New Heights Fitness

My name’s Aaron, everyone calls me Az and I’m a boxing & performance coach based in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

I’ve been in this line of work for close to 20 years now, competing, coaching and guinea-pigging myself through all kinds of means in order to observe and learn more about the body, the mind & the spirit in pursuit of connection and optimization.

I’ve been Victorian champion, Australian champion, Oceania champion, Amateur, Professional, Trainer, Coach, Mentor, Student and have come to a junction in life where the experiences I have had can overlap into things I can now teach others.

I work with people who are at a point in life where they may have lost the spark in what they’re doing, they’ve hit a plateau or maybe their ceiling has been hit where nothing new is happening and they can’t see the road ahead of them.

I challenge athletes and individuals alike to explore different ways of being creative not only in their sport of choice but their own minds, bodies and human movement. It’s through this exploration we get to discover something new and exciting about ourselves and maybe take a step in a new direction, one that tells a more exciting story.

I’m blessed to have whatever audience I do, so thank you for following this story. If this finds you and you too have been in this place, I hope one day our paths cross and chapters overlap. 👊🏼

Every new moment is another beautiful opportunity to change your fortune ✨

I can’t remember a time where I’ve been more locked into this work than the present moment. The quality of people that are coming in is forcing me to grow as a coach and the people who misuse the service are pushing me to grow as a person.

Absolute blessings to all 👊🏼

Over the years I’ve had to refine all of the dialogue I have between myself and the people I work with. Everyone has a different way of communicating, a different past and a different way they filter their past experience into their present which ultimately sets us up for what we achieve together in the now.

I don’t get it twisted; I have to often check myself in so many different ways so that I too, don’t get in the way of the learning process.

✨

My pro-career, taught me a lot about the learning curve from amateur boxing to the professional circuit and how important it can actually be in the success of a great performance.

I started boxing when I was 13 and was an amateur until 2017. I turned pro in 2018, had two fights, both wins and then retired from the sport in 2021.

It’s crazy how much you learn about the sport as a coach. I feel the experience of being in there, watching, learning patterns of athletes, working with them as they go through it is a totally immersive experience in itself.

I don’t ever think “if I could go back and do it again…”, for me it’s about how do I do it better NOW so that others can better themselves within that.

Teaching on the foundations of the mistakes I made, through lack of awareness, and removing myself from my own personal experience so that the future generation has the best possible chance to learn and flourish within their own right 👊🏼

Kitting up for the week ahead. No days off ✨
