My fitness journey started out as an overweight teenager who just played video games and ate a lot of food, so I began going to the gym to lose weight and fell in love with training. (I still eat a lot of food and play video games but life is about balance). That progressed into finding Powerlifting which I did for a few years until I sustained a major ankle fracture. After recovering I decided to change up my training and began doing Weightlifting and CrossFit which is the majority of my training now, although I do like to try new things all the time such as triathlon and rock climbing to broaden my horizons and expand my knowledge. I started coaching because I wanted to share my knowledge and expertise, as well as pass on the joy that fitness brought to my life to others, and I still maintain that desire today. I love being a part of the Bond Performance team because I believe it is the pinnacle of training facilities in Melbourne, with coaches and management that strive to be their best and genuinely care about each and every member.
