When Did You Start Your Fitness Journey?
I began my fitness journey at 13 or 14 years old, doing press-ups and sit-ups in my bedroom. Alongside this, I was active in multiple school sports and practiced martial arts outside of school.
That early passion led me to pursue a career in the field. I earned a degree in Sport and Exercise Science followed by a master’s in Sport and Exercise Physiology. Since then, I’ve spent over 10 years working in elite professional sport and with the general public, helping people reach their full physical potential.
How Has Fitness Helped You in Other Areas of Life?
Fitness has been transformational in my life. The confidence you gain from being strong and moving well gives you the self-belief to take on anything—whether it’s:
- A DIY project
- A 10K run
- A parents’ race at your child’s school
Knowing your body can perform is empowering. It’s about more than just looking good—it's about being capable in any situation life throws at you.

What Advice Would You Give to People Starting Their Fitness Journey?
“The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.”
It all starts with one step. Don’t overthink it—just begin. The momentum builds from there. Let’s get started.
What’s the Best Thing About Being Part of Physique Academy?
Hands down—the team.
Everyone supports each other. We share knowledge, uplift one another, and are united by a common mission: to deliver life-changing results for our clients and inspire more people to do the same.
What’s Your Favourite Style of Training?
- Strength Training
- Functional Fitness
There’s nothing like the feeling of hitting a heavy deadlift or pushing your limits in an EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) session. It’s where strength meets grit.
Why Are Routine and Discipline Important to You?
Routine and discipline are the backbone of progress.
They allow you to:
- Stay productive
- Pursue your goals with purpose
- Cut out procrastination
- Replace aimless drifting with focused action
With a clear “why” and structured daily habits, you’ll achieve more than you ever thought possible. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up consistently.
Have You Ever Had a Setback in Training?
Yes—multiple setbacks.
From broken bones and ligament injuries to knee surgeries and back issues, I’ve experienced them all.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
- Accept the setback
- Adapt your training
- Keep moving forward
I trained different body parts. I embraced other forms of cardio. I didn’t give up—I took a detour but stayed on course toward my goals.
That’s the mindset I aim to instil in every client:
"Keep moving forward—even if the path changes."
