Educator
Coming from a sales and marketing background, Adam decided in 2004 that he needed a change. After taking the advice of “always involve yourself with a career that you are passionate about,” he decided to become a personal trainer. Adam lived and breathed sports and found himself at the gym 6 days a week so it made sense to follow this path.
After completing a certificate 3, certificate 4 and a Diploma in Fitness, he found himself working in the industry. Adam took it upon himself to experience every aspect he could: working front of desk, gym floor, writing programs, personal training, teaching classes ( Freestyle, Les Mills, Aqua ). He progressed to running his own business and grew an Outdoor/Boot camp business, which he eventually sold and took on a Gym management role.
During this time, Adam became a presenter/facilitator for Thump Boxing. Finally in 2013, after being with Thump as a Senior Presenter, Adam saw an opportunity arose, where he purchased Thump Boxing.
