Phil Reeks (PJ)

“It’s my job at Ignite to do whatever I can to ensure our clients are using Ignite and getting the great results that everyone wants. There’s nothing better than seeing how happy and proud a client is when they get great results after they commit to healthy eating and consistent training. It’s a satisfying feeling to be a part of a team that has such a positive impact on people lives.  I graduated from Health and Sports Science in 2004 as an Exercise Physiologist.  Initially I worked in occupational rehabilitation, but got tired of working with unmotivated workers compensation clients.  I found Ignite at the end of 2006 and I’m still here, largely because of the positive, friendly atmosphere at Ignite created by both my colleagues and the clients.

I love training clients and myself using the CrossFit approach as it draws from such a broad range of skills from so many different area’s. I’ve developed as a trainer and an athlete by learning and teaching movements from gymnastics, powerlifting, olympic weight lifting and strongman just to name a few. I don’t feel this approach could ever get boring and I spend a lot of my spare time researching and learning more and more about the best ways to develop the athletic abilities of myself and our clients.

Outside of Ignite and CrosffFit I love surfing on my Mini Mal, bodyboarding, spending time at the beach, hiking and camping, bushwalking, live music, watching (Swans in the AFL, Sharks in the league and Australian Cricket team) and playing sport, reading and learning about just about anything, (I wish there were more hours in the day) as well as spending time with my partner friends and family.”
