Leigh brings nearly two decades of experience in the health, fitness, and performance industry to Activ8. With a career spanning personal training, athletic performance, and high-performance sport, Leigh is passionate about helping people improve their health, build confidence, and achieve meaningful results through evidence-based exercise.

Leigh’s journey in the industry began in 2006, when he first worked alongside Activ8 founder Trent Carruthers at Fitness First Sylvania. Since then, he has developed extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, from everyday individuals looking to improve their health and fitness to athletes striving to optimise performance.

Alongside his work in the fitness industry, Leigh has spent more than a decade working in sport and performance settings, developing a strong understanding of strength and conditioning, athletic development, and the science behind human performance. He is currently completing a Master of High Performance Sport by Research, further strengthening his commitment to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning.

As a father of two young children, Leigh understands the challenges of balancing health, fitness, family, and life’s many demands. His approachable nature, practical mindset, and ability to connect with people make him a valued member of the Activ8 team.

Leigh is passionate about creating a supportive environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, learning new skills, and building confidence in their own abilities. Whether you’re new to exercise or looking to take your training to the next level, he’s always happy to stop for a chat and help point you in the right direction.
