On the tools.
In your corner.

A tradie.
A commitment to training.

I’m a carpenter, a former personal trainer and the person behind Forged By Yakka.

I know what it’s like to work a physically demanding job and still want to put time into yourself. Building muscle, getting stronger and feeling good matter—but so does having the energy for work and a life outside it.

Training has been a big part of my life. I hold Certificates III and IV in Fitness, and I want to share what I’ve learned in a way that’s practical for people on the tools.

Working in the trades can be physically brutal. After a hard day on the tools, training has to account for the work your body has already done. That’s why I’ve drawn on more than 12 years of training and the knowledge I’ve gained to build the Forged By Yakka program: a system designed to help tradies train, make gains and look after themselves alongside the demands of a physical job. A clear direction, consistent effort and respect for recovery.

You invest in your tools and your trade. Your mind and body deserve that same commitment.
