Founder

I grew up playing rugby league and getting my start in strength training when I was 15. My parents bought my brothers and I a weight set to complement our footy training, which was the beginning of my love of strength training.

Fitness has been a big part of my life ever since, with this passion turning into a profession. In my years of working as a fitness professional, I kept coming across the same disappointing story. I kept meeting people who felt that they didn’t belong in a gym, were intimidated at the thought, and didn’t know where to begin.

I knew from both personal and professional experience the transformative power of strength training, and I knew I wanted to build a space with these people in mind. My goal is to help people find joy in movement and discover what their bodies are capable of.

Whether you’re brand new to strength training or looking to build on what you already know, I’m here to help you take that next step, whatever it may look like.
