Duncan Rankine

About Duncan.

Hi, I am Duncan; I grew up in Adelaide and began working in the fitness industry in 1996.

I moved to Sydney in ’97 to work at various fitness chains before returning to Adelaide in 2010. I then started working with AIPT in 2013, won New Campus Director of the Year that same year, and brought over 25 years of industry experience with me. I currently run three Anytime Fitness campuses located at Black Forest, Mawson Lakes and Victor Harbour.

Before working as a Personal Trainer, I always dreamed of being a professional soccer player and even played semi-professionally before pursuing natural bodybuilding. I competed in 46 competitions and won four national titles. In 2011 I placed fourth at the World Championships in New York.

What inspired you to get into the Fitness Industry?

I’ve always had a strong interest in sports; I feel like fitness is in my blood. But it was while training between ’93-’95 that I felt really inspired to become part of this positive and encouraging environment.

What do you love about your job?

What I love most about my career is watching clients overcome challenges and achieve goals they thought were impossible.

Why did you partner with AIPT?

I learnt about AIPT while working at Goodlife Health Clubs in 2013 and started at the Goodlife Health Clubs Dernancourt campus. Now I run three other campuses in South Australia.

I’ve always aspired to help people, and after years in the industry working as a personal trainer, I became passionate about wanting to help other trainers achieve the same success.
