Trusted Workout Recovery Experts

Mick is the founder of Primal Recovery Melbourne, a centre that redefines what recovery should look like in an era when mainstream wellness has lost its edge. Instead of candles, fluff, or surface-level “relaxation,” Mick built Primal Recovery as a space where recovery is treated like training: intense, effective, and absolutely essential. The centre combines ice baths, saunas (steam and infrared), red light therapy, vibration training, compression boots, and contrast therapy into structured systems designed to do one thing — deliver results. What sets Mick apart is his philosophy. He isn’t another coach pushing buzzwords or a clinic hiding behind white coats. He’s a straight-talking operator who believes recovery must tackle the root causes of fatigue, and pain — not just paper over the symptoms. Mick’s perspective comes from experience across multiple domains. With a background in bodybuilding, construction, psychology, natural health modalities, and music, he knows firsthand how the body and mind respond to stress, overload, and adversity. He has seen the toll that inflammation, poor circulation, shallow breathing, and nervous system fatigue can take on performance — not only for fighters, but also for everyday people trying to survive high-pressure lives. At Primal Recovery, he channels this knowledge into recovery protocols that mimic what the human body evolved for: cycles of heat and cold, stress and rest, exertion and recalibration. An athlete stepping into the Ctrl + Alt + Del protocol — vibration plate → sauna → ice bath → sauna → ice bath → red light therapy → compression boots — experiences a complete reset of circulation, inflammation, and mental state. It’s not theory, it’s not placebo — it’s physiology applied with precision. Beyond the tools, Mick has become a voice on the importance of nervous system regulation in trauma recovery, stress resilience, and performance. He is outspoken about how mainstream health systems often chase quick symptom relief while ignoring the underlying dysfunctions. For him, modalities like ice baths, breathwork, red light therapy, and contrast cycles are not gimmicks — they’re gateways to genuine adaptation and healing. Mick continues to push a movement that’s bigger than a single centre. It’s about proving that recovery, done properly, is not soft, indulgent, or optional — it’s the hard, primal reset that keeps people sharp, unbreakable, and ready for whatever fight life throws at them.

Longevity Expert | Founder of KinetikChain | Author I help high-performers engineer a "100-Year Body." As a Physical Therapist and longevity specialist, my focus is on Bio-Architecture: the science of building a physical structure that doesn't just survive, but thrives well into its eighth, ninth, and tenth+ decades. I am the founder of KinetikChain in Denver and the author of Adding Insight to Injury. My work moves beyond the "white noise" of standard health advice to focus on the mechanical and systemic "invisible risks" that accelerate biological aging. I specialize in bridging the gap between injury rehabilitation and elite-level longevity, ensuring that a "nagging" knee or back issue doesn't become the catalyst for a long-term physical decline.

Marc has over 20 years experience training: in a sports medicine/rehab setting, as a group exercise instructor, and as an independent personal trainer. In that time, he has worked with a diverse clientele with a wide variety of physical abilities, and has gained extensive knowledge of orthopedic injuries and their treatments. Along the way, he has developed an intuition for helping clients dial in complex exercises and accessing pesky muscles notorious for insubordination, earning him the nickname ‘The Glute Whisperer’. Additional experience includes weight training (Olympic lifting, power lifting, and otherwise), group exercise training, TRX, HIIT, and he has been running ski conditioning exercise groups for most of his career. My approach to training is founded on the ideas that workouts should be functional, straightforward, and efficient - think less ‘Instagram exercises’ involving various contraptions and weird equipment, and more functional, repeatable, and economical exercises that replicate your sport or activities; that they should be comprehensive - looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on specific parts or movements; that they should be educational - teaching the client to use his or her body correctly and efficiently in both sport and everyday activities; and lastly, that they should build confidence as well as strength, and that making a workout fun is as important as all else. Education: BS Kinesiology with Emphasis in Exercise Testing, Analysis, and Prescription Certifications: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Level 1 USA Weightlifting Coach (USAW-L1) Certification in Applied Functional Science (CAFS) Level 1 and 2 Certifications in Functional Movement Systems (FMS)

I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.

Garret Biss is a retired Marine Corps pilot, recovery coach, speaker, and trainer specializing in veteran mental health, resilience, addiction recovery, and the challenges of post-service transition. After leaving the military, Garret experienced many of the same struggles that affect veterans across the country, including loss of identity, emotional turmoil, and dependence on alcohol as a coping mechanism. That lived experience, combined with years of work in recovery and training environments, now fuels his mission to help veterans and the professionals who serve them better understand the deeper challenges of transition, healing, and growth. Garret is the founder of Diamond Mind, LLC, where he develops and delivers strengths-based, trauma-informed trainings and presentations for clinicians, peer support professionals, organizations, and veteran-serving systems.

In addition, he serves as Founder and Executive Director of Realize U 252, a North Carolina recovery nonprofit supporting individuals rebuilding their lives in recovery. His work sits at the intersection of lived experience, professional training, addiction recovery, positive psychology, and veteran-specific insight. Garret is especially known for speaking on veteran transition, identity loss after service, resilience, substance use, post-traumatic growth, and the internal barriers that can keep people from fully engaging in recovery or support systems. He is the creator of veteran-focused training and recovery programs designed to help people move beyond survival and reconnect with meaning, self-worth, and sustainable growth. Garret has presented for addiction professionals, treatment and recovery organizations, higher education audiences, and veteran-serving communities, and is valued for bringing practical insight, emotional honesty, and a fresh perspective that bridges personal experience with actionable strategies. Media, podcast hosts, and event organizers often turn to Garret for credible commentary on veterans, recovery, resilience, trauma-informed growth, and how to better support those navigating major life transitions.
