Hayley from PCYC Fernvale is a busy mum of three who loves to take on any fitness challenge she can!
I have been working at PCYC Fernvale for one year now. I started my journey in February 2025.
After having my children, my love for being fit and healthy became even more important to me because I wanted to be a great role model for my boys. I also love all things fitness and being able to help others achieve their own goals and grow a love for fitness too.
I am currently training for HYROX in April and a 24-hour Heros WOD (workout of the day) every hour on the hour which is also in April.
I personally love all the Activ8 Group Training classes for different reasons! But if I had to choose it would be Activ8 Fusion as it is exactly what I enjoy my workout sessions to be – challenging with a hit of cardio and strength that always brings the energy!
Participating in HYROX last year was a personal achievement for me and I am hoping to do even better this year and beat my time.
Be your own competition and your own inspiration!

Zane has been working in the fitness industry for over two and a half years and loves every minute of it. He’s passionate about all areas of fitness, with strength training being a particular favourite. Outside the gym, Zane enjoys travelling, with Croatia topping his bucket list.
I’ve been part of the PCYC Lang Park team for just over a year now.
I’ve always been passionate about strength and conditioning, particularly its role in injury rehabilitation and improving performance.
I’m not training for anything specific at the moment, just focusing on getting back to my pre-injury level of fitness and strength.
My favourite Activ8 Group Training classes are the strength classes.
My favourite moment in my personal fitness journey was returning to sport after recovering from two dislocated shoulders.
Keep the small promises you make to yourself, as these are often the most important.

Kae describes herself as a lifelong learner at heart! Whether it’s in her nursing studies or through the amazing people she meets at the gym, her journey as a dog mum or from her interactions with her partner, Kae learns new things every day.
I’ve been with PCYC for just over a year now. My journey begun at PCYC Townsville as a Fundamentals Gymnastics Coach. I moved to PCYC Mackay and have been their Gym and Fitness Officer since March this year.
My fascination in human anatomy combined with the love for fitness and helping others led me to become a trainer at PCYC Mackay. I love having the ability to create a safe, welcoming space for people to connect and stay active.
Not at the moment, but I never say no to a good challenge when it comes along.
My Fit & 50s class is my favourite Activ8 Group Training class to teach.
Staying active has become a part of who I am, and I am most proud of that. It keeps me feeling strong, balanced and motivated throughout all areas of my life.
Be sure to celebrate every win – even the small ones.

Charlie loves both bodybuilding training and watching bodybuilding as a sport! He also enjoys talking with people on how to improve their hypertrophy training.
I started at PCYC Queensland a little over a year ago, in October 2024.
When starting my fitness journey, I was met with a lot of positive influences in my gym that helped me work towards my goals. I wish to be a positive influence on those who are starting out also and wish to help as many people see the benefits of all exercise!
I am currently doing basic high intensity cardio and hypertrophy training to keep the joints and muscles active. Getting bigger and stronger is always a positive also.
Fusion is one of my favourite classes to run. It’s always met with some anguish and complaints by the participants, but they always persevere and come out stronger and grateful after the session (they secretly love it too!)
My favourite moments are doing the fundamental classes at PCYC Gladstone. Seeing beginners come through and get comfortable and confident while training within the gym is always a highlight.
Study anatomy and human biomechanics. These skills are extremely valuable and can help bolster your arsenal when teaching exercises along with progression and regression of movements.

Staff member Susanna says she’s like Peter Pan – a kid on the inside. And although she’s 100% Italian, she admits she’s not a fan of cheese!
I started at PCYC Logan in November 2022 as Rhythmic Gymnastics Coach. After a couple of months, I also started the role as Senior Leader for the Little n Active program. I worked as much as I could while pregnant, then my baby arrived!
After a year’s break, I started at PCYC Beenleigh in November 2024 as a Fitness Instructor, and later on I had the opportunity to be a Senior Leader again the for Little n Active program here at Beenleigh – so I am currently doing double roles!
I’ve always worked with my body as I was a professional dancer and through movement, I can express my personality better than words.
When I arrived in Australia in 2018, I wanted to study to improve my English, so I decided to go for the Fitness Industry to learn more about the body and the benefits of training.
I am currently doing the Activ8 8 Week Challenge, and I am super happy because I feel much better than I did a few months ago. Also, I am going for at least a 30 minute walk every day. My goal is to strengthen my upper body and see some biceps!
Fit & 50!! So much fun, people are lovely, and we became a family. It feels like I am not working at all! Just love it!

Angela (known as Ang) loves fun hair and funky earrings, as bright colours make her happy!
I joined the PCYC Townsville team in November 2024.
During my own fitness journey, I experienced firsthand how much my general health and fitness impacted my daily life and mental health. The healthier I got, the more energy I had and the better my outlook on life. I studied to be a fitness trainer because I wanted to share that experience with others.
Not anything in particular! I am currently just working on improving my overall health.

Kerryn brings no fluff, straight-up support, smart coaching, and a quiet confidence that makes people feel at ease (and actually excited to train).
I joined the PCYC Bayside team in January 2025 but have been training here for a couple of years!
I became a trainer because I know how overwhelming the fitness world can be when you’re just starting out, especially if you’re trying to lose weight and feel confident in your own skin. I love showing people that it doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective, and that strength training can feel empowering (not intimidating).
I recently wrapped up a huge season of bodybuilding competitions, including the Natural Olympia in the US, but right now, my goal is to enjoy training for the love of it and build back up in my off-season.
Winning 3 world titles was incredible, but honestly, helping everyday people go from avoiding mirrors to feeling strong and proud in their bodies, hits harder than any medal.

When he’s not running Activ8 Fundamentals or Activ8 Group Training classes, he’s bringing the energy to PCYC Zillmere!
I joined PCYC at the end of 2024 and coming up on 10 months of my role as Gym Officer & Personal Trainer.
My journey in the fitness industry began as one of self-discovery, as I navigated my own weight loss journey and gained the knowledge to transform other people’s lives in the process. This is easily my favourite part of doing what I do, assisting others in achieving goals they didn’t believe were possible.
I am excited to get into MMA training as it’s always been a passion of mine.
My favourite personal achievement was working with a client & friend to achieve her goal of fitting into her mother’s wedding dress for her own wedding. We worked tirelessly across 6 months to achieve this goal and was extremely grateful to help in the process.

🔥 Favourite Sayings: “The taste of vomit after a workout is the taste of success.”
My fitness journey began 16 years ago as a volunteer. From there, I became a group fitness trainer and progressed to a personal trainer.
Everything! I love inspiring and encouraging people to achieve things they never thought possible. I love the lifestyle, feeling fit and strong, staying busy, and being a role model for my family and community.
I am always training to reach new personal bests, believing that progressive overload is the key to getting stronger.
My favourite moment in my journey would have to be completing Level 2 CrossFit training!
