‘Lee Bell – personal trainer of all personal trainers’

Biography

Early Years

From Sheffield, United kingdom, Lee Bell has been involved within sports one way or another throughout his entire life. From taking part in soccer as a child, to becoming a personal trainer, and in later years, a university lecturer.

Since his early beginnings within the sporting community, Lee has gone onto play an important role in fitness education for more than a decade. Excelling in biomechanics and physiology above all. Before all of this could happened, Lee had to work his way from the ground up. 

At the start of his career as a personal trainer in 2003, Lee’s passion, and experience for working with others began to develop; “After completing my undergraduates degree in sports studies in 2003, I got my first gym instructor job, and subsequently trained to be a personal trainer and exercise referral instructor.” – Lee Bell

After 5 years of helping individual clients from all over the country, Lee’s interest for health and fitness grew, and with it, a desire to offer more in the wider-world of fitness.

“I worked as a personal trainer for around 5 years, and whilst I loved every minute of it, I quickly realized that I was developing a passion for the more underpinning aspects of exercise – physiology and biomechanics. Of course, this isn’t something your average client is interested in so I decided that education would suit me better and made the decision to purse a more academic rout into teaching.”

Becoming An Academic

Upon proving his abilities as a personal trainer, Lee moved forward to become ‘the personal trainer of personal trainers’. This all started with a desire to teach students as opposed to train clients.

In order for him to do this, Lee had to step back into the classroom to further develop his knowledge. After 3 years of hard work, Lee obtained his BSc (Hons) PGCE, and MSc qualifications. 

Upon receiving these qualifications, Lee’s career ‘took-off’. He’s since worked in higher education, written for ‘high profile’ health & fitness magazines and scientific journals. He’s also advised companies on the best working practices to improve their efficiency and training methods. 

Throughout all of this, Lee Bell has dispelled numerous ‘health‘ myths and ‘fads‘ within the industry – providing ‘real-world scientific advice’ to thousands of readers, and clients.

Elite Performance Training

Apart from promoting and delivering courses throughout universities, Lee also speaks at corporate events, discussing the importance of strength training and sports as a whole. Added to this, he’s also an aggressive and results football coach. Hoping for success with the children s team he coaches. 

He’s given speeches on everything and anything to do with human physiology. From power and performance training, and gait optimization in spinal injuries – proving once more that he’s a passionate individual when it comes to the health and care of individuals. 

Furthermore, Lee has also worked for two global fitness equipment suppliers – delivering Master Trainer Workshops overseas. This work has expanded to advisory boards, where he’s helped to develop training facilities, assisting sports companies who are looking to make their mark within the fitness industry.
