I started training because at the time it was it was the “thing” to do. I was 16 and thought the only exercises you needed was bench and curls. Slowly over the next few years I realised there is a lot more to training and strive to be on the cutting edge of nutrition, lifting and boxing. I believe the easy tasks in life are usually not worth doing, I heard a quote “iron sharpens iron”, I train for pain and the struggle because that is how I grow. “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable”

I moved to Queenstown 10 years ago, a typical “on my travels, staying for 1 year” scenario. Prior to this I had worked within the Fitness Industry for 3 years in the UK. In 2009 I joined in Fight Science’s first ever boxing bootcamp with Braden Lee and Mark Wilson. From then on Boxing has been a huge part of my life, in every aspect, from fighting, coaching and fitness. It is a very similar story with the gym, not only is it the place I am lucky enough to work and train but it is also where I met my fiance 8 years ago. Awww! I came on board at Industrial Fitness as the manager in 2015. My passion is to encourage people, watch their confidence grow and improve their self esteem one punch at a time! Fate whispers to the warrior “you cannot withstand the storm.” The warrior whispers back, “I am the storm.”

I have worked in the Fitness Industry over the last 16 years in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Having been on my own fitness and weight loss journey I can emphasise with the challenges my clients will overcome when reaching their own goals. The Fitness Industry and an active lifestyle has led me to travel and train in many place around there world with my fiancé Kat. We moved tho Queenstown in 2014 and instantly fell in love with FightScience, the unique culture and freedom to be creative with your training makes it like nowhere else! We had a brief 19 month spell in Canada but the lure of a life in Queenstown and the dream job as a Fitness Centre Manager was too good to resist. Queenstown gives me the inspiration to keep training to become the most capable athlete I can. I believe everyone should embrace their full physical potential to get the most out of life and become the best possible version of themselves and it is my passion to help them do this! “No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. ”

I arrived in Queenstown back in 2014 with my fiancé Gary. We had already found (Fight Science) Industrial Fitness online before we found a home. We signed up the 2nd day in town, and having just quit smoking after 8 years, I was eager to kick start my fitness, and kick start I did! Industrial Fitness pushed and challenged me like nothing else before and I fell head over heels with working out. I decided to invest in my new found passion and got my qualification in Personal Training. After 2 years in QT, we decided to move to Canada wanting to try new things. After 18 months we realised Canada wasn’t for us and there was nowhere like Queenstown, and no gym like Industrial Fitness. It had very much become our home away from home. We were asked to come back and pursue our dreams working in the fitness industry. I absolutely love helping people achieve their goals and prove that they are capable of anything they set there mind to! This gym is our 2nd home and family, and I want to make every person fall in love with taking care of their body. I love to keep fitness as functional and creative as possible. “Comparison will kill you. Be YOU!” “If we wait until we’re ready we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives”

I arrived in Queenstown in 2017 on an overnight decision to start a new adventure. With no direction, familiar faces, or place to live, I naturally ended up at the gym… the one place I knew what to do. After a couple weeks I was approached to join the crew, and have not looked back since. This gym has become my playground, and this team has become my family. I test my limits every day and do things that scare me. If I’m not up in the mountains or trying to dodge punches in the ring, you can find my friendly face behind the desk, ready to help people achieve their goals. “great things never come from comfort zones”

I have been heavily involved within the fitness industry for over 10 years. My passion for health and fitness started at a young age when I began my rugby career. After a few years playing at a professional level, I unfortunately suffered several injuries and was forced to retire from the game. However, I didn’t loose my passion for health and fitness, I focused my attention on coaching and nutrition and am now able to share my passion, knowledge and enthusiasm with my clients! This has also come from my experience in rugby, amateur mixed martial arts and physique body building.
I have worked closely with professional athletes and teams from a number of sporting back grounds, from Rugby teams and football players to boxers and endurance atheletes.

My training has allowed me to not only help train athletes at a high level but provide, nutritional support and personal training to people of all abilities, shapes, sizes and experience.

“Pain is temporary, it may last for a minute, an hour, a day or a year but eventually it will subside.. and at the end of pain is success”

IF gym is like no other. I don’t only love it for the cool vibe it gives off, the space and the equipment, but all of the members and awesome team involved. I truly feel blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family.. “Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.”

I have been involved in sport since I was a kid and have always loved to exercise. Though I graduated with a marketing degree, I continued to pursue my love of fitness by getting certified as a PT, Spin instructor, Pilates instructor (both mat & reformer) and a nutritional therapy diploma. Industrial Fitness gives me the opportunity to put both my skills and my passions together. “You don’t need to be great to start but you need to start to be great.”

I have lived in Queenstown for the past year and a half now, following a a few years of traveling it is where I plan to stay. I was chasing the snow with having done seasons in France and Japan and becoming a ski instructor. Although I have turned to the dark side and now snowboard over here. Prior to jetting off and seeing the world I was a personal trainer, group fitness instructor teaching 15/20 classes per week and newly qualified as a Sport Massage Therapist. My love for the fitness industry grew from being a national level Gymnast then come Diver. I was diving and competing alongside the Great British squad. I now enjoy fitness for FUN I love going to fitness classes, hiking and biking in summer and ski, snowboarding in the winter. “Look after your body and it will look after you”

My passion for travel and adventure is what originally brought me to Queenstown and my experience in the fitness and health industry has given me the opportunity to make it my home. I have been involved in competitive sports for as long as I can remember including gymnastics, running, swimming, track and field, power lifting, climbing, boxing and muay thai. Although I had good success in these sports Muay Thai is where I really excelled, having my first fight at age 11 and my first pro fight at 16 I was able to win multiple British championship titles and a European title as a junior as well as area and national titles as a pro. As well as developing my self as an athlete this gave me the opportunities to develop my work life in sports and fitness. I now have over 10 years experience working in the health and fitness industry, coaching, personal training and management. “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is better and your better is best.”

After leaving high school I made the natural choice for me and went down to Dunedin to study Personal Training and Exercise Prescription at the Sports Institute Of Otago . Since graduating I have trained people in gyms and health clubs in both New Zealand and Australia and also spent around 5 years running bootcamps in Queenstown and Wellington. Being lucky enough to grow up in the Wakatipu and being sports mad I had the opportunity to play as many sports as possible during the years and was lucky enough to make it to rep level in many of them. After  studying I put my sporting focus 100% into Rugby League with My biggest achievements signing contracts with the Sydney Roosters development team and after that with the burleigh bears {a feeder club to the Gold coast Titians}

I have a genuine passion for health and Fitness and love training and helping people in transforming and achieving their health and fitness goals, and I’m looking forward to helping more of you achieve them?

When I joined Industrial Fitness I felt quite intimidated, but after some time the team has made me feel the gym is my home too and that I was part of this family and not just a number. So when the opportunity came along to be a member of staff I took it right a way. I’m super proud of being part of the IF Team!“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
