Increased
time spent at home credited for surge in self improvement
25th June,
2020, DUBAI, UAE: The closure of gyms and working from home has
created more time for adult learning, UAE-based website A Life Of Education (alifeofeducation.com)
reports. Many people in the fitness industry are using that time for
self-improvement, investing in their futures, boosting their resumes, and
benefitting from the knowledge of world-renowned thought leaders.
Offering a wide range
of fitness courses, the portal was co-founded
by Caroline Leon, who suffered a rock climbing accident that left her learning
to walk again after 14 reconstructive surgeries to her spine, pelvis and feet,
and her rehabilitation trainer Keith O’Malley-Farrell, the website was launched
in September 2019.
A Life
of Education co-founder Keith O’Malley-Farrell said “Our platform’s mission is
to bring knowledge and expertise from around the world to fitness professionals
here in Dubai. It is fantastic to see how the fitness industry is turning what
would otherwise been unallocated time, into time spent investing in themselves
through education and self improvement. Online CPD courses for teachers
will
pay significant dividends over the near term as they return to more regular
work patterns. Furthermore, the long term benefits are clear as fitness
professionals are able to create more diversified and sustainable offerings that
benefit the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of their clients.”

About A Life of Education:
In
2015, A Life of Education founder, Caroline Leon survived a life threatening
rock-climbing accident, after she fell 7m. Over the course of two years she
underwent 14 surgeries to repair; two shattered calcanei, reconstruct multiple
broken bones in each foot, along with re-attaching her shattered right ilium,
reconstructing her right pubic bone and replacement/reconstruction of her T12,
L1 & L2 vertebrae.
By the
time Caroline had taught herself to walk again, it was time for her to progress
and step out of the clinical setting. Her effort to find a rehabilitation
instructor to effectively take her through this complex stage of her rehab,
proved more difficult than anticipated.
After
numerous negative and disappointing experiences, Caroline was finally recommended
to contact injury rehabilitation
personal trainer Keith O'Malley-Farrell from
The Physical Training Company. Keith had a wide ranging experience
rehabilitating patients recovering from complex trauma injuries during his time
working in the UK with the British Military.
It was
clear to both, that while the general health and fitness community was well
versed in weight loss, body building, yoga, Pilates and gym instruction, as a
whole, the in-depth understanding of the complexities involved with effectively
supporting those confronted with out of the ordinary challenges, just didn't do
the industry justice.
From
this, Caroline invited Keith to collaborate with her and A Life of Education
was born. Our aim was to bring leading experts from around the world of health
and fitness together on one brand new platform to share their knowledge and
expertise on a global scale. By watching and learning from those specialists in
their fields students will continue their professional development and
education through a more flexible, more accessible and more affordable
education platform.
