Hello! It's your boy Leo here!
It took me a good-long-while to decide to post this.
I realised I've never actually - really promoted my services and why I did it in the first place. So here it goes:
I first started my Fitness endeavour with learning to program because I love the Methodologies and Process involved in getting strong and being lean. But I have always thought to myself, can I actually coach myself to be strong, healthy and look good naked while being functional at the same time?
I spent months and years trying and experimenting stuff, some worked but some just didn't cut at all. Then I discovered Powerlifting where I got hooked straight away. After around 4 to 6 months of training and having my mates told me I should compete, I finally stepped on the platform of a Powerlifting meet. Little did I know, that was the first step that would one day lead me to represent Australia at World Championships in 2019.
I recently had a thought about the people around me and my close mates.
- What if, they actually wanted to get a better physique / to perform better / to get to know about exercise?
- What if, they were like me before? They had doubts but have nowhere to go to?
- What if, they actually wanted to try but was never really ready?
The list goes on but all I wanted to was to contribute on the betterment of the society.
We know that COVID-19 has affected everyone in the world and most people including myself and my friends couldn't really move outside or do anything, I simply could not fathom how debilitating that is physically and mentally. While it is still happening, I believe that this pandemic will end soon and all of us will have a new normal.

Ok so, as we know October is actually: mental health awareness month. Lately, I have seen so many people promote mental health here and there via social media but if you realise something, its that it doesn't actually do anything significant.

> Hold up, WHAT do you mean? <
Let's draw a line between sympathy and empathy. Both of them are virtuous in nature. But, which one has more impact? I would say the latter.
> HOW are you going to do this? <
Simple, I am here to tell you that I will be your personal online coach. Sound like a dude full of himself trying to promote his services aye? Don't worry I will coach you for a period of up to 4 weeks and you can pay me whatever you want. What happens next is entirely up to you!
> WHY are you doing this? <
A year ago today, I was at my lowest because life presented me something that contradicted my beliefs and principles. I had no one beside me but I was fortunate to crawl back up after losing the job I always wanted but still be here today. I just want to reach out and make people be aware of their own well being / just get to know themselves better. I want to make 2021 a better year for all of us and the earlier I do it the better.
