Sam Wood

Sam Wood is a well-known fitness expert, entrepreneur, and media personality.

He first burst into the national spotlight as the Bachelor in 2015, but his journey in the fitness world started well before then. After studying Exercise Science, Sam built a strong foundation as one of Australia’s best personal trainers and fitness entrepreneurs, founding Gecko Sports, Australia’s first kids’ gym and sports franchise, designed to get kids moving and building confidence. In 2011 Sam also opened his first personalised gym The Woodshed that still goes from strength to strength today.

After The Bachelor Australia, Sam’s profile expanded rapidly, and so did his mission. He took his training philosophy beyond the gym floor and into people’s homes, creating 28 by Sam Wood, a leading online fitness and nutrition platform focused on simple, structured, and sustainable health habits that fit into real life (even the busy, chaotic kind). In 10 wild years 28 has become one of the worlds biggest online platforms with over 1 million members benefiting from the programs.

Outside of work, you’ll find Sam spending time with his beautiful wife that he met on the Bachelor, Snezana Markoski and their 4 beautiful girls.
