I am a #Certified Health Coach by the globally recognised ISSA, the International Sports Sciences Association, however my former Asian-based clients would say that I have been a #healthcoach for decades in Asia before the term was even coined.
In the relatively tight-knit Hong Kong investment banking industry, I became known as someone who had developed healthy, #timeefficient and portable exercises and routines, and was more than willing to share these with others who worked in similarly challenging, stressful work environments in which personal, or free time, was … almost non-existent.
As the number of people who were interested in regaining control of their own health grew, I started hosting lunches, dinners and eventually led group exercise sessions in the evenings.
Once a week after work, and every second weekend, I shared my non-stop, multi-set and very time efficient physical activity routines by leading friends, colleagues and clients through 30-45 minute workouts in local parks.
These programs were eventually rolled up into an occasional health and wellness counselling role at a local Hong Kong boxing gym, which hosted some sessions, and regularly supplied basic exercise equipment for participants.
At a number of the banks I worked at, in Hong Kong and later in Singapore, I was invited to share some of my insights and passion with individual teams, and departments.
Dozens of people who worked in the very demanding investment banking industry – especially those who had #youngfamilies – about how to find time to maintain health and fitness levels in such a demanding industry.
Chris’ credibility in the Health and Wellness industry
As humbly stated as possible, the #credibility and respect that I bring with me in the fitness and health arena is considerable.
Over the past 25+ years, I have raised significant (>Cad$250,000) funds for various #charities for underprivileged #children by boxing (for the Children’s Surgical Centre in Cambodia), and participating in global athletic endurance events.
These include more than 50 ultramarathons and the 250km Gobi March.
In Asia, and now Canada, I am a long-serving Ambassador of Make-A-Wish Foundation, for which I raise funds by running 100km minus my age on my birthday each year.
