In February 2016 we started training with some friends in our little shed at home, and as the months passed more people asked if they could join us. If I were to coach, I needed qualifications, so I commenced and qualified for Certificate III and IV in fitness, this is how WODFIT emerged.

We registered with the council, and I ran night classes from my home shed. During the day I worked full time in a childcare centre.

As the years went on, we outgrew our little shed at home so signed a lease to an old commercial shed in Pialba. It was a little run-down shed that I adored, and I loved having everyone enjoy our space, helping them to become stronger and change their lives.

After 12 months in this shed, we outgrew the space once again and moved into the building we have currently. We have been here for the past 5 years.

We never set out to make it a business, it just all fell into place, and still to this day I just think of it as a place for us to all train together.

Our goal

We are simply people who love to train, and be happy and healthy.

We are not here to be the biggest, most client-based gym. I prefer smaller classes and
we are not in competition with anyone.

I don’t want my classes to be so full that I go home and think, ‘Did I even talk to so and so in the class today?’ I try and have a connection with each member and get an understanding of their life and needs.

I’m extremely grateful for the team I have, nothing would be possible without them. It’s incredible to have people around me supporting the gym and loving it, and the members, as much as I do.

Across the four gyms, we now have 17 coaches including two childminders.

WODFIT has come a long, long, way from my little home shed 7 years ago.

It hasn’t always been smooth sailing and people come and go as life changes, but gosh I’ve learned a lot. Not only about myself, and what I want out of life, but also about interacting with people and understanding we all need different things.

Mistakes have been made, (I wouldn’t be taking risks if I didn’t make any) but learning to take something away from each mistake has helped me grow within myself, and for me, that is the most valuable tool I can learn.

I love these gyms and just want everyone to feel included and a strong sense of belonging when they walk through those doors.

Everyone wants different things out of their training, some want to be there socially, some lift as heavy as they can every time they train, whilst others work hard but do not worry about the number on the bar, just as long as they work hard.

But the one thing I maintain is that they all get treated the same.

Outstanding Milestones for us were:

Kids gym opening in 2021
WF CrossFit 2023
JungleFit Kids 2024
