Sleep Well and Train Better - Optimising Exercise Through Sleep Using CBT for Insomnia

CPDs : 2

Are your clients struggling to sleep well? Poor sleep can make it harder to lose weight, build muscle, and stay focused—directly impacting the effectiveness of your training sessions.

Introducing the Sleep Well & Train Better Course – a comprehensive online programme created by Kathryn Pinkham, the UK’s leading Sleep Expert. This course is designed to equip fitness professionals with the tools and knowledge to help clients improve their sleep quality and achieve their fitness goals.
