Podcast #15 - Lusiano Afeaki. Former Hong Kong Rugby International. Co-Owner of the first UFC Gym in Australia and current Co-Owner of Crunch Fitness Gym with 18 sites across New South Wales and Victoria. Proud of his Tongan Heritage and his family
It was great to catch up with my old friend Luch on the podcast and talk about his path from Tonga to New Zealand (Petone), Hong Kong to Australia, and how his life took some unexpected turns along the way.
He shares how he first felt about NZ and some of his experiences at Wilford Primary School, St Bernard's College and going onto Massey University to finish a Bachelor of Business Studies degree.
We hear how he ended up in Hong Kong and made the best of the situation going on to represent Hong Kong in Rugby from 1998 to 2005. This is where he made the career change and he and his wife became involved in the gym industry, firstly running them and then going on to co-own them.
Lusiano and his wife Selena now own 18 Crunch Fitness gyms across NSW and Victoria with 75,000 members. He shares how he has arrived at where he is and offers some sage advice to others looking to get into the business world......like me.
I took a lot away from this chat and I'm sure you will too.
Enjoy.
