Mark McGaw

In 1995 I completed the only Fitness Trainer course in Australia after completing my Professional Football and Gladiator career. I wanted to keep fit and start a career in Fitness. Around that time, former Mr Australia Paul Graham invited me to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Body Building Show in the USA. One of my goals was to complete a USA based fitness course. I met the Marketing director of a Large provider of fitness courses in the USA. He proceeded to give me the course, which was a distance learning approach. I was amazed at the course information and could not understand why this information was not in Australia. I then proceeded to obtain the rights to the course in Aussie for distribution and at the same time, introduce distance learning in Australia. The text was created by Dr Fred Hatfield PHD, who broke over 30 world records he also became my mentor.

It has always been a passion to educate people with the latest research and information in a school setting, disseminates information in a practical setting, and advise enthusiasts and general people looking after their well being. After 25 years training people in fitness I still love it.
