I believe living a healthy lifestyle begins with maintaining not only a strong and fit body, but also mind. My aim is to help you identify your fitness goals, design an exercise program that fits your needs, and guide you through every exercise, every workout. I help people find the happiness in training.
My holistic approach to fitness and health is unique.
I have gained 13 Years experience as a Personal Trainer, Rehab Coach & Life Coach.
My business is based at my home studio 'The Shred Shed' in Gowrie, Canberra,
I also offer mobile Training and Mobility/Flexibility services to homes or other adequate locations, (Work/oval etc).

BOXING TRAINING
My experiences in boxing training have taught me not only the importance of building confidence but respect for the training style. Boxing/Boxfit is one of the best ways to shred up those excess kilos but also the focus on core training is par nun. The unique program I’ve developed will help burn calories, boost the metabolism, and improve your overall health.
REHAB TRANING
Injuries affect most of us at some point in our lives, from sitting all day in the office, to sports specific or even playing with the kids. Do your body a favour and get on top of what’s been holding you back!

WHATS @ THE SHRED SHED
CHECK OUT SOME TESTIMONIALS
"I have been training with Will Since January 2014, in that time he has not only help me dramatically with physical performance by improving my posture, rehabilitating a Knee and shoulder injury, but also mentally helped me overcome fears of training in the gym.
In October 2014, I was diagnosed with bowl cancer, which contributed to psychological trauma that Will endeavoured to help me through. After the surgery my specialist reassured me that the recovery process was dramatically speed up due to my physical state & in no time at all was able to return to the gym.
I have loved Australia during my visit, but most of all, my time with Will can never be forgotten".

"My husband and I have trained with Will over a year and we just love him!! Not only for his smiley face, Will is also packed with positive energy and knowledgeable in fitness and rehabilitation techniques. We have amazingly fun workouts and awesome tips that we can practice in our own time. Every week, Will can come up with a different plan which means we would never get bored. He would take us through a full body workout incorporating HIIT, weight training and cardio. At the end of each session, Will never failed to give us more love with hard core abs session!!
Will has made both of us physically and mentally stronger. Something that I thought I would never be able to do, but today I can. Thanks Will!!! We will miss you and also our little chats".

"I never thought I'd be able to get strength and mobility in my left leg after a motorbike accident, but with Will and his vast knowledge on rehabilitation within 12 months not only am I back to where I was, my technique and strength is past pre injury. Definitely recommend for anyone who has a injury or not".
John Catling
"Honestly, Will is the only trainer I've had that I trust with my fitness and that actually understands my goals. He goes above and beyond to cater to my requests and pushes me to my limit. Much appreciated".
Christian Clark
"I have been going to Will for training at Fitness First for nearly 6 years. I am 58 and have over this time lost about 7 kg. I was out of condition when I started and wanted to be a bit fitter and toned up. I really enjoy the training sessions, the variety of exercises and the whole process over the years. It also helps that you don’t have to think about what to do – a bit lazy - just turn up. During this time I have also had to finally deal with older niggling injuries. I have had surgery on my shoulder and Will’s liaison with the physio helped a lot with the recovery. Info and a regime for stretching have been really useful. It’s got rid of a couple of longer term aches. Give it a go – Will has been really helpful and encouraging”.
Peter Bell
"Always great group sessions. But Will still makes it feel like it's a one on one. Best group to work with as well. They all make u feel great about yourself no matter your level of fitness. Thanks Will I will be back next week. WILL POWER is he on your side?".

Through 2019, I have lost 26kg (107kg – 81kg) and have a new lease on life. The change has been night and day from a physical health, mental health and being a better father to my 1 & 3 year old’s. I have Will to thank for this transformation.
Specifically, my weight loss & health transformation would not be possible without the guidance, unwavering support and good humour of Will. He has been instrumental in my journey so far.
Since beginning training with Will I have noticed specific attributes to training with him:
Overall cleanliness & professionalism of his studio
Proactive focus on ensuring members have alternate exercises to consider in the event of injury/injury prevention/rehabilitation
Consistently approachable with a unique mix of people skills, communication and theory/education around exercise, PT, human biology (it’s clear he knows his stuff)
Constantly “working the room” and ensuring we know he is present
Sacha Jeeawody
Will Jarden had been my personal trainer, 3 times per week , the last 8 years at Fitness Fitness & my home. He has looked after my health incredibly well. Throughout those years I had a few complications and every time Will has researched and adapted my exercise program, which kept me motivated and improved my general health.
Will is very personable and has a great sense of humour. He cares about his client’s goals, and has always done his best to help me achieve mine.
Simon Parry-Oakden
After moving to Canberra from Denmark, I decided to try a Personal Trainer to see if they could work with my osteopath in helping me gain more strength in my lower body due to SIJ syndrome.
Wills knowledge into the human anatomy and understanding of injury rehabilitation helped me progress from only being able to move around pain free in a wheelchair, to walking 100 meters, then 300 meters and now to using NO wheelchair.
I'll never forget the day I left Canberra & the gratitude I showed Will in the form of tears to show my appreciation for how he has changed my life.
