Family is everything, spending time with my wife and kids is my number 1 priority, as a family we keep as active as we can, whether it’s a bike ride, walk or heading to the beach. I love a Craft beer( balance remember), watching footy and early nights.

INTEREST OUTSIDE OF RHINO?
Outside of rhino I train and play rugby league. It is an aspiration of mine to play in the NRL, so outside of work I am working towards one day ticking off that goal. When I’m not working or training, I also love spending time with family.

Vanessa veleska – personal trainer
Why do you love the fitness industry?
Setting and achieving fitness goals are in ones’s hands. However, these are not always easy to achieve alone. I absolutely love the feeling of knowing I’ve helped make a change to someones life, whether it be physically or mentally. I try and teach people to never doubt themselves and let fear creep in, but learn to get comfortable in being uncomfortable while trusting the process.
Best Quote that resonates with you most
“be stronger than your strongest excuse”.
Favourite sport?
Crossfit.
Interest outside of Rhino?
A combination of cross fit, coffee, chocolate, napping and a day/night out with friends are a few of my favourite things to do. However, family is the most important thing above everything.
