What we do...

My training ground was lifting and moving heavy awkward objects over vastly undulating terrain in all weathers consistently burning upward of 5000 calories a day with an elevated heart-rate for 10 hours or more. It was arduous, uncompromising work for which you needed professional levels of hydration and nutrition or else risk concentration lapses that could cost you your life. Prolonged exposure to such a high pressure and intense environment  for over 20 years earns you your Malcolm Gladwell stripes. Upskilling and retraining into the fitness industry have been some of the most enlightening experiences of my life and have absolutely cemented my passion for people who are striving towards lofty goals and a healthier future!

Heres some of what we do...

I specialise in...

One on one personal training is unique because it forges a tight bond that with concentrated focus and attention to the small details ensures results. Delivering in-home services has forwarded me the distinct privilege to work with many special populations. In-home training is a real niche as you become integrated into the family and the daily life of the individual giving forth the effort. It helps to be well travelled and well read with a little worldly experience in life, leadership, corporate interfacing, business management skills, integrity, discretion and stress managment. Once trust is developed you're going to leverage that as this is the 'personal' part of the deal which a lot of your clients are looking for. You are their resource! Mix this up with a high level of skill, knowledge, and an extensive bank of exercise methodologies and equipment that align with the goals of the client and you have an awesome powerful package. They'll go to work for you and then you keep them accountable when executing the sessions you set them to do on their own. 

Mobile, comprehensively resourced

Small group, or boot camp training is thrilling due to the culture you can coach and establish that can bring a fun and competitive spirit to what is also very gruelling and challenging. I have coached groups of individuals that have grown to know each other through the context of this environment to become friends and business networkers out of it and small teams that use it to brainstorm, motivate and build a sense of team through the adversity of effort. It is a very productive forum for idea generating and discussion while at the same time an extremely non-threatening way to reveal each persons unique blend of strengths and weaknesses, leadership, communications skills and strategies, and how best to ultimately combine those to assemble and formulate a powerful team. Having a white board close for break outs can reveal the most startling solutions to problems that may have taken forever to resolve. Keep a towel close as well. This interval type training transforms bodies and minds! This is a mobile, fun, cost effective, very well resourced way to get results. 

Empower your Team

I have been involved in team coaching for over twenty years and have found it to be a very humbling experience. I study my craft constantly and 80% of my reading is about coaching and leadership, not just in sports, but also in business and management. It can be an elusive and confounding challenge but yet one that can expose you to the most rewarding experiences of your life. Reading about it won't make you an expert, you have to put hours in in the trenches for that, but it can help to untangle some of the vagaries of what I've come to respect as an art.

I truly believe mastery of team coaching is out of reach and that if you undertake to become a coach you are undertaking a lifetime of continuing education, evolutionary (experiential) learning that can only be enhanced and improved by a commitment to study, asking questions, spending time with guru's and exposing yourself to a group of individuals whom you may learn more from, than they may ever learn from you. You have to be open to that!

That accumulated experience so far has lead me to believe that personal integrity, empathy, being authentic, a good listener, but most importantly, a great communicator, are vital traits to work on and develop! That builds trust.

It is a vital skill for the coach to represent a culture that empowers each of those unique individual contributions within a structured, disciplined, organized and motivating environment, and then to make them accountable to the team generated, stated, measurable, process focussed goals of the team as a whole.
