About Me

“I began lifting weights around ten years ago, initially looking to gain some assistance towards my sports.

After spending some time training, I quickly realised the beneficial nature of weightlifting – both physically and mentally.

Ever since, lifting weights has been a necessary ingredient in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

It’s something I’m passionate about, and something that I wish to impart onto others – assisting them in upgrading their life experience.”

Lifting As A Lifestyle

Building Stronger, Healthier Lives

From starting out in the gym as a skinny kid needing to beef up to it now being his passion, Jack tells us his own goals, gym pet peeves and what his cheat day looks like.
