Alex Bryan - Changing His Life #038

Alex Bryan initially grew up in Horsham, Victoria, completing his schooling and early adult years in the country town. Having moved to Ballarat nearly 5 years ago, Alex came to town originally attempting to break free of a destructive cycle that he had found himself in; through hard work and focus Alex has built his successful PT business and made Ballarat his home. Growing up in a generation of instant gratification left Alex lost as a young adult when he found himself in a career that did not hold his interest. Looking for an escape, Alex took to partying and recreational drugs. What followed was a trip of ups and downs, filling his life with lies to be able to continue partying as an escape from his mundane reality. Caught in a world of lies and destruction Alex lost his job and found himself destroying his most important relationships. With a mentality of indestructibility Alex kept forging through, refusing to accept the consequences of his behaviour. Though there was no lightbulb moment that pulled Alex out of this reality, he found himself trapped in the web of his own lies, with dwindling relationships and a trail of destruction in his wake. Needing to break free Alex made a huge decision to move nearly 200km from home to Ballarat to start fresh. Far from the negative influences of home Alex still faced challenges personally and professionally but worked to deal with them in a more realistic approach, setting himself goals and working to make them a reality. With the help of some friends along the way, Alex has been able to build his PT business and continues to grow and develop in his role as a personal trainer and now an NDIS support worker.
