Senior Coaches
Senior Coaches Jen, Malcolm and Chris undergoing training in Perth, Australia, Nov 2011
Genesis Senior Coaches are probably the best educated fitness professionals in Singapore. They have at least 6 years of training experience, a minimum of 18 months of coaching at Genesis, as well as a certification of at least Level 2 of the Poliquin International Certification Program (PICP), what many consider to be the most demanding and educational personal training certification in the world. Completion requires multiple examinations and a five day practical training program in either Australia, Europe, or the USA.
They are able to help with almost all of the problems clients face regarding training, nutrition and health – using science, and results based solutions.
