Onfit Training College

Hi, my name is Gus Strangis

I am 43 years young, married with two beautiful daughters ages 11 & 12. 

I have been involved in the bodybuilding/fitness industry for the past 20 years now. I’ve competed at the highest level in Australia at the I.N.B.A. Natural Championships in 1997.  I achieved 1st in the Victorian Championships’ and 2nd in the Australian Championships’ titles. I continued training and keeping fit for the next 12 years and then with the encouragement and support from my family especially my daughters who wanted to see their dad compete on stage – I decided to compete again. I finished  3rd  in the Victorian Championships’ &  4th  in the I.N.B.F Natural Australian Championships’ in 2009.

As you can probably tell I’m very passionate about the whole fitness lifestyle and get great satisfaction in assisting people living a healthier lifestyle, feeling better about themselves and achieving their goals whatever they may be.

I am currently helping out with the U/12 & U/14 girls Regional Basketball Teams that my daughters play with, we organise a 60-90 minutes training session once a week which includes running, sprints, circuit training and resistance training.  Both the coaches and parents have commented about the improvements they have seen with these girls in the past 6 months.  It’s phenomenal the way they have improved their fitness, speed, agility and discipline which makes me feel very proud to be involved.

I have now decided to start teaching at a professional level, therefore enrolled at the ‘Onfit Training College’ to do Certificates 3 and 4 to enable me to achieve my goals to be a Fitness Instructor/Personal Trainer. I am currently studying the course online and have found it to be very  informative , descriptive, self explanatory and easy step by step instructions to follow for each module.

I would like to thank all the staff at ‘Onfit’ for their assistance and eagerness to answer all my questions and queries that I had, and a very special thanks to Mark for all of his support and encouragement which helped me immensely towards achieving my accomplishments.

Many thanks to you all great job - Well Done!

Kind Regards,

The certificate 3 and 4 and Onfit was awesome. Such an amazing approach to learning as well as the incredible staff and other students in the class made is such a positive experience. I honestly wish it went for longer. Success and opportunities seem so achievable after the course with all the preparation and encouragement. I LOVED IT!!

The new and enthusiastic techniques have been encouraging and confidence building. I am extremely grateful to have been involved in this organisation for the many different ways of encouraging techniques and support. This is a fantastic organisation and the success and encouragement is addictive.

Most of the material was easy to understand. We were encouraged to ask or have it repeated if we had problems understanding it. All staff have been very approachable and supportive. I’m sure that with the skills I have gained and further experience I will be able to put what I have learnt into practice. Best face to face learning atmosphere I have ever experienced; LOVED IT! Can it go for longer? :-)
