NAMASTE

My passion for Yoga began after suffering a ACL tear and a dislocated knee. After having surgery and being told by doctors that there would be an 18 month recovery period I started practicing dynamic yoga and within 3 months my knee was stronger than it was before the injury. Seeing these improvements in myself has motivated and fuelled me to pursue helping other people rehabilitate injuries and achieve their own ultimate goals, both physical and spiritual.
My main interests include advanced calisthenics training and progression;
both personally and teaching others. Yoga and meditation practice,
outdoor fitness and outdoor survival skills and natural medicines.
I have worked in the US and the UK, originally starting in the US as an outdoor education and primitive survival instructor at summer camps, before travelling over 30 states and learning valuable yoga and meditation skills from Native Americans. This is where my love of yoga really grew.
I spent the next 13 years working as a personal trainer, yoga teacher and breath-work coach. Through experience, I have come to understand the intertwining relationship between the mind, body and spirit.
After building and establishing Yoga classes in England over the past 2 years I decided to continue my travels which brought me here to New Zealand.
When I moved here in 2015, I began working at physiotherapy centre in Northcote called
Flexa Clinic. Over the years here I have worked at Flexa Clinic in exercise rehabilitation,
breath-work and yoga for a range of clients, from professional athletes and celebrities
to kids and all the way to my oldest client at 102 years old!
I've also worked in boxing and MMA gyms most of my personal training career. Since coming to New Zealand, I've worked for Jason Suttie at Elite Thai Kickboxing for 3 years and Dan Hooker at Combat Academy for 7 years. Now, I'm at City Kickboxing.
In 2021 I opened a business called the Holistic Hub, focused
on Holistic wellness workshops and classes.
After spending a number of years in the spiritual space (yoga, meditation, plant medicines)
alongside being in the MMA world I feel I have found a balance between the Yin and Yang.

TESTIMONIALS
Since hiring Brad as my trainer I soon saw a huge increase in my strength, stamina and physical ability.
Brad took the time to explain everything thoroughly and set me challenging but achievable goals. He has helped
give me the motivation and confidence to push myself further.
I feel I have really benefited from working with Brad and would not have progressed as far in such a short time without him.
I would thoroughly recommendBrad’s services to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.
