BIOGRAPHY
Personal Profile
MY STORY . . .
I was lucky. I grew up as an active kid. I had an innate strength from just a few months old. I mastered bike riding at just a couple of years old, and spent most of my childhood climbing onto things, jumping off from others, running (or riding) wild and generally being good at doing so. Team sports at school were never my thing, but I always had a decent athletic ability that served me well.
With that same luck (and likely my genetic heritage too) I grew up feeling invincible when it came to food, my metabolism and my appearance.
Fast forward a few years and I qualified as a personal trainer. I discovered my niche in this field and before long established myself working in the pre-hab/rehab and movement correction part of fitness. I have sharp eye for movement analysis and am a stickler for accuracy. These traits served me well for helping clients ranging from the wheelchair bound and disabled, to post surgery regular gym-goers, older clients that want to up their game and stay mobile into old age, and also elite level athletes investing everything into preventing injuries. This sector of coaching was and is fulfilling to this day, but as the years passed I realised that my ignorance of nutrition in our overall well-being was not doing anyone any favours. Not my clients and not least myself.
In the meantime another revelation hit me in the face. I had become a sugar addict. The feeling of invincibility was starting to wane. Yes I still had my physique, but my energy was abating, I couldn’t go more than two or three hours without a snack of some kind, and would get hangry when expected to delay eating. I had to plan my schedule for meetings and workouts around when I was going to eat. The quality of my sleep had been diminishing for sometime already, but I hadn’t yet connected the dots…….

COMPANY PROFILE
At The Health Fix we aim to give you the tools you need for longevity and vitality –
– Move at your best
– (p)Rehab an Injury;eliminate lasting aches and pains
– Lose weight for the last time
– Reverse chronic illness;say goodbye to medication
– Optimize your concentration and attention
– Boost your energy
The Health Fix was born following an organic career progression within the fitness industry of its founder Rob Bloom and his ever intensifying passion for achieving optimal human health and performance not just for himself or his clients, but for society as a whole.
In his earlier years in the industry Rob’s focus was on the pre-hab/rehab niche concentrating on movement correction and optimization. His coaching ideology addressed the often forgotten purpose of a training program which should primarily be about being fit, healthy and efficient. He recognized that traditional and ‘old school’ training systems are failing fitness enthusiasts and athletes alike by rendering them injured or impaired rather than improved and empowered.
Rob set out to change that fact with his Training for Humans concept that re-focussed the mis-used term ‘functional training’ into a fitness program that brings out the best possible movement, endurance and integrated strength abilities and performance of the trainee. This was achieved by re-assesment and activation of human biomechanics of the trainee via a range of corrective exercises and multi-planar movement routines.
Whilst this work was always fulfilling to him, Rob realized that the problem was even greater and that the movement issues suffered by so many were just a symptom of a wider problem of general health decline throughout society. Following a re-assessment of the situation, Rob established The Health Fix, with a view to getting as many people back to optimum health by tackling their physical, physiological and psychological health as one holistic issue that cannot be separated from its individual parts. The Health Fix aims to end the constant cycles of health ailments and to keep people out of the medical system;to bring about comfort, longevity, mental clarity, maximum energy and with it content, fulfillment and happiness.
In today’s world where only approximately 10% of society are genuinely in good health, everyone has a friend, parent, loved one or colleague that would benefit from upgrading their health. Statistically speaking, most of the partners themselves would likely benefit from a boost in energy, sharper concentration or maintainable weight loss.
