Richard Albrow has a Chemical Engineering Degree from Loughborough University, England and 14 years experience in the Southern California bicycle retail business, as past general manager of Nytro, B&L and Supergo. A desire to help people train for health and sport prompted a career change after exposure to the training philosophies of the C.H.E.K. Institute through Chris Maund, an old friend and triathlete from his alma mater, who is now one of the top C.H.E.K. Certified practitioners in the world. Back in 1998, Chris wrote a corrective exercise program for Richard which lead to a 16th fastest marathon time in the 1998 Ironman. Since then, Richard was hooked on the C.H.E.K. principles of how exercise should be prescribed, sequenced and performed and has subsequently studied with the C.H.E.K. Institute to achieve Level 2 Practitioner and Golf Biomechanic status.
Richard's philosophy can be summarized as the following: Your body gets stronger not only from the exercise you do but also from the rest you take. Make every training minute count.
