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 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.

Meet Michael! He’s one of our bubbly and cheeky Gym+Fitness members at PCYC Ipswich.
I have been a member of the PCYC Ipswich for over 3 years.
I love the gym atmosphere and mate ship that I have found at the PCYC Ipswich. The space is well kept and has great new equipment. The atmosphere is also made by the people who are easy to talk to.
During my fitness journey I never thought that I would get so big and strong. I fell in love with the process of beating my own numbers and seeing the results on my body. With consistency I felt that the journey was fun and easy. I hope with consistency; I will find my way to the body building stage and win.
My favourite movements are anything chest related, however if I have to choose one, I will choose the incline bench press.

If you’ve ever stepped into the PCYC South Burnett gym and been greeted with a big smile and an infectious energy, chances are, Lori was in the building! She welcomes everyone with enthusiasm and is always ready to push them to their limits.
💪 Favourite Exercise: Burpees (of course!)
🔥 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!
