Ty Phillips is the Australian personal fitness trainer behind The Body Lab, a program that helps busy professionals to transform their bodies. He is highly qualified in his field and has a significant social media following, including 19,000 Instagram followers. Alongside his work as a trainer, he is also a fitness model and will be competing at the WBFF Fitness and Fashion Show in Australia in 2023.
Phillips wasn’t always a paragon of health. Issues with weight as a child led to low self-esteem, which he coped with through clubbing and drinking. Eventually, after years of mental health and digestive issues, he decided to take matters into his own hands and get better. He swapped the club for the gym, putting in crazy amounts of hours to try and get that “perfect” bodybuilder physique, but something was still missing.
In 2009, Phillips began studying personal training and nutrition more deeply, and through a more integrated approach to health, his gut issues disappeared and his depression lifted. Inspired, he began sharing what he’d learned on social media and set up his successful Body Lab program, which like him, is continuing to go from strength to strength.
