mindful. I love watching other people experience the Pilates principles, and I’m looking forward to sharing some of these with the learners!’

Megan will be delivering a practical training session on how these principles can be intergrated into your planning and delivery 🌿✨

🏃🏻‍♀️’I’m Linda, a mum of two kids (and two dogs), and wife with a real passion for movement and fitness. I love staying active through hybrid training, walking, and running, and that passion has grown into what I do every day.

I run LR Fitness, a women-focused coaching service dedicated to supporting women at every stage of life, including pre- and postnatal. My approach is centred on making fitness accessible, supportive, and tailored…meeting each woman exactly where she is in her journey, no matter her starting point or experience.‘

Linda is a certified MumSafe Trainer…meaning she really is an expert in this field. She will be joining us as a guest speaker to share her experiences, and support our L3 Pre/ Postnatal learners as they continue to build knowledge within this area🤰🏽🏋🏽‍♀️

It’s opportunities like this…learning from experienced professionals in real-world settings, that go far beyond what an online course can offer. This is what reflects our commitment to raising the standard of training in Cumbria…This is DAHM 🫶🏼

Here’s what they covered:
💼 Business foundations
- Going self-employed
- Creating a business plan
- Marketing strategies & understanding the marketing mix

⚖️ Professional practice & legal responsibilities
- What personal trainers are qualified to do (and not do)
- The importance of working within your scope
- Consequences of not meeting legal requirements

🏋️‍♂️ Practical coaching skills
- Cardiovascular training methods & delivery
- Key coaching points for a range of resistance training exercises
- Introduction to exercise progression & regression

💻 This unit will now continue online over two evening sessions, giving learners the chance to develop confidence using online communication platforms…an essential skill for supporting clients remotely in today’s industry.

Another strong weekend of knowledge development from this group…onwards 👏🏽

A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums we’ve had the privilege of working with 💐

The mums who balanced assignments with school runs, late-night studying after the never ending bedtime routine, and time away from their families so they could build a better future…your sacrifice does not go unnoticed!
We see the effort, the determination, and the strength it takes to show up for both your families and yourselves…and we’re incredibly proud of everything that you have, and continue to achieve 💪🏼

It’s been a busy 7 days at DAHM 👏🏽
Over the past week, our learning space has been filled with focussed and motivated learners, developing their practice across:
✔️Kinesiology Taping training 
✔️L3 Emergency First Aid at Work
✔️Myofascial Dry Cupping training

Watching our learners master new techniques, support one another, and grow in confidence is exactly what the DAHM community is built on…and we love being able to provide opportunities that lead to the elevation of local standards within the health and fitness sector 🤲🏼🚀

A fantastic first weekend with our new L3 PT learners ✨💪🏼
We focussed on Unit 1 Anatomy and Physiology, and took every opportunity to link theory to practice.

An understanding of anatomy and physiology is vital for Personal Trainers because it allows us to:

💪🏼 Understand how and why the body adapts to training
✍🏼 Plan with intent
🛟 Select and adapt exercises safely
🩼 Recognise and respond to dysfunctional movement

…plus many more!

Skeletal, CV, and neuromuscular systems done! Great work All!

SATURDAY 28th February…x2 places left on our L3 in Emergency First Aid at Work ❣️

Don’t underestimate the importance of completing qualifications like this in-person. Online learning simply can’t replicate the confidence, competence, and real-life scenario practice you will gain from this course.

Invest in your skills…protect your clients ⛑️
