Mana Toa Fitness

I am a stay at home Dad with 3 children aged between 11 and 5. Now that they are all at school, I have decided to seize the opportunity to gain the knowledge and qualifications required to begin a career in the fitness industry. My passions are my family, Muay Thai, Taekwon-Do and being in and around the sea.

My ultimate goal is to run a successful Business - Mana Toa Fitness. Along side Personal Training Sessions, Circuit Training and group sessions I also have 2 specialised Programmes that I would like to promote as they are close to my heart.

The first is a programme tailored to men and women of Northland that are battling with their weight. Once weighing in at over 200kg myself, I can understand their mind set when it comes to health, fitness, training and the mental obstacles they face. I want to give them the tools and confidence to conquer and maintain their goals.

I also want to run Street Awareness and Self Defense classes for children. This will teach them how to identify and prevent potential threatening situations, and be able to defend themselves in these real life scenarios should they ever need to.

To enable me to have the required skills and knowledge to implement these programmes, I have chosen to study through Fit College (http://www.fitcollege.co.nz/). The Online course gives me the ability to study around my day to day life, training and our children.
