TRAIN WITH US
Coach Caroline
With nearly five years of experience as a competitive strongwoman and over two years coaching, I’ve built my career around helping people discover just how strong they can be.
As an athlete, I’ve proudly represented at the highest level, achieving:
-
U73s Australia’s Strongest Intermediate (2022)
-
U73s Second Strongest Woman in Australia (2023)
-
13th in the world at Official Strongman Games (2024)
These experiences have shaped the way I coach — bringing real-world knowledge and proven strategies to help lifters of all levels progress.
I’ve worked with all kinds of lifters — from complete beginners learning the basics to athletes chasing competition success. Whether your goal is to feel more confident in the gym, build muscle, or prepare for a big event, I’ll give you the tools, support, and structure to get there.
My coaching style is simple: meet you where you’re at, focus on good technique, and build confidence one lift at a time. Strength isn’t just about competitions or heavy weights — it’s about progress, consistency, and enjoying the journey.
I believe in always learning and growing, both as a coach and an athlete. That means every session is about more than just training — it’s about creating an environment where strength, knowledge, and confidence thrive.
Coach Rachel
With four years of experience coaching, I’m passionate about helping people become stronger, more confident and more capable than they ever thought possible.
My own training journey has shaped the coach I am today. With 13 years of strength training, more than 10 years of pole dancing, competing in bodybuilding in 2023 and navigating injuries, chronic pain and endometriosis, I understand that progress isn’t always a straight line but there is always a way forward.
That is something I bring into my coaching every day. I want my clients to understand that their circumstances don’t have to define what they are capable of. Whether life throws you an injury, a busy season, a physical limitation or a hurdle you didn’t expect, we can adapt, keep showing up and continue moving towards your goals.
I specialise in coaching body transformations, whether that is fat loss, building muscle, great glutes, pregnancy and postpartum or developing a confidence that flows into every part of your life.
As a coach I will support and challenge you. We'll build up your skills, remove confusion and develop a structure that works around your life and needs. I am your biggest supporter and will always push you to realise just how possible it is to achieve the goals you've set for yourself.
