Meet the team

Our Geelong fitness trainers will have you fighting fit in no time!

Our gym coaches Geelong locals rely on aren’t just instructors, they’re competitors and specialists in their own discipline.

Looking for a personal trainer in Geelong? You’re in the right place. Most of our coaches take one-on-one clients alongside the classes they run, so you’re never training with a stranger reading off a script. You’re working with people who fight, compete and coach here every week. Tell us your goal and we’ll match you with the right coach. See how it works on our personal training in Geelong page.

Our trainers aren’t just anyone – they’re dedicated fighting fit professionals. With championship Muay Thai and boxing titles, fitness qualifications and a dedication to a healthy lifestyle with daily exercise, our trainers know what it takes to get fit and stay healthy. Browse our team profiles and check out our timetable for classes or contact us to enquire about one-on-one training.

Every one of our gym coaches Geelong trains alongside members, not just in front of them. Our BJJ coaches, Russell Marston, Shawn Murphy and Tiffany Joyce, teach everything from beginner fundamentals to competition prep. Billy, Rob and Garry lead boxing, Rung Samanthong runs Muay Thai, and Jacob Prosser coaches MMA as an active fighter himself. For one-on-one work, our personal training team, Myles Foster, Rosie Scott, Kate Collins and Rob Stoiljkovic, build programs around your specific goals. Carbon Gym was founded by Johnny Bourke, who still trains alongside the coaching team today.

Most of our gym coaches Geelong members train under have competed at a state or national level in their sport before moving into coaching, and several are still active competitors today. That competition experience carries directly into every class and personal training session at Carbon Gym, whether you are a complete beginner or training for your first fight. Book a free first class or contact the team to ask which coach best fits your goals. Every gym coach Geelong members train with also appears on our class timetable, so you can see exactly which classes each coach runs before you turn up. New members get a free first class with any coach, no obligation, so you can find the right fit before committing to a membership.
