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 found my passion for fitness whilst serving in the Army. I’ve been a Personal Trainer since 2010, helping my clients obtain their goals and maintain motivation. I pan & execute nutrition strategies, workouts & provide attention over specific problems such as obesity and injuries.
I have experience in strength and conditioning, pre/post natal, boxing, kickboxing and circuit training. I specialise in habitual change, weight loss and Precision Nutrition Coaching.

Changing your habits & your body is hard, so keep it simple and remember: NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi guys my name is Daniel, my love for fitness started young from playing footy, cricket and BMX riding. When I turned 18 I found the gym and fell in love and haven’t looked back.
Doing my own research for 8 years and adding my official qualifications into the mix, I strongly believe I can help anyone to achieve any goal they may have, whether it is anything from general fitness to rehabilitation.

Please don’t hesitate to call/text or email with any questions or queries. It’s only a stupid question if you don’t ask.

Whatever your motivation is for engaging a personal trainer I will take the time to understand your fitness goals and be with you to share your journey.

So, whether your goal is fat loss, muscle building, body tone, strength and conditioning or improving general health I will tailor a program that will be not only be creative, varied and challenging but it will also be fun and rewarding.

Given some of your hard work and dedication and my coaching and support I promise you the results that you can achieve will be significant and the personal rewards that you experience from health and fitness will be amazing.

I have been a qualified personal trainer since 2010. During that time I have spent time working as a Personal Trainer travelling the world whilst helping people change their lives as well as working in the supplements and nutrition industry.

The sooner we get the journey started the closer you will be to achieving those rewarding results.

I love a challenge and want nothing more than to have you reach your personal best at whatever level that may be. Keeping it fun & creative until we reach your goals.

With a Bachelor degree in Health Science majoring in Nutrition I have a passion for fitness, nutrition and overall health and wellbeing. Balance is the key to any health and fitness journey and with the right mix of education, execution and encouragement any goal you set is attainable. To achieve optimum health and vitality it is important to have a healthy diet, participate in regular exercise that is tailored to your needs and enjoy living without any crazy restrictions.

Lets make positive and fun health changes together!
