Wesley Wood

I have a very extensive background of sports, health and fitness. I am currently a fitness manager in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. For the last two years in Canada, i have excelled in personal training, group training, spinning classes, resistance circuit classes and boot camps. I have also done numerous segments on cable tv shows and sports radio. In Australia i played and competed in many sports including professional basketball, boxing, MMA, cross country running, triathlons, BMX, downhill mountain biking, rugby football and cricket. Always having that drive to do the best I possibly can, I pursued a career within the Australian Army Infantry Corps. I enlisted for eights years and over that time I reached the rank of corporal. In 2006 I deployed to Iraq and commanded soldiers conducting security operations with British forces. Whilst my time there I was involved in combat numerous times and was awarded a Distinguish Service Medal for courage and leadership in action. I was a company fitness leader within my battalion where I maintained daily fitness of the soldiers and instructed unarmed combat training. I have extended knowledge of the importance of nutrition and body fat management, and the types of foods needed for survival and performance. After discharging from the army I needed a career that would challenge me physically and employ my leadership abilities. Personal training has given me this opportunity.  I specialize in athletes who need to better their performance by giving them the cutting edge as well as anyone wishing to lose weight, tone up or simply stay fit and healthy.
