This podcast had me hitting the playground from the first 20 second Tabata countdown. Justin Ashley founder and CEO of Fitness Playground joins me to share how the ex PE teacher went from building boot camps to launching the mother of all gyms in Sydney. Wellness Playground. A gym like no other in the world, 6 group training areas, 70 staff and aneye watering $5 million fit out cost, wellness playground is revolutionising the way we improve our health and wellness globally! Justin and I chew the obesity epidemic on how his business aims to inspire change rather than making humans feel guilty for their lifestyle choices. We share the journey Justin has paved over the past 20 years, from employee of sales/operations in one of the biggest gym conglomerates to delivering outdoor boot camps outside and conceptualising Fitness Playground. Justin realised their was a gap in the market, a community and program where fitness needed to be challenging yet fun. Where staff needed to be professional as well as motivational and engaging, hence Fitness Playground was born. Justin’s passion has also extended into the educational arena, soon to launch their own Registered Training Organisation where they can empower others to follow their dreams of becoming a fitness professional, one that inspires change and helps build a healthier and happier community! www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010088190763
