Hi, I’m James Mac. My journey to MacFit began a long way back. As an adolescent I struggled to sit still and learn at school. I felt there were barriers in my way, that I couldn’t break through, I knew I had more to give but I was unable to for a long time. I carried this feeling into my work life, finding ways to avoid doing things I didn’t like.
My early twenties were my dark years, I felt alone, abandoned and defensive. I realised I was sabotaging myself and put my faith into the hands of a therapist. Together we worked through my patterns of behaviour and the emotions that were underlying them. At the time exercise was the only thing that made me feel good. I could see the connection between my mental health and my physical body.
I completed my Certificate 3 & 4 at the Australian Institute of Fitness and realised I had many unique strengths that set me apart from other coaches. With this perspective I knew that I wanted to help other people navigate learning and working with their own turbulence. From this realisation MacFit was born, it was more than just a gym, it was a place to build belief in yourself.
How are ya?
I’m Tom, I’m twenty-one years old, making me the youngest member of the MacFit team. However, I’m not new to MafFit. I’ve been training with James since the dark old days of COVID. But my association with him goes back to my dad,Luke, who is probably the OG of MacFit, having trained with James for almost a decade.
I have Cert III & IV in Fitness, with a passion for helping people improve their physical and mental strength. I mostly enjoy working with people who have little gym experience and encouraging them to grow.
I love my sport—basketball, soccer and footy—I almost made it to the professional soccer league in America. I enjoy hanging out with my mates and love having a chat.
G’day. My name’s Josh, and I’m twenty-four years old. I was introduced to James about two years ago, and we hit it off. Since then, James has made me a member of the MacFit team.
When I was eighteen, I joined the Australian Defence Force as a rifleman. During my time in the Army, I learned the importance of discipline and routine. Following that, I worked as a rigger in the Pilbara mines, where I observed people making poor lifestyle choices and whatnot. This compelled me to assess my own life and to consider what I was passionate about.
When I thought back to my high school years, my best mate, Adam, encouraged me to join him at the gym because I was unhappy with my weight and physical appearance. Exercise transformed my life then, and I realised it could transform it again. I obtained my Cert III & IV in Fitness with a vision of helping others achieve their own goals.
I’d love to assist you on your journey. Why don’t you come to the club and have a chat?
