Where do you live and why do you love it there?
I live at Boxer’s Creek, which is the perfect distance to and from Goulburn’s CBD. It’s quiet and peaceful here and nature is literally at your doorstep. This morning I had cows at my doorstep!
What do you do for a living?
I’ve owned BM Fitness for two years, and have just moved here to these bigger premises at shop 3, 238 Sloane Street. I describe my business as a private, personal and nurturing fitness studio. I also support small businesses in the area by retailing health and wellness products made by locals. I sell beautiful candles, room sprays, diffusers, scrunchies and even things for babies such as bibs and burp cloths. I also carry Love Lottie Co products as well as things like protein mixes and drink bottles.
What drew you into owning a fitness studio?
I was a dancer when I was a little girl, and then as I grew up, I was always into sport. In Year 10 I did work experience at “Anytime Fitness”, and then after Year 12 I obtained fitness qualifications. I also worked in the fitness industry in Queensland for a while and began to see why women might not like going to a gym. I decided to open up my own fitness studio to provide exactly what I thought was missing at other places.
What gives you the greatest joy in your job?
I love it when people leave my place with a smile on their faces. People tell me what a nurturing place it is and that they feel amazing coming here.
What are your hobbies?
Pilates is my go-to hobby – it’s the way I debrief after a busy day: it’s my “me time”.
