Australian Trainers

JoshDunn · 04-12-2006, 02:33 AM

Was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of any Australian trainers that are known.

The fitness summit has gotten me think that surely there are things like that going on alittle closer to home. All our magazines use articles from the states (usually the best ie AC, and CB).

I heard Ian King is australian but now is based in the US so that kinda sucks.

Any names would be appriecated.

P.S our men's health website still has JP's tips for bigger triceps

Forgot to mention that even for our Biggest Loser they shipped over Bob and Jillian from the US to train our people. Now thats just sad australia.

yeah aside from Ian King I can't think of any specific names. don't you guys have a few websites or something to look up a name or two.

http://www.kingsports.net/mitchell/ that guy has been trained by Ian King under his KingSports company. maybe you could start there. good luck.

Josh - I know the Australians have a much more standarized certification program than we do, and the equivalent of a CSCS here is a Level IV trainer there (I think!?!). There will also be some CSCS's popping up over there. The point is, check with the certifying agency, and they should be able to tell you who is where, and what level they've reached. Good luck! E

Eric when i went throught the level 4 trainer site it just gave me a directory of gyms across the country.

I'm sure not everything we have over here is knocked off from the states.

Cheers guys
