Ray Brown’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming a renowned business and life coach is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of second chances. Raised on a dairy farm in Waimana, a small rural village in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, New Zealand,

Ray's early life was shaped by the rigors of farm labour, weekend sports, and outdoor activities such as pig hunting and possum trapping.

Despite growing up in a loving and supportive family, Ray faced significant personal challenges, including struggles with alcoholism and reactive behaviour. By the age of 21, his life had reached a critical point—he had experienced homelessness, imprisonment, and nearly lost his life due to an intracranial haemorrhage. This near-death experience served as a pivotal moment, inspiring Ray to completely transform his life.

Upon recovering from a three-month coma, Ray relocated to the Gold Coast, Queensland, where he embarked on a new path. He pursued studies in personal training and small business management at the National Health & Fitness Academy, which set the foundation for his successful career in the health and fitness industry. Ray’s commitment to client satisfaction and results in a fast-paced, upscale environment quickly established him as a distinguished health and fitness professional.

In 2015, Ray founded one of the first F45 Training studios globally—F45 Training Labrador Studio. Under his leadership, the studio achieved seven-figure revenues within its initial years, drawing attention from business owners and leaders across various industries who sought to understand the secrets behind his extraordinary success.

With over nine years of experience in life coaching and business mentoring, Ray has dedicated himself to helping others achieve their potential. His entrepreneurial ventures have flourished, and he has empowered numerous clients to reach and exceed their goals.

Outside of his professional life, Ray is passionate about staying active and embracing life’s adventures with his wife and three children. Whether it’s stand-up paddleboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, or engaging in other physical activities, Ray embodies his belief in living life to its fullest.

Ray’s mission is clear: To serve, empower, and inspire through his expertise in business, mindset, health, well-being, and fitness. He is devoted to equipping others with the mindset and tools to achieve their own success and to positively impact those around them.
