-Diploma Public Safety
-Cert III and IV Fitness
-First Aid/CPR
I have been involved in fitness and health my whole life, starting with semi-professional football in country Victoria. From here I developed my passion becoming a qualified Personal Trainer and obtaining Master Trainer status. After running my own successful Personal Training business west of Melbourne and working in Genesis Fitness Club, I was recruited as Assistant Manager of Jetts, Melton where I worked until I moved to Byron Bay with my family. While in Byron Bay, I studied a Diploma of Sports Development and continued my journey into the fitness industry. Now I have the opportunity to put my experience and passion into practice. I look forward to getting to know all our members and working hard to improve Totally Fit Gym!
-Cert IV Business Administration
Although my experience in the fitness industry is limited, I have vast experience working reception and administration duties through a variety of businesses. I have always kept myself fit and enjoy a gym environment and now I have the opportunity to meet and inspire young mothers like me to get back into the gym, work hard and enjoy the results. I have recently completed my Cert IV in business admin and I am looking forward to working closely with Kieran and our wonderful Personal Trainers to keep Totally Fit Gym Wallan’s premier gym.
My name is Thomas and I have an amazing opportunity to be a new Personal Trainer at Totally Fit. Who knows, I could be training you next?! Here’s a little bit about myself and why I got into fitness and personal training. My full name is Thomas O’Dwyer-Richards, I am 19 years of age and health and fitness is my passion. I am a fully qualified PT and I am also studying in Nutrition.
I started to get into health and fitness when I found out I got glandular fever when I was 14. My throat was closing up due to the sinus swelling and I was sent to hospital for 2 nights. It was then followed by 8 weeks off of School, 3 months of no physical activity, then limited School Basketball. In the holidays I got into working out, lost weight, got fit, I was working out 3 times a week, 3 hours per session. School came back, I stopped, put the weight back on plus more, I developed more self esteem issues and depression. I again turned to health and fitness as a way to increase my confidence and wellness.
It is fair to say that I have been through a roller coaster of emotions, but fitness has been my constant and now I want to show others how exercise and training can change your life, not just physically but mentally as well.
I now use exercise and nutrition to be HAPPY, to be a BETTER me. I am passionate about health and fitness, and want to share my passion with you. I continue to learn and study the science of exercise and nutrition and like to keep up to date with cutting edge training techniques. I look forward to beeingt able to help you achieve your own unique training goals.
Let me know if anything needs changing.
Thank you.
Regards,
Thomas at Revamp Personal Training.

After years spent in a sedentary job as a graphic and web designer and then the birth of my son, I found myself to be overweight and miserable. After finding the courage to walk into a gym for the first time, at the age of 25, I was able to work hard, improving my fitness, diet and mental health and managed to lose a massive 30kg. With this newfound dedication to my personal health and fitness came a love and passion for the fitness industry and a desire to help others achieve their own personal goals.
