Manfred
Moves PT
In-person training at Zap Fitness, and online coaching for tradies across Australia through Hard Yakka Shred.
From the concrete plant floor to the gym floor
I didn't start out as a trainer. I used to manage a concrete plant, running crews, chasing deadlines, and watching blokes put everything into the job and nothing into themselves.
That's where Manfred Moves PT started. I saw the same pattern over and over. Hard working people who had a plan for every job on site, but no plan for their own body. Sore backs, no energy left for the family, gear that stopped fitting.
I got my Cert III and Cert IV in Fitness so I could actually do something about it. Now I coach people through in-person sessions at Zap Fitness in St Morris, and I run Hard Yakka Shred, an online coaching program built specifically for tradies.
Over 100 transformations later, the mission hasn't changed. Build a plan that fits your life, not the other way round.
Qualified. Certified. On the tools.

Hard Yakka Shred · Est 2025
Hard Yakka Shred is my online coaching program, built for tradies who put in a full day on the tools and still want to look and feel like they train.
Not motivation. Systems. A plan that works with your roster, not against it. Training, nutrition and recovery built around the reality of shift work, smoko breaks and knock-off exhaustion.
You don't have a work problem. You have a structure problem. Hard Yakka Shred fixes the structure.
DM me "CREW" on Instagram and I'll send you the details.

Real Hard Yakka Shred clients, in their own words.
Before starting Hard Yakka Shred, I was stuck restarting every Monday. I'd train for a few days, slack off with food, blame my 10 hour days as an electrician, and end up back where I started.
In under 4 weeks I went from 67kg to 63kg, dropped body fat, built visible abs and a bigger back, and actually look like I train. I'm not restarting anymore, I'm progressing every week.
Before joining Hard Yakka Shred, my training and nutrition were all over the place. It was always an "I'll do it when I can" approach, no real structure, no system, no consistency.
Since starting, everything has changed. I now have a clear structure built around my lifestyle, with Manfred there every step of the way. Dropped from 82kg to 76.5kg in under four weeks.
I've always struggled to find a sustainable way of losing weight. On site all day busting my backside, whilst also going out on the weekends, but I'd gotten nowhere.
Now thanks to Manfred and the Hard Yakka Shred program, I feel 10x more energetic on site, whilst I'm still able to enjoy my favourite foods and drinks and make progress.
When I joined Hard Yakka Shred, I was stuck. I'd been training for years but never saw the results I wanted. My confidence was low, and I wasn't happy with how I looked.
Manfred built a plan around my lifestyle, not the other way round. Now I've dropped the weight, built muscle, and finally feel confident shirtless again.
