‼️ NEW COACH ‼️

‼️NEW COACH‼️

Name: Alkin Lavea aka Alks aka The Comeback Kid aka The Captain aka Prince Point of the Chevalier ⚔️

Ethnicity: Samoan/Chinese - Part time Cookie lol MANIHIKI STAND UP!! 😂😂

⭕️What is one thing you love about exercise/training?

Mostly the benefits of where it takes me mentally. I’ve been on some pretty tough ultra runs on the road by myself & every time I’ve come back from them stronger mentally & found more answers to my questions then prior to starting the run. Everything after that is just a byproduct of being in love with movement, better father, partner & friend. + my kids are on the come up, I know that day will come when they step up to the plate & challenge dad. Who am I to deny such a request 💀😂

⭕️ What do you enjoy about coaching?
- It’s hard to explain lol but have you ever seen someone’s fighting spirit ignite? Everyone’s got one.. and with enough time, reps & logs stacked. Once it gets going, that man/woman will be a hard person to put down.. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness.

⭕️Outside of training and coaching, what is one thing you enjoy doing?
I live a pretty simple life lol There’s only 2 things I ever do. Spend time with my little family.. and if I’m not with them then I’m outside running the numbers up!

⭕️What does service mean to you?
Service towards one’s family, community & country. I’ve grown up heaps now 😅😂 but I do believe kindness & service towards others is how we pay rent here on earth.

⭕️What’s a full circle moment you’ve experienced?
Long story short. I dropped out of high school when I was I was 15-16. Had no sense of direction. At 18 when I went to back to study to be a personal trainer but the weight of my sins & habits far outweighed my dreams. I was lost just going through the motion. At 25 my first child arrived, life changed. Grass turned green. 12 years later at age of 30 I get presented the opportunity to finish what 18 year old me set off to do. Full circle G ⭕️

⭕️Favourite lift/movement or exercise?
I can’t lie I do love a cheeky bicep pump & a run straight after 😂😂😂 yeeeee
