Roddy

Growing up, Roddy has always been involved with some form of physical fitness. His spare time was consumed by playing a number of different sports including basketball, volleyball, touch rugby, indoor cricket (Canterbury Country Rep), cricket (Canterbury Rep), and even ten-pin bowling (Canterbury Rep).

In 2006 Roddy became a qualified Personal Trainer. He worked as a fitness consultant for before progressing on and starting his own Personal Training business called Raise The Bar Solutions. He is now a successful PT, working at two of Christchurchs leading corporate health clubs - 12 Show Place & The Clarendon Health Club. He does believe however, that being fit shouldn't just be limited to those that can afford a gym membership, which is why he has taken the skills he has learned in a gym environment and brought them outdoors. Roddy has been a part of the Get Me Fit team as a senior lead instructor since 2007 and enjoys every aspect of it.

"Outdoor training provides a whole new set of challenges which not only test me, but my clients as well. You need to think outside the square and be innovate with what you do, and that is sure to keep everyone on their toes!!"

He believes that there are 3 things each training session must have. It needs to be Challenging, Rewarding and Fun.
