'STRIVE FOR GREATNESS'
Your success starts
and ends with you!
ANTHONY KASSIS
Director & Head Trainer
It all starts and ends with you. As soon as you realise that you have the ability to control everything about your life, that’s when you start winning.
I have lived my life competing to win and I am passionate about what I do. My positive attitude towards life ensures that every client that I come into contact with achieves and maintains their results.
I have competed in many sports, but my performance in boxing takes the cake in terms of success, winning 2 Amateur Boxing State Titles in my career with a record of 11-1 with 3 KO’s.
I took the attributes that got me to succeed in the sport of boxing and applied them to business and relationships.
Before I knew it I had my own gym, and for the first time in my life, I found fulfilment with my job.
As the owner of Platinum Training Academy, I guarantee that I will meet, greet, and train every single individual and ensure that they are receiving all the support and guidance that they need to help them on their journey to achieving their health and fitness goals.
I have a huge passion for wanting to ensure everyone around me succeeds and I enjoy watching people flourish. I am sincerely honoured to be a part of the process.

OUR WORST ENEMY IS OURSELVES, DONT LET FEAR & DOUBT CONTROL YOU. MAKE A DIFFERENCE & STRIVE TO BE BETTER
The fitness industry has been a massive part of my life since a young age. It all started for me with Rugby League, playing for the St George Illawarra Dragons.
Due to injury, I had to give it up, but found myself yearning to be back inside the gym regardless of my physical restraints. This is where my passion for helping people began.
I realised that if I was able to recover from my injuries, becoming a healthier and stronger individual; then there was no reason why I couldn’t do the same for others.
Fast forward, and I am now a coach at Platinum Training Academy, running my own successful personal training business on the side, and have achieved success as a competitive Mens Physique Athlete.
I have competed in three bodybuilding shows and have placed top three in each. Although generally being a shy and quiet person, on that stage I always make sure to have as much fun as possible, while showing off my discipline and dedication to get my body as lean as possible.
A goof ball on and off the stage, every person that meets me knows that I don’t take anything too seriously. We have only one life, so I strive to live it to the fullest.
I specialise in Fat Loss, Rehabilitation, Physique Prep Coaching, and Strength Training. My goal is to coach and inspire anyone wanting to change their lifestyle for the better and create the best version of themselves.
Health and Fitness is my passion, and I make sure that each and every client who crosses my path maintains a smile on their face and feels good about themselves, both mentally and physically.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW CHANCE TO BE BETTER THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY. BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD
After spending ten years in the corporate sector, I made the decision to change career paths and become a Personal Trainer. Health and fitness is my passion, and I love teaching my clients about the importance of physically and mentally looking after themselves.
My belief is that health should be our number one priority, and my coaching has a strong focus on stress management, as well as lifestyle and the impact it can have on your performance. I also assert that a strong, functional body is essential to longevity and quality of life.
Hence, I am currently expanding my brand into rehabilitation and remedial massage to further support my coaching experience.
In particular, I love working with women who are ready to make a positive change within themselves. One of the most rewarding things I have done to date is to start a program focusing on educating teenage girls on their health, nutrition and training. Always enjoying a good laugh and a challenge, one of my personal goals is to compete in my first bodybuilding show in the near future.
I treat my clients like family, encouraging each one to bring their very best to the table while taking great pride in seeing people embrace the best version of themselves.
MISSION STATEMENT
through hard work and dedication, and the power of self-belief; we strive for greatness.
we aspire to be a light of hope to those around us.
a family away from home.
