🚨NEW EPISODE DROPS TOMORROW🚨
⏰ Episode 130 goes live at 0500.
This week’s guest is a little bit different, she’s not a veteran, but her story of fitness, business, community and completely changing direction in life is one worth hearing. 💪
A mum of four and granny of five, she went from a career in banking and financial planning to completing her Cert III & IV in Fitness after people started noticing her own results and asking her for advice.
Then in 2013, redundancy forced a change of direction. She started training at Anytime Fitness Cooroy, applied for the manager’s job and started the very next day.
By April 2014, she’d bought the gym. 🔥
What started as essentially buying herself a wage became something much bigger.
🏋️ Around 400 members grew to 900
👥 A team of 3 grew to 10
🤝 And most importantly, she built a genuine community where people feel like they belong.
In this episode we chat about her journey, taking risks, running a business, the importance of community, and how fitness can be about so much more than just training.
For veterans especially, getting back into a gym can sometimes be that first step towards routine, connection and finding your people again.
This is a great conversation about backing yourself, changing direction and building something that matters.
🎧 Available from 5:00 AM tomorrow on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.
