Neil Gardner, known as "MonstaDwarf" due to his 5ft 2" stature,  is married with children. Born in the United Kingdom, he lives in Melbourne, Australia. He could more appropriately be called an 'an ex-IFBB pro' as he relinquished his pro status to return to the amateur ranks in recent years. Competing since 1981 in various countries including Australia, Jordan and the USA, Neil has also been involved in bodtbuilding in other capacities such as judging bodybuilding shows and as a gym owner. In 2008 he purchased the 'Winning Physique' gym located in Victoria  from former owner Craig Lucas.
