About

I specialise in Fitness Equipment & Accessories Direct Sourcing My father used to say to me... "Don't do tomorrow what you can do today" and "Be straight up with people". I live by those principles still today. I was your typical active kid who played sports 5 nights a week and even made it to elite levels of some. In 1997 I took this passion for an active lifestyle and opened Total Physique Personal Training Centre and The Taebo Martial Aerobics Centre. After 10 years I took a break and travelled to USA on a 5 week Professional Wrestling tour during which I was offered a trial with the World Wrestling Federation (now known as the WWE). I turned it down and returned to Australia to work with some other family businesses. Someone advised me to take my knowledge, hard working attitude and drive and offer my services to others. As a result 'Global Sourcing Australia' was born. GSA specialises in the sourcing and procurement of fitness accessories and equipment. Using my knowledge and contacts I can help save you time and money by quickly finding the right product to suit your needs. I have helped clients like Zaraffes, AFL Clubs, Cricket Australia, Punch Equipment, Sportys Health, Eye Fitness Australia, Fitbod, Health Management Group (HMG) and other businesses and elite athletes just to name a few. In 2008 I stepped in as Manager of Sportys Fitness. Over the last 16 years I have been responsible for turning an average range into what is commonly known as the largest range of fitness, boxing, muay thai, and mma gear in Australia. Backed with years of knowledge, key relationships, hard work and honest communication I can help make your life easier. I look forward to talking to you.
