Victor started his boxing career at an incredibly young age, competing professionally at the age of 18. With a decade of professional experience behind him, Victor knows the value of dedication and persistence, and applies those qualities to everything he does. They say that less is more, but growing up Victor would spend hundreds of hours perfecting his craft!
“Growing up I have always loved fighting … I had a passion for it, so I decided to go pro and make it my profession in life. Since moving to Ballarat, I love waking up each morning and going for a run around the Lake to start my day, before going to my second home, the gym. Being healthy and fit is so much fun, it gives me a rush of adrenaline every time I train, and so I just want to share that happiness with the people of Ballarat and Geelong.”
Victor is a certified gym instructor with 10+ years of training experience and multiple world titles to his name.
Emigrating from Scotland in November 2019 with his wife and 2 sons, Alan brings over 20 years of knowledge and a wealth of instructional experience from the Military and the Education sector in Scotland as a physical trainer.

I found passion in Fitness about 10 years ago as mentally I was struggling and exercise changed my vision about life, especially when I started going to the gym. However, I never considered that as an opportunity for personal and professional growth till COVID hit and lockdowns came with it, leaving people very fragile and with more mental health problems than ever! Before that, I knew that I needed to help others and transmit my positivity and enthusiasm but I could not find anything I was passionate about and/or gave me satisfaction. Then I realised the best option was right in front of me, that option that actually makes me happy and proud of, something that I would not consider as a job. I’ve worked for the past three years with docen of members and helped them to achieve fitness goals, and finding true
happiness through a holistic approach.
