A Canberra Lawyer has turned into a health and wellbeing guru, encouraging his Tongan community to stop the cycle of over-eating through his Brumby Fitness group.

Toni Tu’ulakitau said the formation of the Brumby Fitness group was purely accidental when he and 5 others made the lifestyle change after he experienced his own health scare earlier this year. 

Toni said the group isn’t only about physical fitness but also about encouraging social engagement to improve a sense of community and mental health.
