About Me

I’m Glen Barrett, founder of bfg.coaching; a personal training service built to help people move better, build strength, and improve their quality of life.

I created bfg.coaching because I’ve lived the process of rebuilding myself; physically, mentally, and emotionally - and I know just how powerful the right support can be.

My Story

Sport has always been in my blood. I was a professional cricketer and held Zimbabwe’s national pole vault record for eight years. I played something every day; movement was life.

Later, I spent over two decades in senior corporate roles with large multinationals like Mars, Blackmores, and Circana. On the surface, everything looked like it was on track, but behind the scenes, I was battling.

I’ve endured a spinal fusion, disc replacement, a hip replacement, multiple shoulder surgeries, and chronic, ongoing pain. I’ve faced severe mental health challenges on multiple occasions. And more recently, I was diagnosed with ADHD; a piece of the puzzle that finally helped everything make sense.

Why I Coach

All of that taught me one thing: it takes far more than just a training plan to rebuild.

It takes strategy. Patience. Mental resilience.

It takes confidence, consistency, and someone in your corner.

That’s what I offer through bfg.coaching; real, honest, lived support from someone who’s done the work and is still doing it.

How I Help

Whether you’re:

• Returning from injury

• Managing chronic pain

• Struggling to stay focused

• Or just want to get stronger, fitter or grow some muscle

…I get it. I’ve lived it, and I’ll coach you through it.

There’s no judgement here. No fluff.

Just grounded, empathetic coaching to help you rebuild strength; physically and mentally, and move forward with confidence.
