Who is Chris?
Let’s not get philosophical…..here are the facts!
D.O.B. - 4th May 1980
Height - 192cm
Weight - 92.6kg (at time of creating this site 23 June 2008)
Occupation - Personal Trainer with Chisel Fitness
Background - Played and participated in a heap of sport as a young kid and even managed to do a little representative stuff in sports that don’t really matter (volleyball and basketball). As an adult I had a crack at rugby league (big lanky thing….all arms and legs!!), rugby union and general health and fitness.
After a couple of beers at the races in 2002 I made a $200 bet with a mate that I was going to complete the Gold Coast Half Marathon and to win the cash I agreed to do it in 45 minutes (who knew a half marathon was actually 21.1km long???) After renegotiating (new time of 2.05), and a small amount of training I completed the race in 2hours and 1 minute….collecting the cash with 4 minutes to spare.
This was just the start…..
Fast forward a little bit and I spent almost 3 years living in London with the beautiful Joanne and whilst there began working in gyms and personal training. Tubes to work got a bit smelly and dirty, so I decided to take up riding a bike, despite believing for many years that men who did such a thing are a bit ‘lemon and herb’.
Now I am settled back in Australia, about to marry Joanne (Aug 2 2008), I run without a doubt the best personal training business on the Gold Coast, and have decided to have a crack at the toughest endurance event of them all - IRONMAN.
