Mason Thomas – Author and Personal Trainer
Born and raised in Rotorua, New Zealand, Mason Thomas has been a beacon of motivation and health advocacy from a young age. His journey into the world of fitness and wellness began at the tender age of 10, following a challenging battle with glandular fever. Confined to his bed and inspired by the active lives of his peers, he made a vow to not only recover but to excel in physical fitness. This resolve saw him transforming his bedroom into a makeshift gym, setting the foundation for a lifelong passion for health.
In 1980, at just 15 years old, Thomas began to intertwine his love for fitness with his flair for writing, crafting a series of innovative audio fitness courses. These courses, well-received and distributed through the local TV Guide, marked the start of a prolific career in fitness education and entrepreneurship. By the early ’80s, he was at the helm of his own gym, and in 1987, he broke new ground by becoming New Zealand’s first personal fitness trainer with the launch of his Fitness Studio.
The late 1990s saw Thomas channeling his expertise into combating the growing issue of childhood obesity. His dedication led him to pursue a teaching degree, after which he devoted over a decade to educating middle school students, ingeniously blending literacy with fitness. He also developed comprehensive courses focusing on healthy nutrition and fostering a fitness mindset.
Since 2015, Mason Thomas has dedicated himself to being a full-time fitness writer. His work is characterized by its empathetic tone, practicality, and an unwavering commitment to inspiring others towards a healthier, more active lifestyle.
