WHY ARE YOU A FITNESS COACH?
Fitness has been my passion since I was a teenager. Growing up, I played a lot of sport but also struggled with being overweight. My own transformation, physically, mentally, and emotionally became the spark that led me to coaching. I’ve experienced first-hand how powerful fitness can be in changing your life, and that’s what drives me. I love helping others become the best version of themselves, not just for a moment, but in a way that’s sustainable for life. Coaching gives me purpose, it’s my way of paying it forward.
HOW HAS CCP SHAPED YOUR COACHING PRACTICE?
CCP and CoachRx completely elevated the way I coach. It gave me structure, confidence and clarity in applying fitness principles that truly serve the individual. Instead of chasing trends or noise, I now use frameworks that allow me to personalise programs based on what actually matters. The education taught me how to think, not just what to think and that has made all the difference. CoachRx as a platform also makes it simple and seamless to deliver high-quality coaching that’s aligned with those principles. It’s not just about giving someone a program, it’s about creating an experience that supports their goals, lifestyle and long-term success.
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE TRAINING SESSION?
Hard to choose just one, but I love a good long, gritty session. Something like: 3 heavy squat cleans + 500m row + 1km run, rest 2 mins x 8 rounds. Simple, effective and pushes the limit physically and mentally. Let’s go.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NOURISHING MEAL?
Tough call, because I love all food but I always come back to the basics. Beef mince, white rice, and steamed veggies is a daily go-to. That said… a proper Italian wood-fired pizza! Can’t go past it.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES OUTSIDE OF THE GYM?
I’m always working on building my business and community, but outside of that I love golf, mountain biking, road cycling, hiking, and getting outdoors. I’m also big on deep conversations and connecting with my faith and God.
