I first met John in April 2008 when he was 15-20kg heavier then his ideal weight. For many years he has been a regular season cricketer with his local cricket club but was having increasing troubles with his right shoulder, which he felt might soon stop him from playing cricket. Through a specifically structured program, John, a very determined and hard working participant, was able to lose 7kg in his first 6 weeks of training with me. We started off at two, one-hour sessions a week, then progressively built up to three sessions a week. John showed immediate results in muscular strength, endurance and flexibility and also reported increasing amounts of energy and felt much healthier/fitter. We were able to strengthen his right shoulder through some rehab exercises, which has not only allowed him to continue playing cricket but has also improved his bowling technique and strength.

“Junita weighed 96kg and was struggling to reach the fitness required to pass a beep test in 8 weeks time. A level of 6.2 was the minimum requirement for the Australian Federal Police and Junita could barely make 3.2.

When Junita realised the difficulty of the task ahead she sank to a very low point in her life. I knew this was going to be a tough 8 weeks for her but I kept her positive and began training her 4 sometimes 5 times a week. I taught her how to run efficiently, build her overall strength and gave her the confidence she needed to pass the beep test. After 7 weeks of intense training and determination on her side Junita passed her beep test at a reduced weight of 73 kg. She now regularly maintains great health and works for the AFP based in Canberra.”

“I started training with Rosie 15 years ago.  She was a little lost around how to keep some level of activity and her weight under control, given that she had bad knees and an arthritic foot. Gardening was her passion and “going to the gym” seemed laborious and not worth the effort.  “When will I ever enjoy this?” was the question she asked of me most of all. So slowly, gently, with great humour and friendship to make the session as enjoyable as possible, we started training 3 times a week.  Little body niggles presented but we addressed each and every one of them, working along side the health professionals. We focused on strong, safe exercise. Quickly, Rosie’s gardening reports started speaking of more strength, more stamina, less stiffness. Even though this was never the spoken goal, the outcomes were phenomenal.  So whilst she still doesn’t really ‘like’ gym work, Rosie is committed to her weekly sessions and finds she is so much more able-bodied with regular exercise on her side and is motivated to continue with a stronger, healthier and happier lifetime of gardening.”

I am a full-time Personal Trainer who has been involved in fitness for over 20 years.  After representing Geelong in soccer, I found my passion in bodybuilding and have been doing resistance training for the last 15 years.  Having training with and alongside precious Australian and Victorian body building champions, I have gained invaluable knowledge on programs, exercises, diets and philosophies on how to achieve great results, particularly in the areas of muscle gain, weight loss and general fitness.  I am very adaptable to the needs of each individual and make a point of varying my client’s workouts, so they don’t become bored and stale in their progress.

Your goals are my goals; so let me fast track them today.

“Kristy came to me after being a member of the gym for about 6 months. Before this, she was not getting the results she wanted and had lost all motivation to train. Her goal was to reach 60kg in time for her wedding which was in about another 6 months time and to improve her general well being. Kristy was not sleeping well and lacked energy in her everyday life. While she had lost 3kg, she had hit a plateau and couldn’t lose any more on her own. She still had 12kg to go. By monitoring her eating habits through weekly food diaries and taking her through a variety of focused training sessions, I was able to get Kristy losing weight again and feeling motivated and driven to achieve. She was now sleeping better and her energy levels had gone through the roof. Working with me 3 times a week Kristy lost those unwanted kilos for her big day and her new health conscious habits mean she now maintains her weight by herself while living in Scotland. Not only that, she looks and feels fantastic.”

Do you get frustrated that you’re not achieving your results?  Do you have a goal in mind but it’s taking too long to reach it?  If you answered yes to either of those questions, then it’s time you gave me a call and together we can fast track you to reaching your destination.  I promise you’ll work hard, but I also promise that you’ll have fun.

I have been part of Geelong's Gym since 1992 and in the industry since 1990. In this time I have been involved in many roles: Group Class Instructor, Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed.  I have a Certificate IV in Fitness and am a qualified Group Class Instructor for Les Mills Body Pump, Body Balance, Body Step, Spin (Johnny G) and Freestyle.

On a more personal note, during this time I got married and had two children. My family is my life source but they also understand how important keeping fit and healthy is to me.

Exercise is so important for so many reasons whether it be for strength, flexibility, health, stamina, weight loss or just time out to clear your mind.

If you need help to achieve your goals, stay committed, need to refresh your gym program, or you’re just in need of a new direction for your goals, or like I know mine have from time to time, maybe your goals have changed, then you need to give me a call so we can work on those things together.

I do believe in lifestyle change. But what that means to me is small adjustments that are easy to achieve that bring long-term results. Because we all know that there is nothing worse than putting weight on after working so hard to lose it.

Exercise should be fun; it is for me, so let me help you love it too.

“Vicki came to me wanting to lose some weight, but basically to feel better about herself.  I met her each week for a one hour workout, starting easily but hard enough for her to be out of her comfort zone.  She hadn’t done anything like this before so she was quite nervous and unsure what would happen.  She was very polite, thanking me for every increase in weight, extra set and harder level on the cardio machines.  With her paying attention to her diet by adding more raw food, leaner meats and increasing her water intake, in the first month she lost 5 kilos and 9cm from around her waist.  She felt fantastic and three months down the track she can now run 5km without stopping and can run her very steep 100 metre driveway ten times!  I still see Vicki and she has maintained her weight and fitness over the holidays with the help of a few tasks set for her.  She still thanks me for the increase of weight, sets and cardio.”

Question: Who should you take on a desert island if you could take only one person?  Your partner, your best friend or your personal trainer?
Answer: Your personal trainer because you can swear at them and get away with it.

It’s okay Vicki, you can let it out!
