Meet Amy,
Amy is a mum to 3 gorgeous, polite and very energetic boys! So, she has her hands full already however last year through all the chaos Amy gained her qualification as a Group Fitness instructor and we snapped her up straight away!
Amy's background is in education. She has taught in primary classrooms in Goondiwindi, Toowoomba, Dalby and Rockhampton before starting her family. She majored in Health and Physical Education as she believes encouraging young people to be active and involved in sports promotes a lifelong love of physical activity. Amy is now completing her Personal Training certificate as adult fitness training can be more flexible around her growing family.
She is currently running the mum's classes in Highfields and will do the occasional class in Toowoomba.

Meet Ronnie, her mum started taking her along to yoga as a teenager in an attempt to help deal with stress symptoms like insomnia and chronic re flux. Through learning and practicing meditation, breath and mindfulness, she learnt how yoga has the power to bring peace of mind and calm even in the hardest of times.
Ronnie strongly believes yoga and its mental, physical and spiritual benefits are for everyone, regardless of age, gender, flexibility or fitness level. She received her 200 hour teacher training certification at the end of 2019 and takes a yoga class once a month at the studio, where she hopes to create a fun and laid-back atmosphere for people to relax and dedicate an hour of the day just to themselves.
In her spare time, you’ll find Ronnie experimenting in the kitchen cooking for loved ones, out in the sun somewhere, or visiting friends and family.
