He successfully improved his physical health, but ran into mental health challenges during his first year of university. After being admitted into Fiona Stanley’s mental health unit, Lachlan hit rock bottom. He felt let down by the system, and only supported by his family and friends.

After leaving Fiona Stanley, Lachlan made it his mission to not only inspire and heal himself but also to find answers for other’s to do so as well. Lachlan decided to take up Muay Thai, a form of martial arts, where he’s now had 3 fights for 2 wins and one loss. Muay Thai is still a prominent part of Lachlan’s life and he is pursuing going pro. During this time, Lachlan attained his certificate III and IV in fitness from the Australian Health and Fitness Federation.
