Lachlan Charles MacKinnon says: “I can’t believe I have qualified and passed the MS Fitness course! Being a personal trainer, and also suffering with MS, this qualification means a lot to me and I hope to help many people with MS like me achieve better fitness. The work book and knowledge that you are given to learn and read through is second to none. I have actually started to use some of the training methods with a client who has MS. Even though I suffer with the illness, some of the knowledge I now have, through taking this course, I didn’t think of or realize. Any trainers who have clients who suffer with MS or trainers thinking of going into this area then this is a course and qualification they need to have. Can’t wait to start making a difference in the MS community here in the UK the same as the MS Fitness Challenge trainers are doing in America.”
