...AJ is a passionate gamer and Twitch streamer who has built a loyal following through his engaging content and commitment to personal growth. While his streams have traditionally focused on general gaming and tactical shooters like Rainbow Six Siege, AJ is now expanding into IRL content—bringing his community along for the ride as he shares gym sessions, cooking, and his ongoing fitness journey.

AJ’s love for gaming began with classics like Crash Bandicoot and Tekken 3, and over time, his dedication to gaming evolved into a broader passion for performance—both mental and physical. After reaching 140kg, AJ realised he needed to reset his lifestyle. Through gradual, disciplined changes, he found a new balance between gaming, health, and work. His transformation sparked curiosity from his online community, who began asking for advice on how to get started with fitness.

Rather than simply share what worked for him, AJ made the decision to study formally—completing the New Zealand Certificate in Exercise Level 4 (NZC Exercise L4) through Te Mahi Ako. He was supported throughout by Devin Glover, Owner, Personal Trainer, and Technical Mentor at The Fitness Portal Tawa, where AJ gained hands-on experience and real-world insight.

The connection between gaming and fitness became even clearer as AJ progressed. Whether it’s breaking down match strategies in Siege or analysing training blocks in the gym, both worlds require discipline, analysis, and consistency. AJ approached his own health transformation the same way he plays his games—with focus, reflection, and a hunger to improve.

Now sitting at 119kg with 32% body fat and aiming for 95kg and 20% body fat, AJ continues to apply what he’s learned to his own journey. His favourite training? Mobility—an essential focus for his physically demanding work as a tradie. He’s also started helping friends and family with their fitness, building a base of experience and motivation to eventually do more coaching and content creation.

For AJ, the future is a mix of gaming, fitness, and motivating others. Whether it’s on Twitch, Instagram, or in real life—he’s showing that no matter where you start, change is always possible with the right mindset and support.
