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.

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.
