Jake Farrugia

Jake Farrugia is a certified fitness professional and nutrition specialist operating independently out of Goodlife Health Clubs South Melbourne Central. Specialising in sustainable body recomposition, structural muscle hypertrophy, and advanced event/race preparation, Jake bridges the gap between high-end aesthetic changes and athletic engine-building.  Moving away from un-tracked routines and restrictive starvation diets, Jake operates on a strict, metric-driven framework. Every training cycle utilises precise, app-delivered data tracking to manage progressive overload variables, monitor lifting tempo, and ensure absolute joint safety.  His nutrition coaching is fully intentional - specialising in strategic macro habits and managing internal bloating or inflammation. Whether guiding a beginner to safely drop 10kg of fat, helping a lifter break a strength plateau, or preparing an athlete for race day, Jake’s methods are built to engineer physical and mental results that last.

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.

Connor Horgan

My name is Connor and I'm a new to industry Personal Trainer based in Langwarrin, Victoria! My training background starts during my time in high school when I decided that I was going to join the Royal Australian Navy after high school. I started training at the age of 15 to meet the entry requirements for service which involved a combination of bodyweight strength and cardio based aspects. I joined the Royal Australian Navy in 2019 where my love and passion for fitness grew exponentially as I needed to keep myself mentally and physically 'fighting fit' so I could be at the top of my game both here on land and out on deployment at sea. After I left the Navy, I decided that I was going to pursue both my love of fitness and dedication to serving the community by becoming a Personal Trainer and helping those around me also 'fight fit'. Whether it be physically, for mental health, or just an excuse to go out and lift heavy things while having a chat, I'm here for it.
