Listen to Phyllis interviewing Mike Catton on a number of issues we face when losing weight Friends who sabotage us Exercise and your mindset Personal Profile
Mike left the regular army as a Chartered Aircraft Engineer, having been the Engineering Officer for a fleet of 30+ aircraft, but that was just his day job that saw him complete tours of duty in Bosnia and Kosovo. The aspect of the army that he most enjoyed was the adventure training.
Whilst in the army Mike led winning ski teams and orienteering teams. He participated in mountain marathons across the UK, led canoeing expeditions to Austria, Germany and Italy. He instructed on ski expeditions to Germany and Canada as well as organising mountain training expeditions, climbing trips and trekking expeditions to Thailand, Malaysia, Canada and America. He’s slept in tents, in the open, in snow holes in Norway, its just part of the adventure. Since leaving the Army Mike has set up and run a Kick Boxing Academy, been a university lecturer and established his own property business.

You might think that Mike would have no challenges with health and fitness. Think again, an active lifestyle certainly helps but it does not replace the need for good nutrition and regular exercise. Health and fitness are two separate goals for Mike; it is possible to be fit but unhealthy. Dissatisfied with his state of health and growing waistline Mike embarked on a journey of finding solutions. He decided on three main criteria, the solution would have to be simple enough to do, enjoyable enough that he would actually want to do it and most importantly actually work! Much reading and study later he qualified as a Personal Trainer. His solution has seen him transform physically, he is healthier and fitter and as an added bonus managed to shed 15% of his body weight. In the UK he worked as a Personal Trainer with British Military Fitness.

In emigrating to New Zealand in March 2006 Mike and his wife Kathy are now living their dream. They are in the country that embodies adventure. Mike is passionate about GMF, not just for the outstanding results that it will give you, but for the world that fitness and good health opens up to you. Find your dream and live it with passion!
