Plus Fitness Medowie

To all our members and potential members, with the new years classes and PT fast approaching its time as trainers we introduce ourselves, who we are, what we do, and let you all know a little about our lives away from the gym.

Jackie Kelly: 

My name is Jackie and I have been a Personal Trainer for almost 2 years. I have always been into health and fitness playing a range of sports growing up including Touch Football, Rugby, Athletics and Swimming. 

My amazing family & friends have influenced me immensely through lifelong commitment to various sports such as professional Sprinting, Representative Rugby, Softball, Rollerblading and elite level Body Building. It is through these experiences that I sparked a curiosity for the way the human body adapts to different styles of training and different disciplines.

Outside of the gym I'm a mum to 3 amazing kids. It was through having children and stepping back from a lot of the sport I had been playing that I found myself feeling uncomfortable and needing to get back into fitness. Needing help, I hired a PT and began my own journey back to a healthier place, sparking my love for fitness once again, which led me to studying to become a Trainer myself. I wanted to bring my love for fitness and a healthy lifestyle to as many people as i could. 

As a trainer i specialise in Weight loss, Group training, HIIT and strength training and am currently studying a cluster of courses that work towards me becoming a Master in Functional Training.  

Whilst my personal preference when training myself is Strength Training, when training my clients, I take each individuals needs and abilities and work with them, pushing them towards their goals whilst teaching them to listen to their bodies and learn to work outside their comfort zones. 

Having been on both sides, I have a greater understanding of the struggles that people face from needing to lose weight, dealing with injuries and also training for an event or just trying to improve fitness. I always try and work on the mindset that comes along with a lifestyle change as well as the physical and nutritional side of things.

In my Group Fitness classes I design each workout to get the most out of every member in a short amount of time. Each workout can be altered for any fitness level and any restrictions or limitations people have, making all classes suitable for every member. You will get a mix of bodyweight, weighted and cardio based exercises depending on which classes you attend. All of them aimed at working hard and having fun while you get fit. 

I look forward to watching you all achieve greatness in 2017 and beyond!! 

See you in the gym!!

I love helping people achieve their goals! I love passing on the wealth of knowledge I have accumulated over many years of Personal Training.

I spent 12 years in the Defence Force; MINDSET is everything. With a strong mindset & self belief you can achieve anything.
