Having started in the health and fitness industry in 2012 coaching kids sport and Personal Training in 2014. Finding and developing a passion for improved movement and strength training has led Brent on a path to helping others to achieve the body and goals of their dreams. Furthering my education and understanding of the human body through a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree,  approaching personal training with very scientific and research backed methods.

A keen eye for detail having worked with a wide range of clientele from beginners, injury rehabilitation, athletes and elderly people; all of which have very different goals in the gym and require different, individualised approaches. There is a uniqueness to each person and how they respond to training, which fuels Brent’s curiosity in learning more; constantly reading through literature, research study’s, books and podcasts to keep up to date on the latest trends and time-tested methodologies.
