I honestly believe I am fitter now in my 60’s than I was in my 30’s thanks to BFIRM. Never did I believe I could endure HIIT training and lift heavier weights at my age…but here I am…twice a week, every week!

“Whether you’re training for an event, chasing a personal milestone, or just looking to stay fit and healthy, BFIRM is your one-stop shop. After losing over 50kg, running three half marathons, playing in a football grand final at 43, and even stepping into the boxing ring, I can confidently say none of it would have been possible without Jarrod, Micky, and the BFIRM team.

“The intensity of my return to training from both pregnancies started slow under Jarrod’s guidance, gradually building it back up to what it was prior to babies, hopefully even better.

Training for me now has become about strength, agility & longevity. I want to be able to run around with my kids & live a long happy & healthy life. There are many other clients I see training at BFIRM well into their later years of life & still moving so well & it’s so inspiring!”e know about the services you provide?

On the 27th of October 2018 Sean Edwards, a long term beloved member of BFIRM, had a fall at his home resulting in a life changing head injury.

After fracturing his skull on a retaining wall and being rendered unconscious for 6 hours until he was found, Sean's vital signs were critical.

Sean was transferred to The Alfred where he was incubated and underwent a craniotomy to remove part of his skull to release the pressure on the brain caused by the severe swelling. In Sean’s case, a large portion of the right side of his skull was completely removed and he was then placed into an induced coma. Sean’s family were told the chances of survival were not great and to say their goodbyes.

The surgeon operating on Sean said that if it hadn’t been for Sean’s level of fitness he wouldn’t have survived the 6hrs being unconscious, the ambulance ride or the surgery that followed.

After a week in a coma Sean awoke. He and his family were told he had suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and had torn his nuchal ligament (ligament attaches spine to brain) along with his severe skull fracture. As a result the likelyhood of walking and talking again weren’t great.

Sean began his campaign at BFIRM way back in 2013 to “look and feel better” about himself, but had never thought or considered that being fit and healthy through consistent training would actually save his life!

“I told BFIRM I wanted to run 100km, and they didn’t laugh.
They believed in me.

That simple moment was the start of something big. With Jarrod, Micky, and the BFIRM team backing me, and coaching from Levi Maxwell, I started building towards one massive goal: finishing a 100km ultra.

Step by step, race by race, with the unwavering support of my wife (aka Crew Chief) and our two daughters, I chipped away at it. There were setbacks, falls, and doubts, but we worked through them.

In March 2025, I crossed the finish line at the Buffalo Stampede 100km, under my goal time. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and one of the most rewarding.

I’m stronger, fitter, and more determined than ever. No matter what’s next, I’ll carry that finish line feeling with me, and I’ll never forget the team that got me there.

Thank you BFIRM.”
