MEET COACH MITCH

What made you get into the Fitness Industry?

I started going to the gym as a way to get bigger, but fell in love with the process and the progression I saw. I’ve always been into sport, and I soon found that the gym is the best way to supplement any sport when it comes to improving performance and reducing injury risk. I figured if I love it so much, why not do it for a job and help others do the same? 4 years on and I’m still loving it, and intend to stay in the industry for life!

Whats your favourite session to take?

Strength, with HIIT a close second. I believe strength training is pivotal for everyone - whether it be to gain muscle mass, rehabilitate injury or strengthen foundation movements to improve daily life activities. I really enjoy taking a new person through movements such as deadlifts, RDL’s and shoulder press as I think they have the greatest movement translation into everyday life; such as picking up boxes, moving furniture or lifting your child above your head. If I can get people to do these movements effectively and safely, that’s the best trade-off.
