Darian Furner, 28 

Our driving passion at Hive Activ is helping people achieve their goals. So when client Darian Furner came to us with a clear vision and a determined spirit, it inspired us. 

“I have had the goal of becoming an NRL referee for a long time. I joined Hive Activ for accountability to keep me on track to reach that goal. I knew I needed a personal trainer to guide me and to offer constructive feedback.” 

To work as an NRL referee, it is crucial that your fitness level matches, if not exceeds, the fitness level of the players on the field. Darian needed to be performing at the level of a first-grade athlete so that he could call a game with a clear mind and without fear of fatigue. To assist him in achieving this, we focused his two weekly PT sessions on power development and skill acquisition. 

“My overall fitness has improved immensely. I am also more confident in my lifting abilities. I now feel confident in sessions where I used to struggle. I knew my technique wasn’t great, so I would overthink all of the lifts. They would look terrible. Now I know my technique is better but I have also learnt through Luey and Sarah’s guidance to trust myself more.” 

In the time he has trained with us, Darian has never failed to step up to the plate. He devoted himself entirely to his goals and was never afraid to put in the hard work. Safe to say that dedication and self-discipline paid off big time.

“I have now reached my long term goal of making the NRL squad. I could not have done it without all of the crew at Hive Activ. The support throughout each session is outstanding. They want what is best for you and will help you out in any way to make sure you achieve what you set out for. They really want to get to know you. I think this is what makes them stand out from other gyms.’

We will always be cheering you on from the sidelines, Darian!
