If you want a tailored program to help you reach your goals, or feel that you'd benefit from the additional accountability or instruction, a personal trainer can be a fantastic resource.
The benefits of having a Personal Trainer
- Challenge you to get to the next level if you’ve hit a plateau
- Help you use the equipment properly so you get the most out of your workouts and avoid injury
- Create a program for you to train for a specific sport or upcoming event
- Provide the motivation you might need to work harder than you do on your own
- Provide the accountability you need to stay motivated with your training program and eating plan
- Design a program to help with recovery from an injury or illness
- Some PTs are also trained in nutrition
How to get started
- View the bios of our Personal Trainers and fill out the booking form
- Your chosen PT will be in touch to ask a few questions about what you want to achieve, and to provide info about their process and fees.
- If you don’t opt for one particular PT, we allocate enquiries on a round robin basis
- You’ll start with assessing your fitness levels, taking measurements, getting your health history and setting some goals.
- Your PT will develop a tailored plan, show you how to do each exercise correctly and work with you to keep you on track.
- Our PTs offer one-on-one or small groups (2-3 max) sessions, using the facilities in our gym.

Hi, my name is Sophie.
I am a HUGE advocate for movement! As said by the famous Carol Welch, “Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional and mental states.” It has done for me, and I believe it offers the same effect to everyone with the proper dose.
I like to think of my approach as a holistic one, incorporating mindset, nutrition, and fitness.
A little more about myself:
- I’m passionate about learning
- I love connecting with loved one’s and friends
- Nature alongside the gym is my favourite place to be!
- I’m an avid tea drinker!
I love connecting and meeting people, please do not be a stranger, I’m always up for a chat!... I certainly don’t know everything, however if I don’t know the answer to your question, I will find out for you.

I'm relatively new to the fitness world but am absolutely loving it...

For around 30 years, I worked in Human Resources for medium to large organisations in Sydney. However, a move to Canungra seven years ago turned me into a Jill of all trades.
In December 2022, I completed my Certificate III Group Instructor, and by June 2023, I earned my Certificate IV Personal Trainer from TAFE Queensland. I also recently finished a Boxing Course with the Australian Combat and Exercise Group and have taken on a new challenge: a 6-month Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Certificate through ASCA.
You might spot me leading a class or puzzling over the coffee machine at the reception desk. If I look a bit perplexed, don't worry — it just means I'm deep in concentration.

Physical activity from Netball, womens rugby, Touch and gym workouts have always been a pivotal part of my life, but after having my beautiful kids my physical and health journey became secondary and a rollercoaster ride.
Before working here, I was one of many Live Fit Yarrabilba foundational members. Here I am 3 years on still working out in the weights room and now in the job I'm absolutely passionate about, helping people achieve their health goals!!
If you see me on reception or around the joint come have some laughs and a chat.
