Kev Berry

My passion for health and fitness began with my qualification as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist in 1999. I honed my skills in various gyms, providing personalized gym programs and spinning classes to a diverse clientele. This experience paved the way for my transition into sports therapy, where I embarked on a rewarding journey in semi-professional football with Christchurch & Bashley FC.

My expertise extended to the professional realm when I joined AFC Bournemouth, working with the under-18 team. My primary responsibilities involved providing pitch-side medical support, rehabilitation programs, and pre-season fitness testing for players. I also played a crucial role in designing and implementing strength training regimens to enhance the players’ overall performance.

After a decade of dedicated service at AFC Bournemouth, I sought new challenges. I ventured into the field of workplace wellbeing, introducing seated massage services to businesses in Bournemouth. This experience provided me with valuable insights into the connection between work environment, workload, autonomy, and overall employee wellbeing. To address these concerns, I collaborated with Dorset MIND to implement mental health awareness training for staff. I also developed a comprehensive wellbeing strategy that focused on promoting key areas of physical, mental, and financial wellness.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to promoting health and wellness in various settings. My expertise and passion have positively impacted the lives of countless individuals, both on and off the field.
