Boxing Coach – Level One Boxing Australia Accredited
My approach to personal training is rooted in a holistic and balanced philosophy. I believe that achieving optimal health requires a comprehensive focus on the body, mind, and soul. Without this balance, it’s challenging to sustain exercise and make it a lasting part of your everyday life.
With over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, both in Ballarat and overseas, personal training is not just my profession—it’s my passion. I’ve had the privilege of helping clients succeed in various goals, whether it’s weight loss, rehabilitation, running a marathon or triathlon, or simply enjoying their training sessions with me.
I hold a degree in sports science and have continuously pursued education to deepen my understanding of the mind, body, and soul. My dedication to this field is unwavering, and I am committed to helping others achieve their optimal health.
I believe in listening to your body and guiding you to get the most out of your sessions. My goal is to support you in a nurturing way, empowering you to reach your goals.
