The Turning Point...

HYROX soon became a passion!

It began at BFT in Altona North, where I was training 6 days a week. I had well and truly got my groove back with my fitness, but I was also nowhere near where I wanted to be.

We signed up for the relay - because a solo was not an option! "There's no way I'd be able to run that far", I told myself. I had no belief in myself or my abilities, in fact I couldn't run at all.

Two, one kilometer efforts was intimidating but it had to be done so we each picked our stations and got to work.

I ended up with Ski Erg (meaning I started the race) and Lunges. And boy, that start tunnel - especially for your first race - is not for the faint of heart... The energy, nerves and intensity of the music was wild! But I'd made it.

Now, looking back at that version of me and seeing how far I've come makes me so proud.

Since that relay I've raced Women's Doubles in Melbourne, my first Open Solo and another Mixed Relay in Perth, second Open Solo in Melbourne, third Open Solo in Brisbane, fourth Open Solo in Sydney and then my first PRO Solo in Melbourne! Equating to 8 races in two years.

HYROX lit the spark and created opportunity, but the real turning point for me was the HYROX x Active Escapes to Noosa!

I met some of my now closest friends on that trip, and most significantly I came home on the biggest high, but it also had me questioning my entire life. I felt like I could be doing more, especially in the health and fitness space so that's when I decided to do my Certificate 3 & 4 in Fitness...

From there, I quit my job in construction after 10 years living the corporate life, started my own business then went on to become a Sports Nutritionist, and a HYROX Performance Coach.

I’m so grateful for the opportunities that continue to show up and I’m excited for what’s to come! But ultimately, the fulfillment I get from helping other women find the best, most confident selves is my why and I’ll continue to show up for them so watch this space 🫶🏼
