Justin started in the fitness industry in 1989 as gym instructor and personal trainer after receiving his BS in Physical and Health Education. Believing he had a future in the fitness industry as a personal trainer he started work for Jamie Hayes' health club chain Body Express, where personal training became a memory as he progressed into sales and finally management. His burning ambition saw him open Active Fitness Centre in 1993. In 2003, with challenges to the lease, he came to an amicable arrangement with Fitness First and Active Fitness Centre closed. Currently, he owns and manages Active Health Club a 300 square metre facility in North Ryde.

It is not all fitness for Justin! He is a keen rugby supporter and now coach. The hi-light being last year when his 4th Grade Eastwood side won the premiership, after loosing just one game all season. This year he was the Skills Coach for NSW Country Under 20 side and his 3rd Grade side this year sits on top of the table with just one loss!
