My Story

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few years sharing my knowledge with you. I’ve also been lucky enough to have a number of clients who have been willing to share their personal stories with you to inspire, motivate and sometimes just to relate. Today, for the first time I am sharing with you my personal story. This is the health story that when I reflect now has most shaped the person, the professional and the athlete that I have become. I hope that it will give you insight into what inspires me to come to work every day and change attitudes to life, death and disease through exercise:

Finding My Fit

Firstly, I want to say how grateful I am to be working with Jarrat Wood PT. I’ve truly found my passion and am committed to helping every one of you achieve your long-term goals. But my commitment to this gym hasn’t just been over this last month. I’ve been a member for 4 years. So as someone who’s been both a client and trainer, I want to share my own Jarrat Wood PT transformation story. 

SMH Half Marathon Wrap

The SMH Half Marathon (21.1km) has been run and done on Sunday, 15th March and once again we had a number of clients (and staff) put together outstanding performances. Marcella was brilliant as head cheerleader and photographer and I decided to use the photo above as the best representation of the day and the efforts of the group. You see, it’s not the actual running of the event for me that is important. It’s in the quiet moments in the lead-up to the run. This was one such moment. We were together as a group but you can see from the photo that everyone was together but alone with their thoughts at the same time. For some, their performance on Sunday was the result of years of hard work. For others it was weeks. Regardless, the outcome is a product of the process. A process of hard work, sacrifice. Today, I acknowledge the work that each individual put in to perform their best. Read on for the full wrap:
