Staff spotlight: Ashley from PCYC Beenleigh
Ashley is the Club Manager at PCYC Beenleigh! He’s always laughing or smiling about something – that’s what he hears the most from members… or his head is a different grade of shine today.
When did you join the team at PCYC Beenleigh?
I have been with PCYC Queensland for just over a year now!
Why did you decide to become a trainer?
I became a trainer around 13 years ago purely because it was a hobby I enjoyed, and it was an industry I wanted to pursuit a career in. I love the fact that working in the gym doesn’t feel like ‘work’ if that makes sense, it’s an enjoyable environment where people are all there for their own reasons. Its’ great watching people on their fitness journey but even better being a part of it.
What are you training for personally now?
I am in a pre-prep phase for another men’s physique competition in May, so enjoying the higher calorie foods while I can.
What is your personal favourite moment in your fitness journey?
I helped a lady in Sydney get over anxiety of the gym to losing more than 26kg. We did a mix of different routines to keep it fresh and motivation levels high. The biggest obstacle was getting in the door, so I’d wait outside the gym with a coffee for her, we’d sit, have coffee then get to it. What an extra 15 minutes of your time can do for someone can be powerful.
