I’m a Paramedic by trade but currently lecturing, teaching paramedicine students.
Favourite Fortitude Moment?
Favorite fortitude moment is competing in the comp against Remmy Gym.
Have you experienced any other unexpected changes after joining Fortitude?
Since joining fortitude I’ve rediscovered my passion for fitness. The workouts and the people help to drive me. I love showing up and socializing then leaving feeling thrashed. I push myself hard because I know everyone else is doing the same (and I want to beat them).
What is your favorite thing to do outside Fortitude?
My favorite things to do outside of fortitude are reading and surfing.
Any advice for someone just starting?
Advice would be to be friendly and social, absorb as much as you can from others and don’t be scared to try new things.
