With over five years of experience teaching both mat and reformer Pilates, I’m deeply passionate about empowering individuals through mindful movement and strength-building. My practice is rooted in the belief that Pilates isn’t just exercise—it’s a pathway to better posture, core resilience, improved wellbeing, and a more grounded mind–body connection.

In addition to my Pilates certification, I hold a Diploma in Holistic Health and Wellness Coaching, which enriches my approach by combining movement education with lifestyle guidance for a truly well-rounded wellness journey.

Whether you’re new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, my sessions are crafted to be welcoming, aligned with your personal wellness goals, and tailored to support long-term transformation.

With a lifelong passion for movement that dates back to the days of leotards and leg warmers, I’ve spent decades in the fitness industry—motivating, educating, and walking alongside others on their health and wellness journeys. While strength and high energy have always been part of my world, I’ve grown to truly value the power of stillness.

That’s where Yin Yoga comes in.

Yin offers a deeply restorative experience—a chance to slow down, stretch deeply, and reconnect with yourself amidst the chaos of daily life. It’s the perfect complement to the fast-paced fitness lifestyle, creating space for healing, reflection, and inner calm.

In every class, I aim to hold space for you to breathe, release, and simply be. Whether you’re craving balance, recovery, or a moment of stillness, I’d love to welcome you to the mat.

Michael is one of the youngest members of the BodySwitch team, bringing a lot of energy and drive as he studies his Cert III in Fitness and works towards progressing into personal training.

His motivation to train came from wanting to change how he felt about himself after being “the fat kid at school,” and fitness quickly became a way for him to build confidence, strength, and discipline. While he’s flexible in his training approach, Michael is known for encouraging people to push a little harder than they think they can.

Having played a variety of sports throughout his life and training in the gym on and off for the past few years, Michael understands what it’s like to start, stop, and find your rhythm again. His goal is to help clients achieve whatever personal goals they set for themselves — both inside and outside the gym — while ensuring the gym always feels like a safe, supportive space.

Outside of training, Michael has a love for musicals and Muay Thai.

Jonathan was introduced to Muay Thai at a young age and quickly developed a deep appreciation for its discipline, structured training style, and self-defence foundations. Through his training journey, he experienced powerful improvements in both his mental health and personal confidence, which sparked his passion for helping others feel the same.

His preferred training style combines boxing with strength and conditioning, with a strong focus on circuit-based group training. Jonathan loves the energy of group environments, believing they build not only physical strength and endurance but also connection, motivation, and a strong team atmosphere—much like the training culture used by fighters.

With over eight years of on-and-off training experience across Muay Thai, boxing, and strength and conditioning group classes, Jonathan brings a well-rounded and practical approach to every session.

His mission is simple: to help clients level up, smash their goals, build confidence, and support their mental wellbeing through challenging but fun training sessions. Jonathan believes fitness should feel empowering, motivating, and genuinely enjoyable to show up for.

Outside the gym, Jonathan enjoys freestyle street dancing with friends during the week, keeping him active, creative, and connected to the community.

Michaela has been qualified in fitness since 2017 and fell in love with training because of how it makes her feel — stronger, fitter, and more confident.

Her preferred training style is HIIT, and she has been running outdoor bootcamps since 2020, helping people push past self-doubt and realise what they are truly capable of. What Michaela enjoys most is watching people grow in confidence and happiness as they surprise themselves with what they can achieve.

At BodySwitch, Michaela supports our community across the Crèche, Group Fitness, and Personal Training, bringing energy, encouragement, and care into every space she works in.

Outside the gym, Michaela is a big dog lover, so if you have a dog, she will probably ask to see photos.

Maggie is one of the wonderful faces you’ll see in our crèche—and behind the scenes keeping the gym sparkling clean. She plays a huge role in creating a safe, welcoming environment for both our members and their children.

Why childcare?

Maggie loves the honesty and humour of children and believes it’s incredibly important for young kids to be surrounded by positive, happy people during their early years.

Experience

Maggie has over 33 years’ experience working with children. She began her career as a nanny, completed her Diploma of Early Childhood in the 1990s, and has worked in the industry ever since. Her background includes many years as a childcare director, working as a childcare provider for the Family Court of Australia, and continuing to nanny and babysit for families in the community.

What she loves to see children achieve

Maggie’s goal is to provide a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel happy and secure—so parents can enjoy their workout knowing their little ones are well cared for.

A little more about Maggie

Maggie runs her own cleaning business (you may spot her around the gym), has been nannying for a local Ipswich family for the past six years, and is a proud mum to a 21-year-old daughter who is studying law, working as a paralegal, and racing cars. In her spare time, Maggie enjoys gardening, renovating her home, and spending weekends at the racetrack.
