“Georgia started running at an early age (mainly to avoid her older brothers) and it quickly became apparent she had a natural athletic ability. Through school and university she was captain of various sports teams, playing hockey for the state and Netball for the England Youth team. She swapped sports for theatre and trained as an actor in London, working professionally for over five years and attributes a lot of her adaptability and confidence as a coach to this.
When group fitness started to take the world by storm Georgia found herself training in studios like Orange Theory and F45 and rediscovered the feeling she had lost when she stopped playing team sports. To this day, she believes training in a group environment is one of the best things you can do for your mental health and physical motivation.
Training soon became coaching which then became head coaching and gym management. Georgia has travelled extensively across Europe and the Middle East activating new sites for gym franchises and implementing coaches’ development programmes. Her three non-negotiables as a coach are to have the ability to communicate, to listen and to adapt. A good coach has knowledge but a great coach can communicate that knowledge and make it relevant for every individual.
Georgia stumbled across the 98 Instagram page while working in the Middle East in 2019 and leant on the programming heavily to motivate her through a challenging time in a foreign environment. She thought one day it would be very cool to work for these guys….! Cut to 2024, and a move to Australia, where Georgia now not only coaches but works 9-5 managing the affiliate network for HYROX Australia and NZ.
She says, I feel privileged to be a part of people’s fitness journey, it can be life changing. Fitness truly is for everyone. You don’t need qualifications, a certain ability level, or a particular body type—just a willingness to begin. “
Qualifications/Experience:
- Cert 3 and 4 in fitness
Hailing from Béal Feirste (Belfast, Northern Ireland), Eva is our newest recruit at 98Bondi.
Growing up she tried plenty of different team sports, but never quite found something that had her hooked and so spent her teen years relatively inactive and out of shape.
It wasn’t until studying Human Health and Disease, at university, that she began to develop an interest in wellbeing and the physical benefits exercise has, specifically in disease prevention and rehabilitation. Along with some of her classmates, it was during her first year at uni that she started to explore strength and conditioning training in a gym setting.
Completing her BSc in 2021 aligned nicely with being able to return to the gym and group training after countless lockdown home workouts. It was then that’s Eva’s passion for training solidified and she new she wanted to pursue a career in the fitness industry.
It wasn’t long until she got her training qualifications and began both 1-1 and group coaching full time.
Fast forward 4 years, her love for coaching only continues to grow. She is a huge advocate for the benefits that training has for the mind body and soul and loves sharing that with others and helping them discover their abilities.
Eva loves to see people train hard and help to guide them so they can feel that same sense of accomplishment, pride, joy and fulfilment that she lives for.
