Braden Lee
Business OwnerMy name is Braden Lee, I started PT in 2003 and have been in the industry ever since. I have worked with athletes, NHL and WHL hockey players, rowers, cricketers and also lucky enough to work with Jason Statham, however those aren’t my biggest achievements, my biggest achievements are helping ordinary individuals improve their lives through fitness and health. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

PERSONAL TRAINERI 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”

Linda Coultrip
Operations ManagerI 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.”

Gary Gregory
Fitness ManagerI 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. ”

Katherine Farmer
Fitness AssistantI 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”

Jules Vassalos
PERSONAL TRAINERI 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”

Tommy Laurenson
Sales & Personal TrainerI 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.

Rob Horrocks
General Manager / Muay Thai CoachMy 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.”
