“You are what everyone needs. Someone who is knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge to make others better.”
Alessandro broadening his knowledge and experience on a trip to Italy October 2025…
And who else should be there but Simon in his Shedding Australia hat along with Alessandro in his Goodlife hat…. always on the job…
Even in Bologna!!
Coming on board with Shedding Australia’s Training and Treating philosophies Alessandro has spent many hours researching, testing and affirming the basic principles of helping people become stronger and more athletic.
Operating out of Goodlife Dernancourt he provides one on one services and has been described as follows:
“I’ve watched him in the gym; he’s not like other trainers; he’s focused on his client not on his phone. His manner puts others to shame.”
Dernancourt Goodlife member
“Each week I’m discovering more ways to help fix people. The Shedding Australia Training and Treated method is unlike anything I’ve seen in Personal Training before. As soon as I heard about it through Simon, I knew it aligned with my values; what I wanted to bring to the table in terms of supporting others.
The idea of being able to provide guidance and motivation for training is terrific but being able to, in the same session, help someone move more freely and be in less stress or trauma-based pain, not just training discomfort, is exciting.”
Alessandro is known for his friendliness, his being genuinely personable and “not just pursuing sales targets as so many others in this industry are”.
“I’m a regular guy for regular people”
