What I love about Fighting Fit

Working with motivated clients and fellow staff members. This is not a “pretty, show off your body or latest outfit” gym. Both clients and staff are here to work hard and achieve goals. They are my gym family.

Favourite Quotes

  • You only live once, so live life to the full and make every moment count
  • Never take love for granted, show your loved ones your feelings continually

  • Train hard, fight easy

Favourite Exercise

Push ups

What do I hope clients get out of training with me

A good example to follow. I hope they are aware I do not ask them to do anything I do not do myself. As well as a stronger fitter body I hope I also strengthen them mentally to be able to push through pain and adversity and successfully come out the other side. Enjoyment, a sense of achievement and the ability to like who they see in the mirror.

One sentence that best describes me

An honest, hard-working &  proud Australian who lives by his standards and beliefs (this is certainly what I strive to be).
