Chrissie Gallagher Mundy
UCFB Wembley
Course Leader
BA (Hons) Physical Education
Chrissie’s career has been a bit of a circus act- literally! She’s been a gymnast, trapeze artist and even a bricklayer in her time (she builds abs and walls!). Moving from running a successful fitness company for 20 years into teaching and academia, Chrissie is a health and fitness specialist, with 13 fitness books published, 25 academic citations and a successful lecturing career to her name.
Her qualifications in health, fitness, and pedagogy have seen her not only teaching in schools and prison but consulting for key companies, such as VISA and the NHS. When she’s not working, you’ll find her upside down perfecting her handstands or chasing tennis balls on the court!
