Mark McGaw, former professional footballer and Gladiator, transitioned into fitness in 1995 by completing Australia’s only Fitness Trainer course. Inspired by a trip to the USA, where he attended the Arnold Schwarzenegger Bodybuilding Show and met the marketing director of a major fitness education provider, he introduced distance learning to Australia. He secured the rights to a course developed by Dr. Fred Hatfield, a record-breaking powerlifter and mentor.
With a passion for educating others using the latest research, McGaw has spent over 25 years training individuals in fitness. His football career included playing for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Penrith Panthers, and South Sydney Rabbitohs. He also represented New South Wales in multiple State of Origin series and played for Australia in the 1988 Rugby League World Cup Final.
McGaw gained further recognition as "Hammer" on Gladiators (1995–1996) and modeled for Lowes Menswear alongside other rugby league stars. He is the founder of the Mark McGaw Institute of Sports Science
Who is Mark McGaw?
Cronulla, New South Wales, McGaw’s journey in rugby league began with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, a team with which he became synonymous. His debut in 1983 marked the start of an illustrious career that saw him become one of the most celebrated centres of his time. His playing style was characterized by a blend of speed, agility, and strength, making him a formidable opponent on the field.
Nearly 30 years ago, back in 1995, Mark first graced our screens as Hammer, one of the original Gladiators. Fast forward to today, and he’s back in the arena, but with a twist – he’s the show’s new referee, keeping a keen eye on the rules. Mark, with a friendly yet firm approach, shares his wisdom with the contestants: “Remember to balance your dreams with what you’re truly capable of – and that’s a tip straight from an OG [Original Gladiator]!”
Don’t miss the excitement as the legendary Mark, our original Gladiator, steps into the arena once more in the new 2024 Gladiators show! Tune in from January 15th Channel 10 to catch all the action, drama, and heart-pumping challenges, with Mark at the helm as the dynamic referee.

Here are some of the key reasons why some people complete online courses more quickly than others:
1. Time Management Skills
• Effective Scheduling: People who are good at managing their time can allocate consistent hours to study, avoid procrastination, and stick to a schedule. This results in faster progress.
• Prioritisation: Some individuals prioritise their courses and treat them like a job, ensuring they complete tasks quickly and efficiently.
2. Motivation and Goals
• Strong Motivation: Those who are highly motivated or have clear goals often work more efficiently and complete assignments quicker.
• Clear Milestones: People who set specific, measurable goals and timelines for themselves can stay focused and finish their courses faster.
3. Previous Knowledge and Experience
• Prior Knowledge: If a person has prior knowledge or experience related to the course content, they can move through the material faster because they may already understand key concepts.
• Related Experience: For example, someone with prior experience in the fitness industry may be able to breeze through parts of a fitness course compared to someone who’s new to the subject.
4. Learning Style
• Learning Style Preference: Some people are faster learners based on their preferred learning methods. Visual learners may absorb content more quickly through videos, while auditory learners might excel by listening to lectures. Hands-on learners may thrive in practical aspects and move faster.
• Active Learning: Those who actively engage with the material (through notes, quizzes, discussions, or teaching others) can often retain information better, speeding up their learning process.
5. Self-Discipline and Focus
• Consistent Focus: People with better self-discipline often complete their tasks without being distracted, leading to faster course completion.
• Minimal Distractions: Those who can eliminate distractions, such as social media, noisy environments, or multitasking, are able to focus better and work faster.
6. Support and Resources
• Access to Support: Learners who proactively seek support from tutors, classmates, or online communities can get answers more quickly, helping them complete assignments faster.
• Study Resources: Having access to extra resources (like books, videos, or guides) can also help people learn faster because they can reinforce or supplement what’s taught in the course.
7. Proactiveness
• Self-Starter: Some people are naturally proactive and begin the course immediately, completing sections ahead of schedule. They don’t wait for motivation to strike but take action regularly.
• Problem-Solving: When faced with difficulties, faster learners often find ways to solve problems themselves or efficiently seek solutions, which helps them keep moving forward.
8. Technology Savviness
• Tech-Savvy Learners: Those who are comfortable using online platforms, digital tools, and technology can navigate and complete tasks more quickly. This also applies to finding online resources, troubleshooting issues, and using course features efficiently.
9. External Factors
• Work/Study Environment: Learners with a dedicated and quiet study environment are more likely to complete their courses faster. External distractions like family, work, or other commitments can delay progress.
• Flexibility and Availability: Some learners may have more free time to devote to an online course, such as people who are not juggling multiple jobs or family responsibilities. More time means faster completion.
10. Course Structure and Design
• Course Format: Some courses are designed for self-paced learning, allowing students to complete modules as quickly as they can, while others may require waiting for instructor feedback or have fixed deadlines, which can slow down the pace.
• Interactive and Engaging Content: Courses that have interactive components, practical assessments, or hands-on activities may be quicker for some learners to complete if they are already skilled or highly engaged.
By understanding the different factors that influence the pace of learning, you can identify strategies to enhance your own learning speed, whether by improving time management, setting clear goals, or leveraging prior knowledge.
