about the speakers ...
Aaron Whear
- PT Plus business coach Melbourne
- Filex presenter
- CEO of Career Fitness
- Aaron's talk at Business Bootcamp will be The Game Plan for Personal Trainers
After completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physical Education) degree, Aaron began his career in the fitness industry as a gym instructor in 1992. He quickly moved his way up the ranks firstly as a personal trainer and then as a gym manager. It was during his role as a gym manager that Aaron realised there was a gap between what gyms required from employees and what training providers were delivering to students. This led to his move into Fitness Leader education and a strong desire to help bridge the gap between education and what is required in the “real world” as a fitness instructor.
Aaron now runs Career Fitness and is a business coach under the PT Plus model for the state of Victoria. Aaron specialises in developing new business owners and 6 figure trainers using his proven model. With his experience he has developed a program specifically dedicated to the health and fitness industry on how to improve business efficiencies and profitability based on his philosophy of the "game plan".

Scott Krywulycz
- CEO of PT Plus International
- Director of Studio Plus
- Scott's talk for Business Bootcamp is Habits of the Top Performers in Health & Fitness Businesses
Whilst the health industry is full of a lot of great people with many letters after their name like Dr, PHD and Adjunct there is always an exception. The only letters after Scott’s name are the unusual ones forming his Ukranian surname. However with his limited education Scott has become one of Australia's leading PTs. He regularly bills out $25K+ a month and his clientele includes Australia's top performers in business and sport. Only 4 years ago he was earning $5k per month.
Scott has mentored and coached thousands of trainers on the principles of running a big PT business. His philosophy is simple "work less and earn more". With 3 kids under 5 years of age, a wife and a big bull mastiff dog, Scott has mastered the art of work/life balance.
He previously competed as a professional Rugby League player for the Cronulla Sharks and St George Illawarra Dragons. He also is the former Strength & Conditioning coach for the NRL Cronulla Sharks U19’s team as well as current Strength & Conditioning coach for the Australian Barracuda’s Pool Life Saving Team.
During his time as an athlete Scott was also the director of GC Singletons which had an annual turnover of 10 million dollars. This family based company was a specialist in the area of building restoration.
Scott has managed one of Australia’s largest gyms with 10,000 members and over 50 personal trainers. He also built his own boutique private studio that was responsible for training 100+ people a week using a 10 hour operating model.
His corporate clients read like the who’s who of Australia’s top performing businesses. Companies include QBE, Tynan Motors, St George Bank, Opportunity International, Morgan Stanley, AMP, CBRE, Lend Lease and Westfields.
At 36 years of age Scott’s passion is with working with fitnessprenaurs to better improve themselves and their business and to create the lifestyle and income they deserve.
After implementing the PT Plus model Scott discovered how to earn more and work less. He then went on to buy the business where he now works with PTs, studio owners, gyms and health professionals. He speaks both internationally and nationally about business and personal performance to the health industry and corporate market.
