Simon is a Elwood personal trainer. I was involved in speed skating for around ten years and now continue to take part as a form of recreation. Took up resistance training in my teens and found it beneficial to my speed skating.

Was in the military for a brief time as an air force recruit in the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force). Fitness played a huge part in recruit training.

My training style is greatly influenced by my time in the air force and my own sporting background of speed skating.
The speed skating side of me has given me a good background in various forms of cardio training. Such as Interval, time trials, endurance and sprints.

Most modern day clients have such busy lifestyles that their time is important to them, it is therefore vital that any training reflects this by being carried out in an efficient and productive manner. Training for a multi-discipline sport (triathlons) has taught me to focus on the current session, thinking of what needs to be achieved.
