MEET ADAM
MY UNIQUE JOURNEY
Hi, my name is Adam Pedicini. Adventure Fit wasn't a planned venture, it emerged from recognising the transformative power of personal experience. Blending years of self-development, physical challenges and a profound connection with people, Adventure Fit came about to guide others on their unique journey.
My unique journey started with growing up in Melbourne, Australia, and my childhood was marked by the separation of my parents and an undiagnosed ADHD diagnosis that would later shape much of my journey.
My escape and solace came through the great outdoors. Camping trips along the South Eastern coast of Australia were my earliest memories - little did I know that these ventures, initiated by my parents, would become the canvas upon which my life's passions would be painted.
The introduction of my stepfather, a Whitewater kayak instructor, added a new dimension. Adventures in Whitewater kayaking and camping in the wilderness became defining chapters of my early years. But it wasn't just about the thrill of the outdoors; it was about the resilience and commitment to healthy living that my mother personified and the creativity my stepfather infused into our adventures.
As my journey unfolded, mandatory outdoor programs in school revealed a natural affinity for the outdoors. At 14, during one of those camps, I found myself not just a participant but a teacher, guiding classmates on setting up tents. Little did I know that this would be the prelude to a lifetime of teaching - first, as I worked at the local YMCA, coaching basktball and lifeguarding, and later progressing to personal training.
THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD
My journey into the professional world took twists and turns. From a sports administration course to becoming an outdoor education assistant, and later pursuing my passion for performing arts, I found my way into a professional dance career that spanned 13 years. The stages of London, cruise ships and travels around the world were my backdrop.
Yet as my dance career waned, I discovered a new calling - personal training. Acting more vigorously I moved to the USA with my wife, where we set up a life and welcomed two beautiful daughters.
MY MANTRA
Wellness and Adventure, to me, are about finding joy in simplicity. The mantra, "adventure isn't what you do, it's how you think" underscores my philosophy. Preserving the inner child and the joy of exploration as we age are values I hold dear.
THE MOAB 240
The turning point came in the discovery of a 240-mile race in Moab, Utah. Running for almost four days straight was a soul-searching and rewarding experience that revealed untapped potential and a desire to offer more.
MY CURRENT MISSION
is clear: to empower individuals to rediscover their sense of adventure. By simplifying life's complexities and unleashing the boundless joy of exploration, Adventure Fit is more than a program; it's an invitation to embrace wellness through a personal journey of discovery.
Join me in this adventure: a journey to transcend physical challenges, embrace simplicity and celebrate the profound joy of exploration.
