About me

Actually, It's not about me, it's about YOU. I want to get to know you, and learn how I can help you, no matter what your current situation. So why not send me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself, why you are on my website reading this, and what you hope to achieve.

 

Okay, so I guess I should introduce myself first....Hi, I'm Francois

​

I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa.  Physical activity was a big part of my life, and I was always playing  some sport. Be it Athletics, Tennis, Rugby, Squash. I even competed in our state team in Table Tennis. At the age of 18, I decided it was time to branch out and travel the world.  I planned to explore Europe for at least 6 months. Four years later I finally made it back to South Africa.

I didn’t stay long though, and soon left to continue my intercontinental adventures.  Another 4 years went by, and I also worked on a cruise ship as a waiter before deciding to move to Australia.

  

I have had many career changes from working in the mines in South Australia, bartending in Scotland and doing I.T. support work in Hobart.  After slowly losing my will to live, sitting at a desk working behind a computer screen, I decided to take action and change my situation. I obtained my level IV fitness qualification. I’ve finally found a career I love! Most recently I have taken up the sport of olympic weightlifting and obtained my qualification as a certified strength and weightlifting coach.  I have also participated in several competitions, gaining several Tasmanian records for my weight and age class in weightlifting and also competed in a few Crossfit competitions, where I  placed 3rd in the Crossfit Levitate Tasmania partner competition.

 

I am married, and we have 4 beautiful children. I know what it's like to have a busy lifestyle, and the importance of making time for yourself in a hectic day/week/month.

 

 So what do I do? I help people, just like you, every day to do the things they think is not possible. With the guidance from an experienced and qualified personal trainer you will learn to form good and lasting habits, make your body (and mind) stronger, be fitter and healthier and so much more! 

​

I look forward to meeting with you and working out how we, together, can get you to reach your goals! Whatever they may be.
