Leigh did an excellent job of showing how we are programmed as children and how that programming often becomes the source of our pain as adults. He gave many simple examples of how he mentors people through the reprogramming process. Leigh also showed how many of the PPS Success Mastery program methods actually work in a clinical practice.

Leigh's composure and delivery were excellent… .take time to study Leigh's offering.”

I am Leigh Brandon and if you already know me, you will perhaps know me as a CHEK Practitioner Level 4, Holistic Lifestyle Coach Level 3, Strength & Conditioning Coach, BodyTalk Practitioner or as a teacher and presenter.

What you may not know is that I studied business & finance and then Business Management at University. I also played a significant role in developing and growing the personal training business at Holmes Place Health Clubs from the days of its inception in 1999 to a £12 million per year business by 2004. In that time, I managed, coached and trained thousands of health and fitness professionals. Since the end of 2004, I have been running a very successful practice as an independent CHEK Practitioner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach.

It is my goal to help other health and fitness professionals achieve the same success that I have been able to achieve whether you wish to stay working for an organisation, work freelance or run your own business.

It has not been a totally smooth ride for me. I have made lots of mistakes and will no doubt make more in the future. That is how we learn and grow. What I would like to pass on to you is a fast-track way to success saving you lots of time and without having to make all the same mistakes I made.

What Does the Programme Involve?

Here’s what they’ve been saying about the ABCD Programme:

“I just wanted to thank you for all your help with the mentoring programme so far. It has really helped me develop a clear structure and systems for my business.

Your knowledge and support throughout has been first class. You really have helped me to see a number of things that I didn’t understand or hadn’t grasped fully in different and more productive ways which now make a lot more sense and more importantly that I can apply with my business and with my clients. 

I have and will continue to recommend you and your programmes to clients and trainers alike”.
