Brad is a strength focused trainer who loves helping people feel confident, capable, and unstoppable in the gym.
I joined PCYC Dalby just a few months ago and have really enjoyed becoming part of a community driven gym. Even in a short time, it’s been great getting to know our members and supporting their fitness journeys
I became a trainer because I love seeing people realise their potential. Strength training and conditioning can completely change someone’s confidence, and being able to guide that transformation is something I’m passionate about. The fitness industry gives me the chance to help people move better, train smarter, and build resilience.
I just completed my first HYROX Solo Men’s Pro! I went in with no expectations and just wanted to experience it and see where I was at. I ended up having an unreal time, pushed myself more than I thought, and learnt a lot along the way (with a lot of smiling for photos). It definitely lit a fire in me and I can’t wait for the next one!
My favourite Activ8 Group Training class to teach is Activ8 Fusion as I like helping people push themselves and build confidence in a positive environment. I find it rewarding seeing participants improve their fitness, energy, and mindset over time. I also enjoy creating a motivating atmosphere where people can challenge themselves while still having fun.
Some of my favourite moments in my personal fitness journey have been completing events like HYROX and a half marathon. Training for and achieving those goals pushed me both physically and mentally, and showed me the value of consistency, discipline, and resilience. It was rewarding to see not only physical progress, but also how much my confidence, mindset, and overall wellbeing improved through fitness.
Focus on consistency over perfection. Small improvements add up, and the strongest results come from showing up, learning good technique, and trusting the process.

You’ll spot Jeremy in the PCYC Fernvale gym most mornings. He was known for misplacing his 24/7 access fob more than sock through the washing machine, but thankfully he now has it all under control.
I joined in 2023 but due to injury I wasn’t training. However, I was happy to keep donating to PCYC Queensland. At the start of this year, I started training daily.
I love the people. PCYC Fernvale is a community full of fun, supportive staff and people. I’m always up for a chat while I’m here.
I had 4 years off training due to injury. I’ve been able to restart my training journey this year and I just love lifting heavy again.
My favourite exercise is a bench squat and my favourite piece of equipment is the squat rack.
Don’t rely on motivation. Discipline is the most important factor when training. Find a time that works for you and stick to it, even if you don’t feel like training.

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.

Margaret walks through the doors at PCYC Hills District five days a week, rain or shine!
Now retired, Margaret hasn’t slowed down one bit. When she’s not in the gym, she’s giving back to the wider community through her volunteer work and continuing her lifelong pattern of showing up for others.
I have been training at PCYC Queensland for over 10 years.
For me, it’s more than just a gym. It’s the community, the friendly faces, the clean facilities, and the freedom of a 24/7 gym that lets me train when it suits me. My gym friends are my social network, we train together, support one another, and share plenty of laughs along the way!
I have been exercising five days a week for more than 50 years… a lifelong habit built on consistency, resilience, and joy in staying active.
My goals are to keep moving, stay fit, maintain supple joints, and avoid unnecessary trips to the doctor. (She’s living proof that consistency works!)
My favourite thing to do at the gym is the leg press. (Margaret is still pressing over 60kg in her 80s!)

Jenny is a legend of PCYC Sunshine Coast! She will talk to anyone and enjoys having a joke.
In 1976, Jenny became a General Duties Police Officer and stayed in the Police for 40 years until 2016. In 2021 she received a Bravery Award, and during her career was a part of the Committee that developed the Domestic Violence Crisis Line.
I have been a PCYC Queensland member since 2005, joining the PCYC committee in 2006 and I am a Life Member.
My favourite thing about the PCYC Sunshine Coast is the gym environment that has always been friendly and a great place to make mates.
I have always enjoyed exercise as part of my life, in particular interval running, bike riding and hikes. My routine consists of gym sessions four days per week starting with interval running on the treadmill, intervals on the bike, cross trainer and rower and then finishing with weights afterwards.
My favourite piece of equipment is the treadmill for interval running on the random hills setting.

I have been a part of the PCYC Queensland team for over three and a half years, starting in June 2022 at PCYC Carindale and recently joining the team at PCYC Bayside.
I wanted to become a trainer because I love seeing people push themselves and realise what they are capable of.
I am currently training for the Brisbane HYROX and the Queenstown marathon.
My favourite moment in my personal fitness journey was completing my first marathon last year!

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!
