Dave is a Brunswick personal trainer. My name is Dave Caruana. I've been in the fitness industry for the past 11 years. I've been a staff member of Dohertys 24/7 Gym the whole time as a trainer and manager, working with some of Australia's finest athletes and alongside Tony Doherty, owner of Dohertys 24/7 Gym.

Alastair is a Brunswick personal trainer. I have been a personal trainer for 10 years and in that time i have seen the industry explode and now implode.

The status of personal trainer has never been more easy to obtain. The reality is that these days many of the people who gain there qualification have NO EXPERIENCE in training themselves, so I question exactly how much they can enhance the training of their clients.

I have a background in bodybuilding, and my basic training principles revolve around strength training, high intensity cross training and athletics. I believe a strong body is not only an aesthetically pleasing body, but it is also highly functional - a term that is widely misused in this modern era of personal training.

I have worked as a personal trainer for Fitness First, and other health clubs, yet I am proud to base myself at Doherty's 24:7 Gym, a gym famous for serious people and serious training.

I look forward to seeing you down here soon.

Be sure to ask for 'Little Al', i'll be here, it is, my home.

Loretta is a Brunswick personal trainer. I have been committed to a healthy and active lifestyle since the age of 7 when I began a dancing career that spanned 14 years.  During that time I also participated in competitive equestrian events, and other casual sports such as tennis and athletics.  I then became a regular aerobics participant, and subsequently became a qualified group exercise instructor.  In 2003 I began weight training and conditioning my body, and it was then that I really noticed big changes in my strength, body, and mind.  That led to me becoming a Figure (body sculpting) competitor at a national level.  I have a business degree and spent many years working in corporate finance roles.  I have life coaching skills, and I am working toward a Sports Psychology qualification at Monash University.

Demi is a Preston personal trainer. I have always been very athletic since primary school and have been involved in various sports such as sprinting, netball, basketball (all-round sports person). I
slowed down for a while when I had a little girl 10 years ago, to become a stay home mum. At about 35 years of age, I was given the opportunity to train at a gym.

Nicholas is a Preston personal trainer. Ever since I was young, I would always watch Bruce Lee and Arnold. I always wanted to be a martial artist. I started training (on and off) when I was 16 years of age and only got serious when I was 22 and also started martial arts and kickboxing. Two years into this, I enjoyed it so much, I developed a passion and desire for teaching and training. This lead to my decision to become a personal trainer.

Following this, having thoroughly enjoyed it and knowing I had the discipline I decided to go into bodybuilding and have been doing bodybuilding for 4 years now. I find that through bodybuilding, the 3Ds (Desire, Discipline, Determination) have helped me achieve my goals and results. Even though it is not easy to follow the 3Ds, I love to share all my experience with all my clients and aim to educate them on each aspect of the 3Ds.
