Functional Training Institute - Alumni

Chris Duncan

I have worked in the fitness industry since 2003 and have spent more than two decades helping people improve their health, fitness and quality of life. Throughout my career I have worked as a Personal Trainer, Business Coach, Mentor and Educator, supporting both clients and fitness professionals to achieve meaningful and sustainable results. My experience spans body composition, strength training, behaviour change, habit development and long-term health improvement. In addition to working directly with clients, I currently mentor and coach personal trainers across Australia, helping them develop successful and sustainable businesses within the fitness industry. I believe great coaching goes beyond exercise programs and focuses on creating practical solutions that people can maintain for life.

Bradley Hodgetts

I'm Brad, a certified Personal Trainer with over 15 years of experience in the industry and the founder of JOLT Fitness. I was drawn to the fitness industry after completing ten years of service in the Australian Army as an Infantry soldier. It was my experience in the army that led me to create the JOLT Fitness community in 2009, based on an inclusive, fun, respectful and positive family environment. I fell in love with fitness and especially lifting weights after it changed my physical and mental health in 2005. From being fit in the army to then putting on a lot of weight due to injuries, lifting weights brought me not just a change of body but a respect for myself and the process of health and what it can bring to your life. I have a burning desire and passion for helping people of all ages discover the power of exercise, especially Strength Training and Fitness Boxing, to make a change for a better quality of life.

Maxine Johnson

I am a big believer that everyone has the ability to be the best that they possibly can be. I have experienced how hard to Health and Fitness journey can be, ( having been on that journey myself) and its very daunting for some to start training with someone. I like to encourage clients to believe in themselves and their own abilities, with them knowing I will be there with them, believing in them too. I like to see clients grow within themselves, and amaze themselves over something I knew they were capable of all along, especially if they step outside there comfort zone.
