I started my interest in sports when I was about 6 years old as a gymnast, and I did gymnastics until the age of 15, then decided to get into aerobics for a change. I taught aerobics during the 80’s while still coaching gymnastics in a club on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I have been coaching gymnastics now for 27 years 6 of which have been here in Southland. I am also a qualified gymnastics judge. I am very passionate about fitness and love my job here at the gym. It is great to see people chase their goals and reach their dreams, if I can motivate them all the better – very fulfilling. I am always updating my qualifications every year in the gym and gymnastics area’s of my work
