  • In 2025, Wayne has made the thoughtful decision to concentrate primarily on his Female Bodybuilding Clients.

    This intentional shift means that he will be limiting the number of Male Competitors with whom he chooses to work. Consequently, any Male Competitors who are interested in working with Wayne will need to email Wayne direct - info@gronutrition.au.
