💫 Member of the Month 💫

This month we're celebrating the one and only; Mary!
Mary is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet, a straight shooter through and through, and we wouldn't have it any other way. She keeps everyone honest, brings plenty of laughs, and keeps a watchful eye on everyone’s technique hahaha!

All jokes aside, we're incredibly lucky to have you as part of our community Mares. Your support, energy, and personality make a huge difference, and we're grateful for the vibes you bring! We love you, Mary!

As always, a massive thank you to our Member of the Month sponsor, @chimichangas_bulli !! David and the team generously donate a gift voucher to our winner each month and we couldn't be more grateful😍🙏🏽

💫We are stoked to announce, Sharyn as our Member of the Month for May💫

Sharyn is the consistency queen, showing up every day with zero excuses, no matter how icy cold our winter mornings get. Sharyn gives every session her all, she keeps us endlessly laughing, and her presence makes our little community even stronger.

We’re lucky to have her as our Member of the Month and even luckier to have her at FFC. We love ya Shaz!

A massive thank you to our Member of the Month sponsor, @chimichangas_bulli !! David and the team generously donate a gift voucher to our winner each month and we couldn't be more grateful😍🙏🏽

💫We are stoked to announce, Tina as our Member of the Month for April 💫

Her strength and fitness have grown out of sight, but what we love most about Tina is the warmth and kindness she brings to every class. Tina has this beautiful, uplifting energy that we just love!

Dear Winter,

Please be kind this year, the mornings are cold enough already!

WARMEST regards,

Alyssa ✌🏼

We’re excited to give a huge shout‑out to the wonderful Matilda, our March Member of the Month!

Matilda shows up with positive vibes to every single session. She gives 100% to every workout and will give anything a go, no matter how hard it is💪🏽 As well as hardworking, Matilda is also kind and fun loving and these qualities are exactly what makes her such an integral part of our little community💕

Congratulations Tilda — we love having you as part of the crew✨

A massive thank you to our Member of the Month sponsor, @chimichangas_bulli !! David and the team generously donate a gift voucher to our winner each month and we couldn't be more grateful😍🙏🏽

🌟 Congratulations to our February Member of the Month, Prue! 🌟 (…and of course her loyal sidekick, Penny)

Prue is the definition of dedication. As a super‑mum to twin boys and sweet Penny, she still shows up to class almost every day and gives absolutely everything she’s got. She’s a powerhouse in every workout, but what truly makes her shine is her kindness. Prue is the first to help, the first to encourage, and the one who somehow always ends up with a dog or (someone else’s) baby on her lap because she’s just that loving and caring. 
We’re so lucky to have you in our community, Prue — thank you for bringing your strength, sense of humour, and warmth to every session💛

A massive thank you to our Member of the Month sponsor, @chimichangas_bulli !! David and the team have generously donated a gift voucher to our winner each month and we couldn't be more grateful😍🙏🏽

T H A N K Y O U 💕

Another year done and dusted with my Fit For Change family and this year was a little bit special, because it marked 10 years since my first ever FFC bootcamp in Alexandria Park 🤯👵🏼

It's been a long journey since the days of me standing in the park with two clients, an A3 sized laminated sign and three kettlebells from Aldi (lol) and looking back, I can't believe I made it this far😂

Thank you to my wonderful clients for celebrating with me last weekend and I wish I got more photos of everyone at the party!! I am eternally grateful for my FFC family and I feel lucky to have each and every one of you in my life🤍

And to my wonderful trainers, @joshua_moose_ and @maxferri04, thank you for all your support over the last year. I couldn't have done it without you both!

So here's to another 10 (okay maybe 5, lol) years of dishing out burpees by the beach😜 and cheers to a cracking 2026!! 🥂🥳

Ps. Cake and cupcakes created by my amazing friend Bel from @trillabakery so please follow her page as she's amazing!

We're on the countdown to Christmas and I CANT WAIT😍

The FFC team will be taking a bit of time off to rest and recover after a big year so please check out our opening/closing dates ➡️

We look forward to seeing you for a fresh start in 2026 and happy holidays friends!😙

A special shout out to our trainer Max🙌🏽

Max has been an integral part of Fit For Change’s growth in 2025 and I’m excited to announce that Max will be taking on a more official role in 2026; coaching classes, Personal Training clients and coordinating business operations 👨🏼‍💻
 Max completed his Certificates III and IV in Fitness with me at UOW College and since then, he has continued to grow within the industry; working as a trainer and gym administrator to sharpen his skills in all areas of fitness.
Max is also about to begin his Bachelor of Exercise Science to expand his knowledge in strength, movement, and human performance 🏃🏽‍♀️

Max's coaching style focuses on functional training, technique, and consistency — empowering clients to develop lasting strength and confidence both in and out of the gym so if you're looking for a coach who supports you, pushes you AND makes you laugh, then Max is your man👊🏽

Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting changes we'll be rolling out next year!!! We’re stoked to have you @maxferri04😍

We're beanied up and ready for Saturday!!! Swipe to see the most photogenic and uncooperative member of the family ➡️ 🐕😂

We'll be selling 2023 and 2024 beanies on the day! All proceeds go directly to the @markhughesfoundation 🙌🏽

Who's getting keeeeennnnnn??? 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

This is Nic and she's one of the kindest, funniest, most generous and loving people I know.   And yet, three months ago, Nic got diagnosed with Brain Cancer. WTF.   This diagnosis rattled the whole community because none of us could understand why someone so special would be dealt such a shit hand. It just doesn’t seem fair!!  But Brain Cancer doesn’t discriminate. 1 Aussie every 5 hours is diagnosed with brain cancer and yet, brain cancer receives only 5% of all federal government cancer research funding !!! It feels helpless but GUESS WHAT!?

There is something you CAN do!

You can come down to Thirroul Beach this Saturday at 7am and help us raise money to give to the smart people at the @markhughesfoundation who can figure out how to cure this awful f#cking disease!!  I won’t make you exercise, don't worry (lol) but you will be able to buy…

✔️ Bacon and Egg Rolls
✔️ Cakes, biscuits, cupcakes, Portuguese tarts, slice AND MORE ✔️ Raffle tickets with some UNREAL prizes to be won ✔️ Mark Hughes Foundation Beanies!

Every dollar raised on the day will go directly towards finding a cure, improving patient treatments and supporting families who are facing their journey with Brain Cancer.  
So come down and show your support for our beautiful Nic and for every single Aussie battling this f*#ker of a disease 👊🏽  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH NIC 🤍

SUCCESS STORIES

Bub number 3 was initially my excuse not to exercise, but now he's as much a part of the group as I am! Best of all, Alyssa has created an incredibly supportive, fun exercise community that keeps me coming back each week. I have lost weight (hello pre-baby wardrobe) and gained strength, energy and friends. I highly recommend Fit for Change to anyone who wants to have fun while achieving your exercise goals, and particularly to Mums finding it difficult to fit exercise in.
