Todd Liubinskas: The MH fitness director talks finding strength in community
If you haven’t heard of Todd Liubinskas yet, take a knee: he’ll be a household name in no time. Coach, business owner, charity operator and MH fitness director, Liubinskas is a force to be reckoned with. You wouldn’t expect a bloke with Liubinskas’s credentials to be a paragon of selflessness and humility. But it’s these qualities – combined with his stellar command of all matters fitness (and, yes, the fact he’s jacked) that sealed his position at the top of the Australian fitness pyramid.
The ultimate nice guy of the fitness industry, Liubinskas spent 17 years exploring all that elite conditioning has to offer, before founding three fitness-focused businesses: CSP Gym, CSP Athlete Factory and Coaching Zone Five Dock.
Todd's impact extends beyond the gym. He works with local youth in Sydney’s west, and with the charity Let’s Get Going, which provides mentoring for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as his most notable achievement of 2019: the creation of global running phenomenon The 440.
