Richard has been working in the fitness industry for over 20 years. At just 17 years of age he bought Australia’s First Private Fitness Studio in Neutral Bay in Sydney and went on to work on cruise ships as a personal trainer, becoming #1 in sales during his time travelling. 

He along with his wife Joey published a bestselling kids health book titled ‘Please Mum, Don’t Supersize me.’ And founded and sold one of Australia’s largest corporate wellness companies.

  • Australia’s first private fitness studio
  • One of Australia’s largest and leading nationwide health and wellness companies
  • The largest personal training video directory in Australia
  • The first fitness marketing company to be named by Fitness Australia as their preferred partner for fitness professional.
