Evan Apolony
Personal Trainer/Group Training Instructor
Similar to many Aussie kids, my childhood was sport, sport, sport. Encouraged at a young age to pursue my dreams, I learnt fast that getting there would require a lot of hard work.
Around the same time, my father, who was severely overweight, decided a lifestyle change was much needed and thus his health and fitness journey begun.
Seeing him turn his life around and losing well over 40kgs, along with pushing myself in order to achieve my sport and fitness goals, I grew a strong passion for health and fitness and realised the impact I could have on other people and their lifestyle.
From that point on, it became my desire to learn, grow, and improve my knowledge, both to improve my own self, but also to share with as many people as I can reach in order to help better themselves.

Dean Simpson
Personal Trainer/Group Training Instructor
I grew up around Sport and Fitness, competing in many sports in particular Surf Life Saving events. I not only loved the sport itself, but I loved the training and fitness aspect and the benefits it provided me, and I knew on completion of high school that I wanted to turn this passion into a career. As such I completed my qualifications in fitness and Personal Training, and I now enjoy the challenge of helping others reach their health and fitness goals whatever those goals may be. During my sporting life I learnt the importance of individualisation of a training plan, and I bring this experience to my work as a personal training knowing that there is no single approach that is perfect for everybody. I look forward to working with clients with different needs and helping them to their ultimate goal.

I am a lover of everything fitness. I really enjoy surfing, running, weight training practicing yoga and being outdoors and in the ocean. I find there are so many different benefits from exercise, including physical, mental, emotional, social and making like minded friends! Helping clients achieve their goals and love fitness the way I do makes me extremely happy and proud! Having been a teacher of yoga since 2014, I decided to add personal training to my qualifications 4 years ago, so I like to combine everything I have learned over the years, including strength, mobility, stretching and mindfulness. I like to provide clients with a practical and functional training program to help become strong, healthy and happy in life.

After many years as an executive accountant in the corporate world, I have transferred my long-standing passion for fitness into my new career. I grew up in a world surrounded by competitive sports within the family, and this is where my passion and fitness DNA was moulded. I am determined to use my life-skills, mindset, and experiences to help my clients invest in themselves, and to enhance their physical and mental well- being.
Having never really been a natural athlete, my personal achievements have been driven off enthusiasm, discipline, and dedication, which I feel positions me well to support you in achieving your goals. I enjoy getting to know my clients to find out what drives them, to help design an appropriate, individualised plan that fits with their commitments and provides them the right balance to deliver their desired outcomes.
