Druid High Performance began when our founder, Drew Beattie started volunteering with Age UK back in 2009. Age UK is a charity dedicated to supporting older people. Each week for five years he taught a class consisting of qi gong and seated exercises giving students more independence and a greater sense of wellbeing.
Drew, a dedicated martial artist learned Chinese kung fu and qi gong from 2000-2009, earning his black sash, instructor grade in 2008. It was there that he was able to channel his focus and enthusiasm and where he established a passion for self development, both in terms of the physical and psychological.
In 2011 Drew followed this interest into the training industry working for both a training company, and later on, a national trade association within their training team.
After working in the training industry for 2+ years Drew returned to education in 2015 embarking on a psychology degree with a focus on the areas of performance and health.
This lead to him launching Druid High Performance In 2018 offering holistic coaching in the areas of performance and wellbeing.
Drew works with his own clients and has also worked with partners such as Our Parks, teaching qi gong classes in parks as well as martial arts in youth clubs.
He has also worked with Fun 4 Sports and Fence Club 43, teaching sports in schools including multi-sports and fencing.
In 2023 he completed his Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and began working with Motive8 delivering personal training sessions as well as Strength and Conditioning classes in residential gyms across London.
In late 2024 he earned his brown belt in Brazilian jujitsu, after many years of study under British Open Champion, Michael Russell of Odyssey Bjj
Competing actively in 2016 Drew earned Gold at blue belt in two local competitions.
