I'm super pumped to bring this episode to you.
It’s a trip down memory lane for me and an opportunity to not only connect with but also pay respects to my first-ever bodybuilding coach!
Today, I have the privilege of interviewing Bart Van Der Molen, a former Mr. Universe who now owns and runs Bangkok's biggest hardcore gym!
Backstory…
I stepped on stage at my first bodybuilding competition in 1990 at the age of 15.
Fun fact: Jason Urbanowicz also competed in that competition… so there we were, both 15 years old and oiled up on stage in the budgie smugglers!
I get to unpack parts of my journey, from the first time I got my hands on a barbell to now, 40 years later, where it’s still an intense love affair with the iron game!
I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Bart in late 1989, and that helped me immensely.
Tune in as you’ll also hear the following:
The amazing impact that having a coach and mentor in my life at 15 years had on my personal development, which later contributed to the success of Peak Physique Personal Training and ultimately led to the creation of the juggernaut that Trainer HQ is today!
How the “Muscle Factory” in both Bangkok and Pattaya (Thailand) has become renowned as the “mecca” of gyms in the Asian region and how it was established only 10 years ago!
The unique methodology that Bart uses to ‘buck the trend’ of most gyms and how it’s given them global recognition!
Bart has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and he loves to have fun along the way as he shares his wisdom!
Enjoy, as you’re in for a treat on this one…
…plus I get to pay my respects to people who have played a massive part in my growth and development.

Today was one of those “this is what it’s all about” moments.
Trainer HQ Master Coach Kris Mount — a long-time client of 7 years, and someone I’ve seen evolve through every stage of business and life — flew up from Sydney last night, stayed at my place, and spent the day in the office with us.
We recorded what turned into one of the most real, practical, and insight-packed podcast episodes we’ve ever done.
Kris opens up about how he started in the industry earning just $600 a week, and we uncovered how he’s grown to now own two successful studios, lead a team of seven, and continue expanding with clarity and consistency.
Oh — and he’s doing all of this while raising three kids and staying grounded through it all.
This isn’t fluff. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s real-world growth, built through years of showing up, solving problems, building systems, and learning how to lead.
👀 If you’re serious about growing a business that actually works and lasts- you’ll want to tune in. You're going to get a lot out of this one.

Join the lads on our latest exciting episode as we unpack a relationship that started 15 years ago! Kris Cochrane was (at the time) a young 20-something PT with plenty of drive but absolutely no idea how to run a business! In 2010, we commenced an exciting journey together, with KC becoming one of Trainer HQ's business coaching clients. This took Kris on a wild ride over the next seven years, during which he built Australia's largest independent team of personal trainers. Rapid PT grew in Sydney and then Perth, expanding to multiple locations and over 40 PTs, turning over just shy of $400K per month... yes, you read that correctly! Kris shares parts of that wild ride, including how the business ultimately shut down in 2017. Being the type of person that Kris is, he turned adversity into opportunity, embarking on a completely new role as a remote sales closer. Today, KC and Sharni run the Remote Sales Institute, where they educate and place professionals— from beginners to elite salespeople— into lucrative roles.
Tune into an inspiring episode that is jam-packed with experience, wisdom, and knowledge from someone who has excelled at all levels!
