Jeffery, an exercise science student at the University of Auckland and passionate powerlifter, uses fitness to promote overall wellbeing, with discipline and delayed gratification shaping his life and relationships.
My name is Jeffery, and I’m currently studying exercise science at the University of Auckland. I’ve always been deeply passionate about health, exercise, and fitness — not just for the physical benefits, but for the way they impact every part of life. For me, exercise is more than just a way to stay fit; it’s a tool to improve overall wellbeing, bringing balance, resilience, and light into all areas, whether that’s mental health, personal growth, or daily challenges.
As a dedicated powerlifter, I’ve learned the value of discipline and the power of delayed gratification. The lessons I’ve gained under the barbell — patience, persistence, and the long-term payoff of hard work — have shaped how I approach my career, my relationships, and my friendships. Fitness, for me, is about building a stronger, more grounded version of myself in every aspect of life.
