Abraam commenced his sport and fitness journey at an early age with many challenges faced. Abraam aspired of becoming a soccer player and was determined to succeed. He would train in his room after school doing push ups and sit ups along with eating healthy, as he was an overweight child and knew that the first steps to achieve his dream was getting fit and losing weight. As he got older he began training at a gym whilst playing in a local soccer team, this gave him the confidence and motivation he needed.

Abraam’s body was challenged with patella tendinitis (knee injury) halting his soccer aspirations which made him decide to take his training more seriously. He sees his injury as a blessing as it made him learn the mechanics of the body. He realised he needed to stretch and strengthen certain muscles to overcome his knee injury.

Abraam realised his true passion for fitness through his challenges and now wants to share his knowledge to help others achieve their strength and conditioning or weight loss goals. Abraam believes in honesty and doing everything he can to help his clients, he is very friendly and likes to vary up his training to keep things interesting for you, as he believes that training should be challenging but also enjoyable.

I moved into the fitness industry after a lifetime in the corporate world. This enables me to understand the demands of a busy career in the CBD and the stresses this places on a person physically and mentally.

I know how you feel. I have been there, and know the value of working with a trainer. It took me three attempts before I entered a gym. I felt insignificant, had no confidence and hated my body.

I am now a person that loves to challenge myself and have completed several half marathons and many 10 km events.

I can help you build your confidence, overcome your stress, improve your sleep and lose that weight. So you will be happier and feel better in your body.

I am passionate about nutrition and healthy eating and provide support and encouragement to clients so they reach and maintain their goals, including managing the stresses of a corporate life.

I understand the unique challenges that highly ambitious, time poor, professional’s face. That’s why they hire me. Life is hectic enough having to juggle deadlines, meetings & family commitments, let alone finding time to achieve their personal goals. My clients work with me because I give them direction and inspiration. When they come into the gym they maximise their time, energy & effort. We do things that get results. They don’t leave the gym asking WHY they aren’t getting results. My passion is getting the best out of people; being that unreasonable friend who demands more of you. The one who has your back. Who’s your biggest fan and your worst critic; so you’re always working towards your goals at full steam. I am ambitious, strong and loyal to my clients. I get the best out of people because I realise they want the best for themselves, I am not going to list my qualifications – my results speak for themselves, I’ve been taught by the best in the industry & have travelled around the world to learn what I know. I’d love to have a chat to you about your goals. If you want to get your results as fast as possible, come say hi to me in the gym or give me a call on 0450 497 762.
