DEAN IN 1996
94 KG’S (207 LB) AND 4% BODY FAT.



Dean Geddes first began nutrition consulting at Les Mills Gym, Auckland City, back in 1994 at the age of 23. Prior to this Dean spent the previous four years completing his Bachelor of Consumer and Applied Science, at Otago University. His major was human nutrition. Dean first became interested in the impact of nutrition on exercise at the age of 16 when he began weight training after school. By the time he began university he had already been reading nutrition and training articles for three years.
Shortly after starting nutrition consulting, the gym manager encouraged Dean to get into personal training. Dean followed his advice, did the study, passed the exams and within a short time Dean had built up an excellent personal training and nutrition consulting client base.
The mix of nutrition consulting and personal training gave Dean an invaluable insight into the relationship between food choices and various types of exercise and the effect on body fat levels and muscle. Dean began to realise that exercise alone did not deliver the weight loss results, it definitely had to be supported with proper food choices. Dean trailed and measured the effectiveness of all types of diets on all types of people, including himself, and over time observed that a certain way of eating produced significantly more weight loss.
After two years of consulting and personal training Dean decided to take his nutrition and training knowledge even further by competing in the New Zealand Bodybuilding Champs. To Dean, reducing his body fat levels down to below 4% whilst maintaining muscle was the ultimate in fat loss dieting and exercise. This experience taught him a great deal about the mental and emotional aspects of dieting which helps his clients as he’s been there himself and knows what strategies work best for overcoming obstacles.
