Meet Steve

Brought up in the western suburbs of Sydney, totally on the wrong side of the tracks. Written off by family, peers, school teachers and the like as a lost cause. I admit I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque on a few occasions and almost went down a path that had no way to return from.

Thankfully I immersed myself in Olympic style weightlifting. Although I strayed from this several times, it was the one positive thing in my life. Eventually, I did really well at my chosen sport. I became national schoolboy, youth, junior and senior champion and set several state and national records, some of which still stand.

From my lifting, I learnt that if I set myself goals and work hard in other areas of my life then anything is possible.

Later in life, I fell into a spiral of bad habits which included bad food and booze etc. I was overweight and unhappy for about 15 years. It wasn’t until I turned 40 that I woke up and realised time was running out and I could not afford to waste it.

I turned my life around and became fit again. I eventually found myself in the position I’m in today. I coach both on a one on one basis with a cross-section of the population and I run an outdoor group fitness business. I also work with a charity to provide coaching for their members.

I honestly believe it is never too late and fitness is for Everyone!

In fact, as we age we need to focus more on exercise, with an emphasis on resistance work.
