Throughout his final year at university he completed his year-long placement working in the AUT Millennium Gym. Upon completion of his placement, he joined the Gym team as a Personal Trainer. For 6 years from the ages of 13-19 he competed at a national level in Olympic weightlifting training out of NorthSport Olympic Weightlifting, a foundation club within AUT Millennium. This is where he developed his passion for strength training, lifting weights and wanting to work within the health and fitness industry. Bayley has five years of experience in swim teaching. He became passionate about working in swimming and since June 2020, has been working with North Shore Swimming and their Polar Beer Youth Squad as their Strength and Conditioning Coach, with swimmers ranging between 15-18 years old.
