WHAT ULTRA MEANS TO ME // Ultra is more than just an awesome place to train – it’s family. The crew are incredibly supportive, and all members share an enthusiastic and infectious drive that pushes me to be the very best I can be.
BEST ACHIEVEMENT AT ULTRA // Learning to successfully squat again pain free after a prolonged injury, thanks to Jake’s eye for detail and ability to pick up on ways to improve movement patterns. COVID has impacted the ability to compete again, but am looking forward to representing Ultra and smashing my current numbers when we are able to participate in competition again.
FAVOURITE HOBBY // I am an enthusiastic hobby baker with a tendency to feed people lots of sweet goodies!

OCCUPATION // Woolworths Team Member
WHAT ULTRA MEANS TO ME // Ultra means a lot to me. I’ve learned to push myself beyond my comfort zone, something that’s important both in the gym and in everyday life. Furthermore, it’s taught me to constantly strive for improvement not only as lifter but also as a person. Through Ultra’s tight-knit community, I’ve also made many friendships, which I value massively.
BEST ACHIEVEMENT AT ULTRA // Competing in first competition. It gave me taste of the powerlifting scene and gave me the drive to want to become the best power lifter I can be.
HOBBIES // I love travelling, watching the rugby league (GO MANLY!!!), and playing fifa.

WHAT ULTRA MEANS TO ME // Training at ultra and especially with Jake as my coach has probably been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It’s taught me so much about myself. It’s taught me how to work hard and push myself even when I don’t want to. And it’s made me 10 x stronger than I was before I started my journey, physically and mentally. I would highly recommend ultra to anybody looking to get stronger and be better!
BEST ACHIEVEMENT AT ULTRA // 200kg deadlift was a big milestone for me but I think my biggest achievement would be the last 3 or so years since I started training to where I am now! I’ve had my ups and downs with training (no pun intended) but I’ve put in the work and seen results and I’m proud of that! Can’t wait to see where I’m at after another 3 years.
HOBBIES // Eating. reading or listening to audio books, fishing, walking in the mountains with my fiancé and my son, relaxing as much as possible and drinking red wine (in moderation of course)

OCCUPATION // Events Manager
WHAT ULTRA MEANS TO ME // I have been with Ultra for a number of years and could not rate it high enough! I always felt self conscious and reserved about working out prior to joining, however at Ultra I have found the fitness and strength training empowering achieving things I never thought possible. Ultra has amazing coaches and a great culture, and I love how members encourage and support each other no matter what ability. If your looking for a great atmosphere, and a safe and supportive environment, then Ultra is the answer!
BEST ACHIEVEMENT AT ULTRA // 120kg deadlift! While this number has haunted me for a while, it was a great moment to see what I was capable of, now time to smash it!
FAVOURITE HOBBY // I would say reading, but these days I seem to collect more books then I read! I love being surrounded by the written word, I look for any opportunity to learn or get lost in a story.

WHAT ULTRA MEANS TO ME // If I could sum up Ultra in one word it would be FAMILY. I started out as the first Ultra member 6 years ago and I have watched the incredible Jake grow an amazing gym that I’m truly proud to not only call it “my gym” but my happy place. The energy and culture that you experience is one you’ll never forget. Jake along with the other coaches of Ultra have all helped me achieve some incredible, life changing goals which have transitioned into my personal life helping me become the person I am today. I will be forever grateful to be apart of Ultra.
BEST ACHIEVEMENT AT ULTRA // Over the years training at ultra I have lost 25kg and learned an incredible amount about my body and what it is capable of. Although I have encountered a few step backs here and there, each one has helped me come back stronger mentally and physically.
HOBBIES // I love the outdoors, the beach and country side. Spending quality time and creating memories in life with my family and people closest to me.
