A boy comes to me with a spark of interest, I feed the spark and it becomes a flame. I feed the flame and it becomes a fire. I feed the fire and it becomes a roaring blaze.
– Where did it all start?
It first started when I met a personal trainer 7 years ago, I wasn’t leading a healthy lifestyle and had no idea about nutrition. I quickly seen results through regular training, not only that but I learnt about fitness and nutrition (he even took me food shopping!). Within a few months I felt and looked the best I had in years.
My interest in health and fitness started to grow and I wanted to pass this onto people just like me when I first started. I completed my personal trainer qualifications and became passionate about helping other people achieve their health and fitness goals.
– Why CrossFit?
I’ve always been interested in sports and seen CrossFit on TV one day. I booked my first class and thought I was really fit. After my first WOD (Fight gone bad!) I had a new outlook on what fitness really was, and my life has never been the same since. The workouts are constantly varied and focus on functional fitness for everyday life. They’re fun, challenging and rewarding.
– Favourite thing about CrossFit?
My favourite thing about CrossFit is the community. Whether it’s a 1 rep max or a challenging workout, everybody supports you and cheers you on.

– Where did it all start?
My mum introduced me to CrossFit when I was 17, with the intention of becoming a better basketball player. Having never experienced something so challenging from a fitness perspective I was hooked.
– Why CrossFit?
I enjoy CrossFit because a good athlete needs this level of robustness that just isn’t found in other sports, it’s not enough to be able to do something as difficult as handstand pushups! You’ve got to be able to pick 100KG off the ground and put it above your head.
-Fav thing about CF?
My favourite thing about CrossFit is the atmosphere, everyone no matter what box or what competition supports one another. In my experience everyone has a sense of genuine accomplishment and camaraderie after completing a tough workout and it really brings people together and creates a sense of accomplishment.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right – Henry Ford
– Where did it all start?
In 2012 I was 20kg overweight, unhealthy and very unfit. My eldest Grand-daughter was 1, and I wanted to be a role model. I googled, found CrossFit, I booked for 1 session to see if I would like it. I went back every day from then on.
– Why CrossFit?
It was empowering. It didn’t matter how old I was and you will never stop getting better.
– Favourite thing about CrossFit?
I could go on for days but….The community, the support of your coaches and the other athletes (and yes, we are all ATHLETES) and I love the variety.
– Favourite movement?
- Pullups. They are certainly not my best movement, but I love them.

– Favourite Fitness/Motivational Quote
Don’t let your life come down to chance. Work for this. Bleed for this. Make someone close to you smile. Help them with this skill of yours and watch as the impossible becomes more and more likely every day. This is the battle plan.
– Where did it all start?
For me, CrossFit came after I had been doing boot camp and running for a little while. It was like nothing I had experienced before. The combination of feeling completely depleted yet totally elated had me hooked. Factor in the challenge of having to learn a new skill each class and it’s totally my jam.
I get just the same kick when I see members conquer their box jump fears or finally nail the perfect clean. It’s never the same two days in a row.
– Why CrossFit?
For me, the best part about CrossFit is that you are never ‘done’. There is always a new skill to master a new weight to challenge you. It keeps me coming back to the grind every time.
– Favourite thing about CrossFit?
Being able to work on my own in a group. It’s me vs me everyday, but the group is there to push you and keep you accountable.

– Favourite Quote:
It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
– Where did it all start?
Playing sport my whole life, I’ve always loved doing anything related to exercise to try and improve my own performance or improve my own recovery time from injuries, this led me down a path of study and I eventually came out knowing I wanted to be able to help other people to improve just like I’ve always tried on myself.
– Why Exercise Physiology?
There is no magic pill in the world that solves all problems but if there were to be a magic pill the closest we have is exercise, I want to learn all there is to know about exercise so I can pass that knowledge on and hopefully improve other people’s lives.
-Fav thing about Exercise Physiology?
Getting to meet and treat a wide range of people with all different injuries and conditions and seeing the look on people’s faces when they tell you what you’re doing with them is having a positive effect.

There is not a monster more dangerous than a lack of compassion– Master Splinter
– Where did it all start?
My love for soft tissue OT and fascination with the human body and anatomy started during university. I love that soft tissue OT treats a wide range of injuries and that no two days at work look the same. When I saw the difference soft tissue occupational therapy could make in people’s life, I knew that it was the job for me!
– Why Occupational Therapy?
I’ve always loved helping people. Occupational Therapy always seemed like the best way I could help others. I love that soft tissue OT allows me to meet and help so many interesting people!
– Favourite thing about Occupational Therapy?
My favourite things about soft tissue OT are getting people out of pain and seeing all the little positive changes in their life that occur when they are pain free.

Live and let go. Do not be held down by what you can’t control.
– Where did it all start?
When I first began studying Occupational Therapy I wasn’t sure which area I wanted to work in until I discovered Soft Tissue Occupational Therapy. It was my third year studying when I realised I could combine my fascination and interest of the human body with the components of Occupational Therapy.
– Why Occupational Therapy?
Growing up I was always playing sport and naturally thought physiotherapy would be a career for me, until I came across Occupational Therapy and loved how many possibilities there were to work in with so many different people. This career allows me to meet and help such a variety of people each day.
– Favourite thing about Occupational Therapy?
I love how holistic Occupational Therapy is. When working with people it’s not black and white and there are so many factors that can influence someone. Occupational Therapy has the privilege of working through the different factors which can help someone feel better and help them reach their goals.
