How long have you been doing BT?
Full time with Haydn has been for about 44 weeks now. I started with him probably about 2 years ago but didn't really get into it and got injured a bit. I dropped out, then I came back and when I did I worked a lot harder at it.

Why did you start?
Good question. Well I thought "I'm 36 now" and I see a lot of guys here (Royal Melbourne Golf Course) who are unfit, having the roof hanging over the toolshed, so to speak. I just thought it was time to get fitter. I'd seen Haydn around and he always looked really cut and mean so I just thought it was time to get into it, get motivated.

I approached Haydn to train me one day when he was hitting some balls on the practise fairway. I guess it's like most people who'd always wanted to get into it and have talked to him, then left it for 3 weeks, and then mention it again but never do anything about it. So I decided to make a commitment to finally go.

Why do you think you started and stopped a couple of times before finally committing to training 100%?
Well, I never really was a gym person to start with. My wife once signed me up for a gym membership and I didn't go once in the whole year. But once I went with him and started to get into it, I really started to appreciate all the stuff we did.
