After spending much of his youth playing football in Europe, a career in the fitness industry seemed like an obvious choice for Liam Taylor. Upon his return to Australia, Mr Taylor set his sights on becoming a personal trainer, before founding Surge Health and Fitness in 2007. Mr Taylor took over as manager in 2009 and quickly set about turning the fortunes of the struggling business around. Mr Taylor has turned Surge Health and Fitness into the northern suburbs’ largest fitness centre boasting 3,500 members with 55 staff including 11 personal trainers.
