MCNALLY’S RISE

WHEN Luke McNally was a young boy, he dreamt of becoming a fireman.

As a teen he trained hard to build up enough muscle so he could join the fire brigade and began selling supplements to other bodybuilders in 2006.

He was soon accepted as a firefighter, a profession he worked in for 12 years.

In 2008 he opened his first Mass Nutrition store in Tweed Heads with a friend.

McNally was named Mr. Australia in 2012 and opened up more stores across the country before being named the 2014 Gold Coast Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

But in late 2015, McNally was arrested after police allegedly found a 3D printed handgun, ice, chemicals and an inactive drug lab on his Mudgeeraba property.
