Hi, my name is Steve Tapper. I am owner and founder of U-Turn fitness. My sporting background originated in motor racing. I raced superkarts at an international level which resulted in several state and national titles.

Cycling and strength training began as a form of cross training to supplement my karting. I subsequently finished karting and have focused mainly on cycling since. Although I have continued strength training to keep learning new techniques and routines.

I gave up my position managing a large transport company to follow my passion, which is helping people become fit and feel good about themselves again.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of having a client tell you they are starting to get compliments about their appearance or no longer get puffed running up the stairs – it’s fantastic.
