JT wakes up every day to get more people moving and moving more often, to reduce the health care costs around the world. While he wants people moving, he believes the best (and safest) place is in a quality health club with qualified fitness professionals overseeing what they are doing. Together, owners and JT, will make a difference. 

As Australia’s most awarded fitness business speaker, JT is recognized Internationally as a thought leader who delivers in a unique style and with quality content. He began his career in 1989 as a gym instructor before opening clubs from 1993 to 2008. He began chairing REX Roundtables in Australia in 2005 and joined the US team in 2020. He chairs REX Roundtables for owners, suppliers and franchisees. He has spoken in 25 countries, educating over 250,000 gym owners, managers and team members.

JT is also the owner of the world’s number 1 podcast for gym owners and staff, The Fitness Business Podcast.  With over 1,750,000 downloads and guests from in and out of the industry, this educational input adds even more value to the REX Roundtables that JT chairs.

Finally, JT has trained in over 1000 fitness facilities since 2015 as a casual visitor – yes he paid to workout there – to get the true consumer experience and now receives hundreds of gym emails every month, allowing a global overview of gyms, studios, and trainers.
