“We are much more than Personal Trainers; we are your community.”

TANYA

STUDIO OWNER / COACH

I love to coach everyday people to build real, functional strength that supports them in life, not just in the gym.

I work with both women and men at all stages of life, helping them move better, feel stronger, and train in a way that actually works for their body. From postpartum recovery to navigating peri/menopause, or simply wanting to stay strong, capable, and independent as you age. My focus is on long-term, sustainable progress.

With a background in competitive body building and years of coaching experience, I understand that strength looks different for everyone. Whether you’re lifting for performance or just to keep up with life, I’m here to support you with no fluff, no gimmicks – just solid, effective training.

It’s about moving well, feeling good, and building a body that keeps up with the life you want to live.

SAMMI

PERSONAL TRAINER / COACH

I became a qualified trainer because fitness is a huge part of who I am. I’ve always loved being active, whether it was basketball, football, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or anything that got me moving. I stepped into a gym for the first time at 15. Did I know what I was doing? Absolutely not. Was anyone jumping at the chance to help a teenage girl figure it out? Nope. But I didn’t let that stop me.

I showed up consistently, learning from the posters on the walls, and after a year I joined a small women’s fitness group. That’s when I really started noticing changes physically and mentally. From there, I joined a gym full of people of all ages and levels, and that’s where I truly fell in love with fitness. It became my social outlet, my therapy, and a place where I built lifelong friendships.

Over the years, I’ve had amazing support from those around me, and that’s what sparked my passion to become a Personal Trainer. I want others to feel what I’ve felt. Supported, empowered, and proud of what their body and mind can achieve through consistency and effort.

At Elements of Strength, you’ll find the most welcoming crew of coaches and members. We’re all here to lift each other up and help you smash your goals one session at a time.

ETHAN

BOXING/KICK BOXING COACH

Hey, I’m Ethan, Boxing coach here at Elements of Strength!
I coach Boxing, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and I’ve been training in various martial arts for over 8 years. My specialty is stand-up combat, think fast hands and powerful kicks! I’m also trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling, so I know my way around the ground game too.

I’ve competed across Australia in MMA, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and I’m proud to be the current Tasmanian Legion Middleweight Muay Thai Champion.

Fighting aside, I’m a family guy and a big softy at heart and coaching is my true passion. I love helping people build confidence, strength, and the skills to protect themselves, all while having a blast and smashing their fitness goals. The mental and physical benefits of combat sports are next-level, and I’m here to share that with every student who walks through the door!

SARAH

PERSONAL TRAINER / COACH

My journey into the fitness industry started back in 2016 when I decided to chase my dream of becoming a Personal Trainer. But that same year, everything changed. I had a stroke at just 22 years old.

It completely turned my world upside down. I went through life-saving surgeries, speech therapy, and months of rehab. It was tough, I had to re-learn so many basic skills, but I kept pushing forward.

Fast forward to now, and here I am, living that dream. Becoming a PT and coach has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done.

Fitness has taught me so much more than how to move my body. It’s taught me how to overcome, how to stay disciplined, and how to keep showing up even when things feel impossible. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others, especially those who’ve been told they “Can’t.”

Just because life knocks you down or throws hurdles at you, doesn’t mean it’s the end of doing something you love or becoming something better. I’m here to help you build not just physical strength, but the kind of resilience that carries over into every part of your life.

If I can do it, you can too.

ELLIE

PERSONAL TRAINER / COACH

I’m Ellie, a personal trainer, coach & CrossFit athlete.

With a background in competitive swimming and a deep love for movement, I’m passionate about helping people feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies.

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology and I’m also a registered nurse, which means I bring both a science-backed and heart-led approach to coaching. I’m all about supporting people through every season, whether that’s building healthy habits, finding joy in training, or simply learning how to show up for yourself. Fitness should feel empowering, not overwhelming and I’m here to help you be your best self. So I’m looking forward to working with you.
