Hello, I’m David Blair       

My greatest passion is dancing Tango. I generally travel to at least one international festival each year to meet and dance with new people. I also enjoy helping others to enjoy the beauty of Tango through lessons that I provide. I also love to travel, and whether it is to dance Tango or ski in various parts of the world, or just to experience a different culture, it is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to have this opportunity.  Maintaining an active lifestyle is important to me, so when I am not dancing or skiing, I will often be running or mountain bike riding.

I believe my main purpose is to help people create their best quality of life possible. Whether that is in helping to gain optimal performance from their body (often via weight loss), improved relaxation (less stress), or helping to find their true passion and purpose in life, I will do whatever I can to help.

I am always pursuing growth and knowledge whether it is from reading, spending time with mentors, observing others or just getting out there and experiencing and doing!

My skills are in the areas of:

– Weight loss
– Coaching people to live their best life
– Running training
– Dance Teaching

Results I’ve gained with clients include:  

– Coaching players (basketball) to go on to play internationally as well as represent Australia
– Coaching and training numerous clients to transform their body’s to allow them to live a better quality of life
– Helping people to run (when they never thought they would or could) everything from 5 km to marathon events
– Helping people find the beauty in dance and to experience all that dance has to offer
– Training clients to compete in Masters Games.

My favourite exercises include:   

– Running
– Mountain bike riding
– Dead Lifts
– Chin ups

I believe life is not about how many breaths you take, but rather how many moments take your breath away. Life is not about how you look but rather the quality with which you live in all aspects of your life. It is everything from the food that you eat and the frequency and intensity of activity in your life to who you spend time with and how ‘in touch’ you are with your own needs and wants.

PEK LEES

Hello, I’m Pek Lees 

I’m into:
The simple life; training, eating, sleeping and relaxing. I love playing and watching sports – Rugby Union, Olympic weightlifting, Muay Thai/Boxing and most ball/contact sports.

I took up Olympic lifting this year and hope to compete in State and Nationals next year.

I also decided to take up surfing this year and hope to have my own board and get past the white wash by the end of summer!

My skills are in the areas of:  
Strength and Conditioning. I have a Level 1 ASCA Strength and Conditioning coaching certification and hope to complete a degree in Exercise or Sports Science and Level 2 Strength & Conditioning certification in the next 5 years.

I believe that with a properly structured periodized program, clean eating and the will to train 4-6 times a week, you’ll reach any physical goal you set yourself.

Results I’ve gained with clients include: 
Helping a 50+ year old lady complete her best half marathon time. We managed to lose 14kg of body fat and strengthened her from being barely able to lunge, to box squatting and deadlifting!

Almost all of my clients are now able to deadlift and squat their body weight and over.

One of my first clients was unable to complete one chin up or body dip when he started with me. With consistent strength training, he is now able to do 10+ body weight chins and dips, and has moved onto weighted chins! He has also dropped 5kg in fat as an added bonus.

Another client has now dropped 63.5mm (8.5% body fat) and is fitting into the jeans she wore when she first came to Australia!

My favourite exercises include: 
Squats (full depth!), deadlifts/clean or snatch grip pulls, cleans, jerks, snatches, push press and chin ups.

My personal philosophy is:   
My training philosophy is basic and heavy. Lift as often as you can, as heavy as you can. The 3-5 program sums this up nicely;
3-5 training sessions a week
3-5 exercises per session
3-5 sets per exercise
3-5 reps per set
3-5 minutes rest between sets
Deload and test every 3-5 weeks.
Simple.

My personal philosophy is to live a simple but colourful life. Train, eat, sleep, repeat. Enjoy yourself. Have fun, as long as what you’re doing isn’t hurting anyone.

As Bruce Lee once said, “The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering”

So get out there, and do the things you’ve always wanted to do!
