Hi,
My name's Michael Ward I'm the owner & director of OWF Group Training. I've been in the fitness OWF Group Training began more by accident then a well set out plan. industry just over 15 years but OWF Group Training is coming up to celebrate it's 3rd birthday in August 2010.
I had returned home from spending just over 10 years living & working overseas on cruise ships to settle down in Brisbane & start up my own Personal Training business. As a way to gain clients for my newly formed mobile PT business I started conducting a Saturday morning group training class in a park just near where my sister lived in McDowall. It very quickly became obvious that my passion and therefore popularity as a trainer, was more focussed towards group training then one-on-one sessions. With what started as a single Saturday morning session, with 6 people on the 15th September 2007, has now grown into a successful, group training company servicing well over 250 clients, at 3 venues across 32 sessions. Covering everything from hardcore cardio to boxing to weight training in our circuit session and even including a designated abs, butts & thighs toning session.
The growth of OWF Group Training in such a short period of time can be directly attributed to the care, concern & passion shown by our trainers to each and every OWF member to truly help them achieve their health and fitness goals. Some might say that training in a group you would get a little lost in the crowd, but ask ANY of our current clients and I assure you the first thing they would say of what really stands out as the main reason why they keep coming back, and we still have clients from that very first day back in September '07 training with us, is that each time they attend a session they are made to feel as though they are the only person there.
Yes we are group training by name, but we are certainly personal training by nature.
With only the highest level of expertise and professionalism shown by our trainers it's no wonder OWF Group Training is leaving it's competition in it's wake and leading the industry with it's innovation. After being asked to design and implement the exercise programs for the Queensland Governments 'Find Your 30' campaign in June '09, and having both myself and Janelle featured on it's website, it's hard to go past OWF Group Training as Brisbane's #1 most trusted group fitness provider.
