CRAIG

PAXTON

ABOUT CRAIG

As a married father of two, I transitioned from a corporate career in a major bank to become a personal trainer, driven by my own transformative journey of losing 10 kg. That personal experience not only gave me a profound sense of achievement and self-belief but also the freedom to move and enjoy life more. For 19 years, I’ve also had the privilege of coaching junior elite basketball teams, helping athletes unlock their full potential. Now, I’m passionate about using my experience to help others not just reach their goals, but truly exceed their own expectations.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER JOB?

My first job was at Hungry Jacks as a crew member. I worked my way up into management.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE EXERCISE ACTIVITY?

I love lifting weights. Pushing my body past its limits and achieving what I never thought was possible. I also enjoy running, boxing, and anything that truly challenges me physically.

WHAT HIGH SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO?

I went to Cleeand Secondary College.

WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT BEING A PT?

I love seeing my clients do things they never thought they could, like completing a box jump, doing a chin-up, or transforming their body into something they’re proud of.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?

My wife makes a chicken risotto that’s to die for. Once, she made extra for leftovers for the next few days and left a note saying “help yourself,” but I ate all 5 servings before she got home!

What Our CLIENTS Say

★★★★★

I started PT with Craig to shed a few of those COVID-kilos and improve my overall health and fitness. Over a year later, I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been, with more energy than ever before. Craig never fails to throw a few laughs in each session with the support and motivation you need to get through the tough moments.

Brigitte

★★★★★

As a full-time mum of 2 as well as working full time, finding time for a workout is a struggle. But the ability to be able to bring my kids along while I get an hour of laughs and exercise makes it so much easier. The friendships formed are an added bonus! Craig has created a very friendly and fun environment, and I highly recommend his services!

Loz

★★★★★

When I started with Craig, I was the heaviest I’ve ever been. I never felt judged by Craig; instead being encouraged for every little milestone we met. He has shown me complete empathy and understanding for any time I slip up on my goals, whilst keeping me on track. I have lost 20+ kgs with him, and enjoy both his personal training and boot camps. My time with him has been worth every dollar and second I’ve spent, as I’m feeling more confident than I have in a very long time and feeling much more healthy and energetic. Thanks for everything, Craig, looking forward to hitting the next goal!

Aaron

★★★★★

I just wanted to thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you, even though I was occasionally saying f*** you, Craig, under my breath. I don’t feel like the old me, I am the new and improved me!

I started training with AFP when I decided it was time to focus on Me and I’ve continued ever since — through busy work schedules, pregnancy, post-partum, and now with a toddler in tow my sessions with Craig are the one consistent thing that I do for myself. He’s always supporting my needs and schedule. Absolute 10/10.

Craig good trainer

Brigitte Pirotta

The atmosphere that Craig creates in all of his Boot Camp classes is amazing. He's able to create a relaxing environment whilst also making an Active session happen. He always brings a lot of joy and passion to his class, which quickly spreads to everyone else in it. He's always down to have a laugh with all of us! When I fell pregnant, Craig went above and beyond to accommodate my new needs. He was extremely knowledgeable, and for anything he didn't know, he always ensured to have the correct answer in a very short amount of time. Without his sessions, I can honestly say that I would have had no energy throughout my pregnancy.

Aaron Pirotta

After training with Craig for over a year, I was able to lose over 25kgs. He's been an awesome support and a huge wealth of knowledge. I feel like I've learnt so much from him. I'm almost unrecognisable to myself. His PT sessions are well structured, targeted to my goals and really allowed me to achieve my goals. His Boot Camp sessions are really affordable, great value, social and an amazing way to stay active. Without the support of Craig, I wouldn't have been able to get this far.
