PERSONAL TRAINING  GEELONG REGION 

Hi! I'm Jim Leppik. I am a Geelong Region Personal Trainer. I operate "James Fitness Geelong

Mobile Personal Training " and service all Geelong areas. Very glad to meet you.

ABOUT ME

I am a qualified Exercise Physiologist having attained a Masters Degree at Victoria University in

2005. I am also a qualified Pilates Instructor, qualified Swiss Ball Instructor, qualifed Remedial

and Sports Massage Therapist together as attaining a Certificate of Rehabilitation.

I have been personal training now for 13 years working with a large variety of different

clients in that time. I work with clients of all ages and abilities, young and old, beginners to

the fit, established clients. I am very proficient in all forms of personal training. One-on-one

personalised training sessions can be designed and implemented for rehabilitation and functional

core stability, improved general and  aerobic fitness, increased physical strength, weight loss,

depending on what goals the client would like prioritised. Versatility is a real strong point. I bring

a real multitude of different, unique skills and ideas help enable my clients to advance to the

next level.

You can read further about my clients under "My Personal Training Clients" on Page 2.

My greatest strength as Personal Trainer is my outstanding knowledge of the human body, how it

functions but, more importantly, how and why it dysfunctions or doesn't function as it should.

Those dysfunctions cause injury or impaired physical performance due to fitness/fatigue. As seen

above and below I have the skills and background to properly rectify those dysfunctions with a

highly specific exercise routine to suit your needs.Those needs may range from better coping with

general, everyday activities through, to recovery from injury, to improved physical performance.

For many years I have been coach of race walkers from basic grass roots to a very high level,

including elite. I have written/still writing training programs for national champions and

medalists from here in Australia, to the USA, New Zealand, England, Hungary and Lithuania. I've

had my 5th racewalker not long ago selected to represent their country in the last 2 years, and

that's from 5 separate country's too, Australia, Lithuania, Hungary, New Zealand and the USA.

Those events two World Cups, one European championship, two European Cups, three Pan

American Racewalking Cups, A Pan American Championship and now the World Track and Field

Championships (see below). This includes Kelly Ruudick making the team for the World Track and

Field Championships team in Beijing at age 42 the oldest female Australian athlete ever to be

selected for the World Championships. I also help other racewalkers from various countries with

many aspects of their training both on and off the track. That includes advice with their training

programs, core stability, muscle strength and activation as well as correcting muscle imbalance

and biomechanical gait. 

I was interviewed in 2015 on the American racewalking site www.racewalk.com. The link

can be found here http://www.racewalk.com/Interviews/2013_JimLeppik.asp.

You can read more about my walkers under "My Racewalkers" on pages 5-7.

Besides being qualified to Personal Train and Coach as well as an Exercise Physiologist, I am also a

qualified Massage Therapist. In the past 18 years my clientele have included Olympic and

Commonwealth Games athletes. I am also a qualified Mat Pilates Instructor, Swiss Ball Instructor,
