Tara Jenkins is from Melbourne and has been in the health & fitness industry for the past 8 years & has been a high-level athlete since the age of 10.

She began her fitness career in track & field. She traveled all over Australia competing in 400m, 800m, discus, race walking & the odd pentathlon. She realized at the age of 10 that if she works really hard at something & dedicates herself to it, she can go places & achieve some great things. This cemented her mindset in life & still has that same work ethic to this day.

Once she became tired of track & field, she learned Gridiron & bodybuilding simultaneously as they complemented one another. She represented her state as a full back & running back & also gained sponsors within the bodybuilding industry as her athleticism & physique were in good shape to help promote these companies.

Towards the end of her gridiron career (she was about 28), she dived headfirst into CrossFit as she loved that it was so hard and there's so much to learn. She became obsessed with getting fitter, stronger & perfecting the movements. She focused all of my energy on becoming a better athlete every day and by the age of 31. She also represented Australia in the CrossFit Games.

She has been working on her strength & mindset every day in my garage & holding back until we get it all clear and she can refocus on competing again.  

Alyssa Lombardi is a Certified Running Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. She has been involved in sports all her life and has been at every level from beginner to college stand out and conference champion and this is how she did it. She started out playing soccer as a young child and loved it but found herself loving the running part of it the most. When she got to high school, she did both soccer and track but had a clear love for running. Even though she had a love for running, she wasn’t always the best. She started out running 2-3 miles at a time around 12 minutes per mile during practice, but she always raced pretty fast. She got down to running 5:15 for the mile and under 19 for a 5k.

She then decided to quit soccer and just focus on running so that is what she did. She got to college and she focused only on running. She started out her freshmen year one of the slowest ones on the team, barely being able to keep up with the team on practice runs.

Social media started as her own journal. For the first 2 years, she didn’t tell anyone she had a fitness profile. She felt a little embarrassed by it. But, as time went on, she saw she was connecting with more people so she thought of using her growing platform to help people just like she wanted to from the beginning.

From then, she started posting more educational posts. She has found that many people have learned a lot from her posts so her small social media page that she was keeping a secret has turned into a page where she helps runners succeed and hit goals they never thought they would.

Jenny Blake "the Nutritionist” helps ladies who work out build muscle and decrease body fat. She does a mix between Crossfit and BodyBuilding training. She's a nationally qualifying bikini and figure competitor. Through her experiences, she’s learned that Nutrition has the biggest impact on the outcome of their training. Once she learned the “nutrition strategy” for changing the shape, she went all in and became a Licensed Nutritionist. Now, she has helped hundreds of ladies build muscle and decrease body fat through my program Create Your Shape.

She's 32 years old and has been slow traveling the world for about 3 years now. Over this time she has lived in 5 countries. She even went to a Crossfit gym and took classes that were in a different language. She also loves trying all of the local cuisines. She's very proud that she has all of the nutrition tools she needs to live this lifestyle and still build my shape which motivates me to share it with others.

Currently, she's updating all of her systems in the Create Your Shape program so all of her ladies can implement their dashboard, macros, and implementation tools more efficiently. Between that project and reviewing check-ins, photos, and bloodwork for her clients, she stays pretty busy.  She's also in a Functional Nutrition course which requires a lot of studying. She loves learning all things about the body and nutrition and she finds this very challenging and interesting.

Sarah Bainwohl is a spin instructor at a studio called Hustl and Flow. She is obsessed with her job there (in a good way!). Instructing changed her life.

When she was a kid, she used to be super shy and reserved. Her parents made her try every sport out there and every single time, she lasted about one week and then would come home crying saying how much she hated it. Until she started synchronized swimming. One coach saw potential in her and moved her to a competitive-level team. She stayed in the sport for 10 years, winning both provincial and national titles. Swimming became her life and loved every part of it.

When she was about 17 years old, she realized she didn’t love it quite as much as she once had. So, she quits. After years, she had the opportunity to try out for Hustl and Flow. She finally became an instructor and her life changed. She started walking more confidently, talking and thinking more positively, and of course, the way she looked changed. 

About 6 months into instructing, she had a really amazing opportunity come her way. A spin studio in Australia reached out to her and wanted to fly her out to live and teach there for one year. Unfortunately, exactly one week before she was supposed to leave, she slipped and broke her arm. The Australia offer was instantly taken away, and not only that, she could not instruct either. 

While she was heartbroken at first, she's the type of person to make the most of a situation. She realized this is the universe’s way of telling her to take a step back and give her body what it really needs in a healthy way and started researching how to properly care of her body, how to properly weight train, and how to fuel her body properly. She went back to teaching, but only twice a week. 

Teaching spin has taught her discipline and how to properly take care of herself and could not imagine her life without it.

Tara Fredericks have never played sports. Growing up, she was the kid who used every excuse NOT to play sports. But now, she works out usually 6 days a week - from the comfort of her own home. 

She just retired at the age of 33 to come home and do full-time with helping other women get started on their own health and fitness journeys. It was a dream come true for her. 

She spends a few hours speaking to women who have their OWN goals, and how she may help them achieve them. She has lots of plans to come but according to her, it’s going to start with helping more women and building a team of like-minded women who want to be their own bosses as well.

Sergio Bueno is a sportsman dedicated to transmitting emotions, news, updates and many more things to fans, and of course, a sports passion and a life dreamer. Since he became a sports fan, soccer has been his life and every single day he tried to live the Atlético de Madrid as a way of his life, which consists of “Nunca dejes de creer” (“Never stop believing”).  

He tried to become a professional soccer player his whole life and achieved it at the age of 17-18, not at the stage that he dreamed of (first division). For him, at least he got into it at the third division. 

Then, life guided him to his dream job: becoming a journalist, hosting a tv sports show, being at soccer stadiums as a field reporter, commenting on many sports events and so many other experiences that he enjoys doing for the people that join his channels at Claro. This came during his college career at the Anáhuac University, at México City. 

He's working every day to improve and to be better day by day. He's aiming to go to the Qatar 2022 World Cup (which is next year) and preparing for that. He's anxious and looking forward to the next Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, so he has to focus on his day by day to keep learning, improving, and keep growing as a person and as a professional in the media industry where he is.

Maddy Black is a personal trainer and a cyclist in Abu Dhabi. She played competitive sports her entire life, starting with 10 years of gymnastics. This set her up well for a wide range of sports, and led her into the world of CrossFit, where she then transitioned into Olympic Weightlifting. Through weightlifting, she reached her lifetime goal of representing her country, Australia. She then moved to the UAE 3 years ago for an opportunity to coach CrossFit, and like many people, Corona lockdowns forced her out of the gym and into the outdoors. This is where her cycling journey began. Now, she competes in professional races around the UAE and focuses all of her time and energy on the sport of cycling. 

She had a very exciting couple of months, launching her online business Sundaze Coffee. This is now her main focus alongside training herself and others. She wanted to create a brand that aligned her values of travel, and adventure with high-quality coffee, and she always had a dream of owning a business.

She's selling premium specialty coffee drip bags across the UAE and hoping soon to sell to the rest of the world! This keeps her mind busy and gives her something to work on outside of being in the gym or on the track all the time.
