A bit about my Fitness journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been involved with sport or exercise for over 30 years. My early years of experience were in the form of competitive gymnastics from age 5 through to 13. I spent a few years playing soccer as well, then moved on to rugby union at the age of 14. I continued to play rugby, surf, and practice martial arts until I turned 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was during the next period of my life, between 19 to 21, I experienced a dramatic drop in availability of time for exercise…and an over supply of food. I had never had weight issues before this so thought nothing of eating everything presented to me…I went from 74kg to 98kg in about four months!!! I realised I was not immortal, or even immune to weight issues, and knew I needed to know how to keep in shape even when time and resources are limited. It took me 6 months, but I got back down to 76kg which is where I stayed for a few years before beginning weight training to aid in my rugby playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days due to functional fitness training I sit at about 85kg, which I am happy with. I continue to discover new training methods and strive to be the best me I can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I share this side of my life with you to let you know, I know from personal experience, how easy it is for the weight to creep up, and harm your life without you even seeing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember the best way to cook a frog is to slowly raise the temperature of the water. Too hot too soon and it’ll jump right out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is with our weight, our life options are slowly taken from us as we grow in size, without us even realising!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to help people realise, just what an awesome active life is achievable simply by putting in the effort, and getting that heart rate up for 30 minutes a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group training is a great inexpensive way to have some fun, and feel your way back into a healthier, more active you, under the supervision and guidance of a degree qualified trainer (me) and lifelong health student.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
