Burnill Bobee

Hi my name is Burnill Bobee, I'm a former athlete, I used to be a junior tennis player. When i was 19 i decided to move into boxing and muay thai. My grandfather was a boxer so i wanted to carry on the legacy. I then started to also get deep into nutrition and cooking. 3 years ago I got qualified as a group fitness instructor. I haven't looked back and now i run boxing and fitness classes.

Paul Riley

I completed my Certificate III and IV in Fitness at the MAX International College for Fitness Professional in 2021 where I am very proud to say I achieved the best Final Knowledge Check result in the college’s 31 year history. I am a strong believer in scientifically based Functional (movements that mimic everyday activities) Compound Exercises (movements that use multiple muscle groups) to maximise the time in each training session. I am all about enjoying exercise and partnering with my clients to ensure each training session is productive and beneficial. A comprehensive explanation of the target muscles used in each exercise is customary. I was also part of the Australian Team for the 1997 World Triathlon Championships in Cancun, Mexico

Tammy Curtis

I am the owner and head trainer at Tammy Curtis - Fit for All personal training studio newly relocated in Ocean Grove, Melbourne. My interest in the industry came about when I retired from the Australian Women's Indoor Volleyball team and wanted to follow a fitness passion. It has given me many experiences including working as a trainer in a major London law firm, managing corporate facilities in Melbourne and Auckland, and working across a number of commercial facilities and fitness businesses such as Fernwood, Step into Life and the Australian Institute of Sport. For 10 years I was a lecturer at Australian Fitness Academy teaching the Cert III & IV in Fitness. This is where I got to share my 20+ years of knowledge in the industry. My passion lies in the rehab aspect of fitness and is the current direction of my business in the Bellarine Peninsula.

Hrisi Konstantopoulos

My biggest goal when I started in the Group Fitness Industry was and still is to help others reach their goals in a friendly and safe environment. To help others be more confident in group fitness classes. As I was once shy and lacked self-esteem and self-confidence, I wanted to help others, especially women, step out of their comfort zone and show them, that with a supportive group they too can reach their goals.
