    Boot Camp, Community and Chasing Dreams with Steph McKay

    In this episode, Bex chats with Steph McKay, owner of Chasing Dreams Fitness in Tamworth and a familiar face in the Fitness Education Online community running The Bootcamp Hub. Steph shares how she went from avoiding school sport altogether to building a ladies only outdoor boot camp community, and why she was so shocked to find out she'd been named a finalist for both Personal Trainer of the Year and Group Fitness of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards. Steph talks through what a typical day looks like juggling boot camp sessions with her work in real estate, why she leans into the flexibility and fun of outdoor group training, and how something as simple as getting clients outside can make a bigger difference than they realise. She also shares her best advice for handling low turnout sessions without losing the energy, why staying organised but never too rigid is key when coaching groups, and how mentoring helped her take the business side of things more seriously. She wraps up with a simple reminder for anyone starting out: find your passion, keep learning, and push through the parts that feel uncomfortable at first.

    Simplify to Amplify with Mojo Mentor Loz Antonenko

    In this episode, Bex sits down with Loz Antonenko, also known as the Mojo Mentor, a coach, author of the Amazon number one bestseller "Get the F*ck Unstuck," and finalist for both Personal Trainer of the Year and Pilates Professional of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards. Loz shares the raw, honest story behind her work, from being diagnosed with a serious autoimmune condition at university, to building a successful business, to the years of grief, loss and burnout that followed, including the loss of her husband and a period of competitive bodybuilding that spiralled into orthorexia and a breakdown. It's an incredibly candid conversation about how she found her way back through the simplest possible tools. Loz breaks down her Mojo Method and the idea of "handbrake habits," the five basic daily things (eating, breathing, sleep, movement and hydration) that most people are already doing but not doing well, and why getting unstuck starts there rather than with anything flashy or complicated. She talks about what actually sets her apart as a coach, her lived experience rather than a textbook, and leaves PTs with a strong reminder to apply the same tools they give their clients to their own lives, because burnout doesn't discriminate.

    Business, babies, and barbells with AUSactive Finalist Caterina Bozzi

    In this episode, Bex sits down with Caterina Bozzi, prenatal and postnatal fitness coach and founder of Collective Fitness Yoga, a women's only gym in Mildura, Victoria. Caterina has been named a finalist for Personal Trainer of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards, an award she also won back in 2023, this time reflecting the work she has done since becoming a mum to triplets. Caterina shares how she got into the industry as a teenager, her typical week juggling private clients, running the business and family life, and the moment she almost stepped away before deciding to grow instead. She also talks about moving into the pre and postnatal space after her own experience of motherhood, why she trains clients based on how they feel rather than a fixed program, and how offering strength, Pilates and yoga under one roof lets her support women at every stage of life.

    Stop Delivering a Service. Start Creating an Experience - With Dan Williams

    Dan Williams is an accredited exercise physiologist, founder of Perth-based Range of Motion (20 years strong), and business mentor. In this episode he introduces Gobsmack Consulting, a practical framework for turning ordinary client touchpoints into experiences people actually talk about. Most fitness professionals are delivering a good service, but good service is just the cost of entry. Dan walks through how to map every client touchpoint, identify the pits and the forgettable middle, and redesign them into moments that create a genuine emotional response.  The big takeaway: in an AI-driven world where everything is being scaled and commodified, the most powerful thing you can do is the opposite. Do the unscalable.
