Approach
Christian’s coaching style is built on the personal connection he creates with his clients. He takes the time to understand your life, goals and challenges, and uses that knowledge to develop an individualised program, just for you. He’s a firm believer that, while progress may look different for everyone, the best results come when you feel supported, not judged. From strength training to endurance, weight loss and everything in between, Christian has the experience and passion to help you improve.
Christian’s favourite moment in his professional career was helping a client to achieve a 15kg weight loss transformation. The client came in with a real desire to change and Christian channelled that energy into a structured plan; overhauling their nutrition and building a consistent routine of cardio and strength training. Watching that client physically and mentally transform over the next few months, was a reminder of exactly why Christian does what he does.
About Christian
Christian doesn’t just coach fitness, he lives it. He has taken on running in a big way, completing the Sydney Marathon three times as well as over 20 half marathons. He has also competed in bodybuilding, stepping on stage after dropping 10kg in just 12weeks to get under 10% body fat. He’s well equipped with experience of both the physical and mental challenges that come with working toward big goals. He’s also no stranger to getting in the trenches alongside his clients, supporting them through a range of fitness events including Spartan, True Grit, Raw Challenge and even HYROX.
Like every athlete, Christian’s journey hasn’t always been smooth. He knows what it’s like to lose motivation mid-training block, to feel the pressure of a big goal looming overhead, and to wonder if you’re doing enough. Preparing for his bodybuilding competition taught him, firsthand, how relentless the mental game can be and there were weeks where the required discipline felt unsustainable, but he had to find ways to keep showing up anyway. Those experiences gave him a genuine understanding of how his clients may feel when they’re working towards their goals and how to develop the skills to create long term, positive changes.
Outside of training, Christian keeps the energy going as a DJ at parties and weddings, and loves unwinding with the latest releases on his favourite streaming services.
