Fitness, Fame & World Records
Retiring in 1996, Guy’s love of fitness became his next focus. Over the next 15 years, Guy built a business from his name and way of life, that saw his brand signature clothing range sold in department stores across Australia and signature sporting equipment sold in leading outdoor retail stores (Anaconda etc.)
At the same time, Guy began training some of the world’s biggest names. International super brands including Madonna and George Clooney looked to Guy for the secrets of high performance and physical transformation.
During this time, he also worked with athletes including 7 x World Surfing Champion Layne Beachley & Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Pottharst helping them reach their goals.
This period strengthened his belief in the formula of winning, which he learnt all those years ago in the pool!
Guy was involved with five of Layne’s seven world title wins.
Guy set Guinness Book of Records across fitness categories that helped to promote the importance of fitness in the outdoors. Over 2,500 people participated in the World’s largest fitness circuit class Guy ran in the Yarra Valley in Victoria. At the time, he had 3 other fitness group world records to his name.
Survivor Winner
Over the years Guy has been asked to compete in most of the celebrity TV shows – dancing, singing, cooking & Big Brother to name a few.
There was only one that he had any interest in – Survivor!
He & his family have been massive fans of the reality TV show forever.
He got his chance, when asked to compete in the second Australian season of Survivor in 2007, that was held in Vanuatu.
Guy had 2 months to prepare for the grueling month-long competition. As he has always done during his sporting career, he set himself a training program to give himself the edge over the competition.
This included finding a Brisbane man that had lived in the jungles of Vanuatu with the locals for two years. The knowledge he learnt from him, including what you can & can’t eat & where to find the food were all advantages he had over the competition.
“It ended up being one of my most memorable times in his life and in the end I outwitted, outplayed & outlasted the competition to be the sole Survivor!”
