Hi I’m Andrew, Fitness Manager here at South Pacific Health Clubs. My fitness journey started at the age of 11, at a local gym in Dubbo, NSW. I was loving my Martial Arts and Kids Weights Program.

I began working in the Industry from 1998, teaching Martial Arts, Fitness Boxing and Gym work. Ever since, I have been working in a variety of areas within the Industry which included owning two gyms. I love helping others achieve their fitness goals, and being the best they can be!

I was brought up in a very healthy conscious family and given early access to the industry through my father. My father has owned a community gym in the heart of Denmark for over three decades, so this way of life has become a part of my DNA. As I have grown older I have gained a great understanding of how looking after your wellbeing, health and fitness can have a major impact on your life.

I love focusing on enabling people to live a balanced lifestyle, as your mental wellbeing is just as important as your physical goals. My previous experience as a handball player has made me very aware that time, hard work and dedication are major components in the fulfilment of peoples goals and aspirations. I want to be there, next to you, throughout your journey, as witnessing people realise their fitness dreams and change their way of life, is the biggest gift you can get as a Personal Trainer.

Gabriel is an exceptional strength and conditioning coach with a bachelors degree in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Ballarat.

For the last 3 years he’s been honing his skills with some of Melbourne’s best injury management professionals and sporting coaches.

Because of his skill set, Gabriel is able to manage a wide variety of clientele whether they need rehab for ongoing injuries, or further development of their chosen sport.

I am a former European professional basketball player and personal trainer who has spent a total of 6 years playing within the European Union.

During my career I have dedicated and spent countless hours perfecting my professional skills so that you can train with the best whilst hitting all your fitness goals.

I believe that with discipline, persistence and professional guidance, you can achieve the fitness goals that you are aiming for!

In 2016 I achieved one of my biggest life goals, I entered and was placed 2nd in one of Australia’s biggest body transformation challenges. This success inspired me so in 2017 I then stood on stage as a Fitness and Sports Model winning the Sports Model Division.

These achievements have inspired me to help and support others transform their mind-set, eating habits, fitness goals and attitude towards leading a healthier and sustainable lifestyle.

With this in mind, my clients achieve their goals through individually tailored programs, education through correct technique and professionally recognised training methods. We will set realistic goals and whilst working together as a team help you reach and achieve yours.
