ABOUT ME

My name is Jeff Ropati, and I'm Samoan/Kiwi. I was born in New Zealand and grew up in Samoa meaning I am blessed with being bilingual in both languages! I have been training for 10+ years, in and out of the gym and all sorts of sports. My love for fitness really kick started when I was younger with rugby being my main strength. Despite being naturally gifted in sport and loving it, I was going through my own challenges throughout my teen years and fell into bad habits, steering me away from all the good and into destruction. The thing that brought me back to my best self was training in the gym. The feeling of pushing myself further than I ever did and reaching goals I never thought I could reach was the fuel I needed to get back on track and thrive! Over the years, I became passionate about fighting and competed in my first Muay Thai competition in 2023. Training in various sports has helped me develop skills in areas I never even thought of. Flexibility, stamina, strength, endurance, weight loss - All skills I never dreamed of acquiring. Branching out into spaces that made me feel uncomfortable was helping me unlock new expertise and I fell in love with expanding my knowledge. 

Despite training in the gym for around 10 years, I had never thought to turn my love and passion into a career until I noticed people approaching me in the gym for help and guidance with their training and eating habits. I decided to take the leap and gain my qualifications - it was the best thing I could have done! Helping people feel more confident in their skin, sharing my knowledge, and seeing people happy have been my favourite part of being a personal trainer.

Throughout my time as a personal trainer, I have worked with females and males between the ages of 17 - 68. All my clients come from a wide range of backgrounds, with some being fitness lovers, to some who had never touched a weight before! Some of the areas I have helped previous clients with include: Fat loss, weight management, body recomposition, strength gain, weight gain, correcting form and technique, injury recovery, athletic performance, general health and fitness, confidence, enhancing flexibility and mobility and diet planning/nutritional advice.

My main purpose is to help others, and I hope you, too, take the first step in your fitness journey alongside me. Let me help you be the happiest, healthiest, most hard-working version of yourself!
