Rob Blakeman is the U.K.’s premier personal trainer and fitness authority. He has gained this reputation as a result of his no-nonsense approach to developing people’s physiques and athletic abilities to their maximum potential. His unique skills were recognised in the early 1990’s by the Gold’s Gym Fitness Academy when he was made their Bodybuilding and Home fitness advisor. The most versatile trainer in the business, Rob has acted as consultant and nutritional advisor to women’s figure fitness competitors and Beauty Queens, Professional Bodybuilding and Strongmen champions as well as to more well known public figures such as World boxing champions; Ricky Hatton, Nigel Benn and Richie Woodhall along with celebrities such as BBC’s Nick Owen and Julie Mayer and members of Hard Rock Group, Black Sabbath.

Former Bodybuilding Champion Rob is slimming and sports nutrition advisor to Health food giant Holland & Barrett where his “Slim to Win” range of slimming and nutrition products are sold throughout their U.K. stores. He also undertakes new Holland & Barrett store openings and promotions.

He is the Director of Body Zone, a small chain of personal training centres in the West Midlands where he and his highly trained staff consistently produce outstanding results in fitness and, where appropriate, weight-loss for clients from members of the public.

Rob’s unique and scientific methods have enabled The Body Zone Company to obtain an education status in classification.

A highly regarded figure in the world of health, nutrition and the design of fitness programmes, Rob is a frequent guest on radio and TV programmes. A prolific writer for more than ten years he has written for almost every top fitness magazine and newspaper from International Fitness magazines to The Times.

He has written and produced 3 workout videos and last year travelled to California, USA to film an infomercial to promote his products on the ‘Shop America’ television shopping channel.

In 2004 Rob became more determined to reach the public with information he felt was being held back from them. He launched his own Health and Slimming magazine with a circulation of 30,000 being distributed throughout the Midlands area. This was to break free from restrictions he felt placed on his work by freelancing for other journals alone.

A staunch fitness advocate, Rob is dedicated to the fight against obesity and poor health in children. He his currently engaged in a tour of personal seminars for schools to encourage children to eat healthily and exercise. He also works extensively for a disabled kids charity with varying promotions such as public strongman exhibitions. In April 2004 he pulled a fully laden ten tonne fire engine across Birmingham’s Centenary Square to raise thousands of pounds for a disabled children’s charity.

With a view to spreading his message about how obesity and other 21st Century health problems can be beaten, Rob is now launching his new book, PASSION FOR CHANGE. The foreword is by Ko Chohan, author of the best selling Carol Vorderman Detox Books and testimonials from other stars are included.

This is the definitive health book for the New Year. Written by an individual who truly walks the talk and has already helped thousands to do the same, Passion for Change is a comprehensive, truly effective, multi-faceted and holistic guide that will empower readers to make permanent changes in their lives and achieve dramatic improvements in their health and well being.
