Defence Fit training increases awareness of the risks and dangers of modern day society, in particular to those working, exercising or living alone. Our courses will educate and empower, build confidence and awareness, and encourage each participant to live a life without limits. This unique format see’s the partnership of Chris Burnard, Conflict Management & Self-Defence Specialist and Susie Elli
son, Strength & Conditioning Coach, both from Leicestershire. Chris recently retired from the Police, and has more than 30 years experience in Law Enforcement & Conflict Management at the highest level. Some of his professional skills include Police Firearms Officer, Firearms Instructor, Officer Protection Trainer, and Nationally trained Police Close Protection Officer. Chris also holds a Black Belt in Ju Jitsu and is a Ju Jitsu Instructor. In contrast to the above attributes, Chris has a placid nature with a calm and controlled teaching manner. This combination of expertise and character will ensure participants feel confident and at ease throughout the course. Susie Ellison, a Personal Trainer & Group Exercise Instructor with over 17 years in the fitness industry. Susie is a Performance Enhancement Specialist, working with professional athletes representing their County and Country in both team and solo sports. Susie is also a Corrective Exercise Specialist, working alongside Physiotherapists to assist in the re-ablement programme of people challenged with injury & illness. Her reputation is built on a foundation of energy, enthusiasm and creative programme design. Susie has the vision to take components from a simple movement, develop them, and then transform them into a unique and fun, functional activity. Defence Fit is a course aimed at small groups of 2-10 participants. We have a facility in the centre of Leicester or will travel to a business or leisure location when required. Defence Fit would suit small community based groups right through to large corporate organisations. We see the necessity for Defence Fit within the fitness community or work environment, improving confidence, increasing fitness and in some cases it may be a legal requirement. If you organise or even participate in a sports club or running/walking group, then we can attend and educate members in an enjoyable and familiar environment. Lone commuters and general fitness enthusiasts will also benefit from our exciting course and if you’re a business owner or employee who experiences periods of lone working, then you should follow this link to find out more about H&S Lone Working Policy and how Defence Fit can benefit you
