We're back after a month and a bit off - and what better way to kick it off then with an interview with health and fitness expert Luke Granger. 

Granger has had over 17 years experience in the fitness industry and is currently the coordinator of all Unigym centres across the University of Tasmania. We have a very quick chat about his thoughts on how covid-19 may impact the industry, and why he became so passionate about his choice of work.

It’s Orientation Week at the University of Tasmania, so we chatted with a number of key athletes and staff about the sport department.
