Kerry has been awarded the member of the month for coming to every group training class possible with a beautiful smile and always putting in 200%.
This time around, I have only been a member for 2 months. I was a long-time member 10+ years ago when classes were abundant.
PCYC Emerald is so good for our whole community, the young (but also the not so young). It provides a safe, non-intimidating place with a friendly atmosphere to come and workout (or not), feel included and supported, make new friends, have a chat and go home feeling better. With numerous programs for all ages, the price is affordable, gym is 24 hours, very, very clean with fantastic new equipment. I am so happy they run classes again! Bonus! Love them! I feel grateful to be part of a like-minded community. Thank you to all the amazing staff and volunteers for all that you do.
I have always played sport and tried to stay active, but it’s even more important as we age for bone density, mental and physical stability, weight management, immunity and general well-being (and keeping up with the grandkids). I have never been much of a gym person, but I absolutely love classes, so thank you for bringing them back!
Michelle is such a kind person and an amazing trainer with a wealth of knowledge. Thank you, Michelle, you have been a life saver.
My aim is to lose the flab and be more toned to feel comfortable within myself. Keep my body and mind fit.
Classes, classes, classes!! Especially strength and boxing.

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!

Trent has a friendly personality and is very motivated at our gyms.
A quick fun fact: he has a friend from reception that trains with him!
I have been a member for 3 months now!
I love training with my buddy Jacob, who’s the Member Services Officer at PCYC Deception Bay! I have started the Activ8 8 Week Challenge, and the team has really motivated me to complete the challenge!
My goals are to stay fit and active, keeping the motivation and want to challenge myself by currently taking part in the Activ8 8 Week Challenge.
As I’m doing the challenge, the exercises in the ‘Day Two (Pull Exercises)’ have been my favourite!
My favourite piece of equipment is the Bicep Curl Machine. I love the way it properly shows the work for it and stability.

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.

I have been a member for over two and a half years!
The staff are awesome!! I love the community and the members! The range of equipment is also fantastic.
I am a 71-year-old training for Camino Pilgrimage Walk that is held in Spain! It is 780kms. Last time I was in Spain, I made the 600km mark. I am now heading back to Spain this year to complete the final 180kms. I am also actively training to keep fit and healthy to spend time with my grandchildren.
The leg extension and leg curl machines by far, as they maintain my leg strength, which is important for my training.

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.

I have been a member for over a year now!
I love the people, social connections and gaining flexibility.
Right now it’s losing centimetres and gaining flexibility
I love the Activ8 Fit & 50 classes!
I would say squats!

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.

I am one of the foundation members of PCYC Maranoa. I was one of the first people to walk through the doors when the centre first opened in 2012!
I absolutely love the space, the facilities, and it feels like home. I enjoy coming to the group fitness classes and appreciate all the programs PCYC Queensland provides for the community, especially its engagement with youth and police to form better connections within the community. I really feel comfortable and safe when working out there.
I am training to walk the Camino de Santiago trail from Portugal to Spain!
I would say the rowing machine. It is perfect for everything. It targets the full body, a great way to get some cardio in, takes pressure off my joints.
