Sam Wood has had quite the journey. 

Coming into public knowledge in 2015 on the Australian version of the Bachelor, Wood was already established as a personal trailer. 

Since then he has gone on to write several award-winning books, ‘28 by Sam Wood’ and ‘7 Minutes to Better Health’.  

He owns Australia’s largest personal training studio, has exclusive supermarket deals, and is now launching a new programme to make Kiwis healthier. 

Wood told Mike Hosking that it doesn’t take much to fall on the wrong side of obesity statistics. 

He said that in a fast-paced world of convenience, clever marketing, and highly processed foods, a sedentary lifestyle can quickly result in weight gain.
