Being an independent gym owner is hard, really hard. But, I wouldn’t change it for the world. However, we need support – the right kind of support. The type that solves our problems so we can make our people and business successful.

Independent gym owners must have a representative on the Fitness Australia Board.

2020 has been an incredibly tough year for our industry, particularly in Victoria. What we need now is a united front to move our industry forward and that is why I have nominated for the Board of Fitness Australia.

As a current board member for the past 7 years, I am eligible for election for one final term on the board. Over that time Fitness Australia has evolved to better fit the needs of the industry, but it’s part of the way there, and I’m keen to add value to ensure the future is driven where it needs to go.

My vision is to see the fitness industry become the leaders in medical and preventative health as a solution to the worlds obesity epidemic. That GPs and other medical professionals refer to fitness professionals as the solution to this issue.

My interest is to give back to an industry that I have worked in for almost 30 years. I have been on the Fitness Australia Councils on and off throughout my career giving feedback however I would like to be more involved in the decision- making process now given my years of experience in different areas and roles in our industry.
