Hi, I am Derek,
the Founder and Head Trainer of Action Reaction Fitness.

I’ve been coaching and training clients for 8 years, with the goal of helping people understand the tools and application to allow everyone to live the healthy balanced lifestyle they have always wanted.

My background has been in basketball playing and competing at all levels from an early age. Basketball has allowed me to travel to Australia and America to represent New Zealand, while also playing at the highest national level in New Zealand for several years. Being competitive in my sport, strength and conditioning was especially important and the main reason I decided to study health and fitness. This tied in with the love for helping people and sharing my knowledge is why I started my Personal Training career

Now working in the industry for an extended period, I thought it was a perfect time to make myself more accessible to potential clients and people looking to reach their fitness goals. Action Reaction Fitness Online Coaching is going to be a personalised experience that I am excited to bring to everyone
