Gina is a much-loved staff member of the PCYC Pine Rivers community who has a love for both fitness and support work.
I have been a part of the PCYC Queensland team for over ten years now!
I wanted to become a trainer because I enjoy sports and I enjoy helping people with physical needs.
I have started my Pilates journey and am enjoying all the complexity and the results I am seeing.
My favourite Activ8 Group Training class to teach is Activ8 Fit & 50 with our senior Gym+Fitness members.
I have rehab with an allied health professional to assist a client with significant injuries. His gratitude for what I could help him achieve was very satisfying and rewarding.
Enjoy what you do so it is fun and easy.

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.

Meg from PCYC Bayside loves running and thrives on the challenge it brings. Whether she’s training for her next event or helping others build confidence in the gym, she’s passionate about pushing limits and celebrating progress – both her own and her clients’.
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!
Stay consistent and trust the process. Progress comes from showing up. You’ll never feel worse after exercising!

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!

This month we’re celebrating Rodney, who brings his competitive spirit and infectious energy to PCYC Hills District. Having played soccer from childhood into his 30s, he brings that same drive to every workout and class!
I have been a member at PCYC Hills District since 2024!
I love the community at PCYC Hills District – whether it’s a workout, a class, or even our Christmas social games.
I was a competitive soccer player from early childhood through to my 30s. When I first joined PCYC Hills District, I was dealing with limited mobility and leg strength following several surgeries, including a smashed heel and muscle removals.
My goals were to improve my strength and movement, reduce pain, and improve my overall quality of life. With consistency, hard work, and the support of the coaches, I’ve been able to achieve those goals. I’m stronger, moving better, in less pain, and feeling good again.
My favourite workout is the lat pulldown – it feels great, helps my posture (and I get to sit down for it!) My favourite class is BoxFit, as it really ticks all the boxes.
Seeing progress every week keeps me motivated – and maybe beating a few people in class while I’m at it!

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.

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.
