Since 2010 my goal and passion has been to deliver highly specialised training programs to my clients, whether they are training for a certain goal such as the Ironman, or simply trying to lead a healthier overall lifestyle.
As a personal trainer, I know that everybody who wants to workout has something that they’d like to achieve. Many commercial gyms – and the trainers in these gyms – fail to offer highly specialised training programs for their clients, leaving them frustrated and demotivated.
After years of studying and tweaking my most successful training regimes, I developed three packages which are geared towards helping you achieve your desired goal. The packages focus holistically on strength, conditioning and functional training and are highly specific to the South African market, ultimately offering greater value to your session so that you can confidently and effectively achieve your desired goal with me by your side every step of the way.
What I don’t offer is a generic, cookie-cutter program straight out of the latest fitness magazine. Instead, I offer personalised programs designed specifically for you and your end goal. These programs are designed to make you move better, get stronger and feel healthier.
A majority of the clients I attract are high-level executives who travel a lot, are highly stressed and who actively participate in sport at some level. These clients are career driven and the workouts are designed to assist them in achieving their goals, be it to lose weight, climb Kilimanjaro or participate in a triathlon.
It all started in 2005 when I decided to study a BCom in Sports Management. From there my love for sports, training and the human body flourished.
In 2010 I made the move to becoming a full-time personal trainer and very quickly learned that there was something missing in the market. I realised that at most commercial gyms, their trainers offered very generic, one-size-fits-all training programs for their clients.
It was after seeing this that my real passion was born – strength and conditioning, and functional training.
For the next two years, I studied and immersed myself in these two disciplines, learning as much as possible. The next step was participating in, and facilitating, workshops so that I could share what I had picked up.
Roll on 2013. I made a decision that would change my life forever. I left a thriving business to join a bigger and better Virgin Active Club where I offered my unique packages to a new group of clients. The risk paid off when, in my first year at the new club, I was chosen as the top Personal Trainer in the Gauteng Central region, and I was nominated for Virgin Active Personal Trainer of the Year.
The next year would prove to be a biggie for me as I completely redesigned my business, set myself new goals and ultimately set out to change the industry. The hard work, once again, paid off and I was chosen as the Virgin Active Personal Trainer of the Year for 2014, before being asked to assist with a new mentorship program for other Virgin Active Personal Trainers.
I have a business that I love, with clients that I love and it can only get better.
