FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Local Fitness Trainer Earns Certification

Charlotte, NC - 12/10/04 - Dave Turpin, certified personal trainer and president of Desk Jockey Fitness, has recently been certified by the Corrective High-performance Exercise & Kinesiology (C.H.E.K.) Institute as an Exercise Coach. To date, he is the only certified Exercise Coach in North Carolina.

The certification process consists of 5 days of intensive "hands-on" training at the CHEK Institute in San Diego, CA. Approximately 45 hours of prerequisite course work must be successfully completed.

According to the CHEK website: "A CHEK Exercise Coach possesses the skills and knowledge to design and implement personalized exercise programs that incorporate traditional exercise with mind-body exercises. A key component that defines a CHEK Exercise Coach is the series of assessments used to identify core and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. The CHEK Exercise Coach Certification will help you to accurately assess even the most complex client and lead you towards designing a scientifically sound program to achieve exceptional results.

CHEK Exercise Coaches stress excellent exercise technique and know that to produce the desired result, exercises must be performed correctly. They understand how energy-balancing exercises reduce total stress on the body and know when to use these types of exercises with different clients."
