What makes you passionate about the health and fitness industry:
For most of my life I was obese and lacked motivation to exercise. Luckily, that all came to an end when I joined a workplace Biggest Loser-type competition. My starting weight was 113kg and when I won the competition I weighed 95kg. That was many years ago and it actually lead me to a career as Personal Trainer so I could help others wanting to lose weight and get fit. I began as a typical Personal Trainer, using free-weights and machines and working in gyms and studios. Over the last few years, meeting new people and continually learning more about natural health, I discovered Natural Movement and Play and have evolved my training style to include truly functional and fun movements with my own training and my clients.
I am very passionate about educating people on the benefits of exercising less and playing more. Instead of "working out" for 45 mins each day I show people (even the incredibly busy people) how they can integrate movement into the day. Movements that will not only increase strength and fitness but also promote happiness, joy and may one day even save their life. Another aspect of what I do is taking a long-term and sustainable approach to achieving wellness, and putting a lot less emphasis on weight loss, but more so just good health and happiness.
