Drive Fitness will be introducing 'The Team' with a bit of information about their interests, training goals and motivation for entering the fitness industry as a personal trainer. We will introduce a different trainer each month starting with Theo.
Theo Papamanolis is the latest trainer to join the Drive Fitness team. Based at the new Seven Hills studio, Theo has over 10 years of personal experience in resistance and cardio training. His personal fitness goals are muscle gain and aerobic fitness. Some of the sports Theo enjoys include swimming, tennis and squash, with more adventurous activities including indoor rock-climbing and surfing. That’s not to say he’s an expert – standing up on the board is still a massive achievement!
Prior to Theo’s time as a personal trainer, he completed a Bachelor of Business at QUT and spent three and a half years working within a marketing role at one of Australia’s largest takeaway food franchises. It was there that Theo fully realised the challenges facing everyday people in terms of achieving a healthy work-life balance. The sedentary nature of working in front of a computer all day, combined with frequent twelve-hour work days, tempting foods from numerous meetings and morning teas, as well as a lack of perceived mental and physical energy at the end of the day had the ability to take its toll and act as barriers to his fitness goals. However, Theo made fitness his priority and found time – every lunch break – to fit in his workout.
It is now Theo’s goal to help others break through the perceived barriers and achieve their own fitness goals. Specialising in general weight loss and overall aerobic fitness, Theo likes to keep workouts fun yet challenging, with a combination of resistance and cardio exercises and a specific interest in boxing.
