Guy Leech

name: Guy Leech

sport: ironman, fitness training

current position: Managing Director, Guy Leech World of Fitness

career highlights: Guy dominated Ironman competition for 10 years, winning an amazing 7 Uncle Toby's Iron Man Championships and the inaugural Coolangatta Gold and World Ironman titles… all this in the event many believe to be the ultimate test of fitness.

In 1994, the Australian Institute of Sport crowned Guy "Australia's fittest Athlete", and the following year, Inside Sport magazine dubbed him "The Fittest Man on the Planet". He is now 42 years old and remains in phenomenal shape (as viewers of last year’s Celebrity Survivor would be well aware).

Guy will be providing DD members with articles on fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle and urging us to support The Heart Research Institute.

“I have my own reasons for supporting The Heart Research Institute. I was just 12 years old when my dad suffered a heart attack and collapsed in front of me. It was undoubtedly a major catalyst for pushing myself to become an athlete noted for being fitter than any other during my competitive years. 

“I have now dedicated my life to spreading the message that Australians need to be fitter and healthier at a time when obesity and heart disease have become the greatest health issues in our history. Accordingly I support the wonderful work done by our internationally renowned Heart Research Institute and Double Drummer provides me with another platform to help spread the word.”
