    Little about Jay

    I have had a passion for sport and fitness my whole life – it’s in my blood. In my youth I was a state athlete (100m, 200m, 400m, long jump & triple jump). I firmly believe that athletics is a great foundation for any athlete. Netball has always been my greatest passion and has been a large part of my life since I was 8yrs old. I played in the NSW Waratah Cup for 8 years and captained many teams. I represented NSW on many occasions including a debut in the Australian Netball League in 2015 for the NSW Waratahs. The highlight of my career without a doubt was being asked to train with the NSW Swifts in 2016 after the birth of my first child, an experience I will never forget. In 2017 a bad knee injury halted my career but gave me the opportunity to experience exercise and fitness from a new perspective. I am now a mum of two young beautiful boys and fitness is still a huge part of my life. I believe that fitness and health is a lifestyle choice. If you want to achieve your physical goals and maintain them you need to make time for regular exercise and eat a balanced diet. I love good food and exercise and am passionate about helping you find the right balance to achieve your results. I believe the keys to success are: consistency, having a positive motivator (ie. sports goal, strength goal, positive training partner), setting realistic/achievable goals, giving it a good crack (AKA effort – yes, you need to sweat a bit) and having fun! I hope that once you start getting results you will love exercising as much as I do.

    Little about Tonu

    I’ve been passionate about fitness from a young age, and have played competitive sport for as long as I can remember. I was playing tennis competitively from around 6 years old until my mid teens, travelling around Australia for National Youth Tennis competitions. During this time I was also progressing with my Football career, and after being accepted into a semi-professional team at 15 years old I made this my main focus. My football career has taken me around the world, playing professionally in Estonia for a year before making my debut in the Australian professional league with the Central Coast Mariners. In my time with the Mariners I was lucky enough to win the Lucas Neill Scholarship, and receive mentoring from Lucas who at the time was playing with the Australian football squad. During this time I decided to start focusing on a career path in the fitness industry, as well as continuing to play football semi-professionally.  I’ve now been working at Millennium Health Club for 2 years, and I have found it very rewarding being able to see the transformation in my clients both mentally and physically. Through my years of professional football I have learned to never underestimate the power of working in a team. Having a personal trainer creates a team, in which you get the best possible support, knowledge and advice you could hope for whilst exercising in a fun environment.

    Little about Kaye

    Sport, fitness and embracing a healthy lifestyle has been an integral part of my lifestyle since I was a teenager. I grew up being an "all rounder" with heavy involvement in netball, dancing, running and water polo. During my early 20's I was introduced to the sport of boxing. With 6 years of actively competing in the sport my achievements have included: -NSW state champion -National champion -3x Australian representative at the Women's World boxing championships -Captain and member of the 2014 Commonwealth Games boxing team -2016 Silver medalist at the World Championships (#2 in the world) I have been an employee of Millennium Health Club since back in 2003, giving me 13 years experience within the fitness industry. I am an advocate of maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I believe both, regular exercise, and a nutritionally balanced diet is essential for everyone. The benefits crossover from health to aesthetics to self confidence and happiness. I definitely "practice what I preach" and genuinely enjoy teaching and inspiring others to achieve their personal fitness/health goals. The top 4 factors that I believe will affect successful results are: 1. mindset (clarity on what you want to achieve) 2. Understanding the basic nutrition fundamentals (you can NEVER outrain a poor diet) 3. Enjoyment (fun during exercise) 4. Consistency (results don't come without this)

I have extensive experience as personal trainer and fitness instructor in the health and fitness industry ranging from a part time involvement beginning in 1999 to full time from 2001. My love of fitness and commitment to a healthy lifestyle has always been a way of life for me.  As a child, I grew up with many opportunities to be involved in various individual and team sporting activities.  I found a love for competing in swimming and progressed through to being part of the national swim team. Netball has been another great passion that I have pursued and I continue to play at a high competition level while also now coaching and mentoring my daughters’ team. My enjoyment of sport and being healthy meant that it was natural to pursue a career where I could continue being fit and promoting health and wellness to others. I take great enjoyment of working with my clients and love that I have the opportunity and privilege to help other achieve their goals. My flexible and understanding approach helps me to build a genuine rapport and friendship with my clients – some that have lasted for years! We design comprehensive programs together that focus on individual need and targets to help them stay motivated and dedicated in developing new habits. We lead such busy lives and since becoming a mother myself, I have a greater perspective on what is really important for everyone I work with. It is my aim to encourage my clients to make exercise and healthy living fun and easy to do. Whether it is a 20 minute run, early 6am personal training session or developing a healthy diet log, it all comes down to focusing on those positive choices we can make each day that will improve and enhance our individual healthy lifestyles.

    I have been working at Millennium now for over 10 years & have grown and changed as a trainer over this time. I have loved sport all my life and have always enjoyed being active. As a child I had a passion for Athletics, which I still continue to this day. My strong interests were sprints and hurdles and I still regularly train in these two areas. I believe that a balanced and healthy lifestyle are key to achieving your goals. Health & fitness come from good lifestyle choices and through regular exercise and a nutritionally balanced diet, your goals should easily be within reach. Consistency is key when working towards achievable goals and I enjoy motivating my clients towards these and developing an enjoyment for fitness.

    I have always been passionate about keeping fit and healthy and spent my younger years playing any and every sport I found an opportunity to. From the age of about 13 i started playing European handball and from the ages of 16-18 years I played for a Australia. However my career in fitness started right out of high school when I started teaching primary school physical education and gymnastics for a private company. While doing this I started studying a Bachelor of exercise and health science so I could become a high school physical education teacher. This had always been my dream as i believe keeping active when we are young paves the pathway for staying active and healthy as adults. After 2-3 years of teaching, I started teaching group fitness at Millennium and this was the start of my passion for keeping adults active and healthy while achieving their fitness and lifestyle goals.

I have over 6 years' experience working as a sports scientist for professional and elite sporting teams in the Australian National Rugby League, US Major League Soccer & NWSL, and the Australian Para-Cycling Team.

    Little about Sam

    Sams journey started 14 years ago when she began her own fitness transformation and became completely hooked on Health and Exercise in the process.   The great thing about Sam is she doesn’t prescribe the same old tired training regimes to everyone. She treats each client differently recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another. This means that you end up with a program that is effective, targeted and enjoyable. And we all know that if you can enjoy the training, results are so much easier to achieve.   Sam herself trains with a mixture of styles and philosophies. She incorporates weight training, distance running, HIIT training and innovative cardio techniques such as functional training into her daily exercise routines. You see Sam red faced and puffed in the gym as she trains. After all the best trainers practice what they preach!
