Daniel is a valued member of the PCYC Redlands team. With a strong passion for both fitness and helping others, he brings a positive and supportive energy to the gym floor, making fitness feel approachable and enjoyable for everyone he works with.
I have been a part of the PCYC Queensland team since mid-August of 2025.
I wanted to become a trainer to help people see that fitness does not have to be scary or boring. I love the positivity and support among customers and staff in the industry. Every day is a fun day at work!
I am currently training for a four-day hike in Machu Picchu in Peru!
My favourite Activ8 Group Training class to teach is Activ8 Fit & 50s class because the exercises vary so much and I love seeing people over 50 exercising and keeping fit – it’s so important at that age.
When I started my fitness journey I was 58kg. Just recently, I weighed in at 80kg and 10% body fat. I am very happy with how far I have come, and I am feeling confident in the body I have.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! The gym is not as scary as you think and most people love to help others.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
