Glen-Waverley Personal Trainers
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Darren is a Glen Waverley personal trainer. After going to the gym for weight loss and fitness training with my personal trainer after. 3 years and achieving great results, I decided to train as a personal trainer and change my life helping others achieve their goals. This what's been the best life changing decision I have ever made and I enjoy making a difference in the lives of others daily.

Naomi is a Glen Waverley personal trainer. I grew up in the country and have always loved training outdoors and running. It is a great way to keep fit and healthy and clear your head.

I like to mix up the distances I am racing in order to challenge myself and will compete in anything from 5kn to a 42km marathon.

I have recently developed an interest in triathlon and am now training to do a full Ironman next year.

Shari is a Clayton personal trainer. I was a latent gym member until she got a personal trainer, joined a boot camp and wondered what I had been missing out on for all those years.

I then decided to complete my personal training qualification through WYN Training and quickly got rid of my office job to pursue a career where I actually got to make a difference in people’s lives.

I am just as happy to train people indoors or out and will surprise you with how much of a workout you can get with minimal equipment.

I am passionate about making fitness accessible to everyone – no matter how young or old you are, and no matter how fit or unfit you think you are, there is a fitness challenge waiting for you!
