Guy Leech reigned supreme in longer Ironman races throughout his 15-year career, maintaining an unbeaten record in events lasting more than 2 hours—an unparalleled achievement in Ironman history.

In 1984, amidst 120,000 spectators on a sweltering day at the Gold Coast, a young Manly athlete defied the odds to etch his name into Australia's sporting annals by winning the inaugural Coolangatta Gold.

This first professional Ironman race, inspired by a film of the same name, traced the Gold Coast shoreline from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta and back, spanning 46km. One hundred of the world's fittest surf athletes vied for the chance to make history and claim $20,000 worth of gold bullion.

Guy also clinched the World Ironman Championships in Vancouver, Canada, in 1986 and triumphed in the World Ocean Paddling Championship in Hawaii in 1994. In 2006, he emerged victorious in Australian Celebrity Survivor Vanuatu, the second edition of Australian Survivor.

Upon retiring in 1996, Guy's passion for fitness became his new focus. Over the next 15 years, he built a business centered around his name and lifestyle, leading to his branded clothing range being sold in department stores across Australia and his signature sporting equipment being featured in top outdoor retail stores like Anaconda.

Simultaneously, Guy began training some of the world’s most renowned figures. International superstars, including Madonna and George Clooney, sought Guy’s expertise for high performance and physical transformation.

Since turning 60 in 2024, Guy has remained passionate about sharing his insights into longevity and helping people achieve the longest healthspan possible for a long and happy life.

Following the tragic death of one of his best friends, Guy channeled his energy into making a difference for those suffering from heart attacks. Heart180 is now the no.1 distributor in Aust supplying thousands of these life-saving devices to the community. One of their devices saves a life every 6 weeks.
