Charly Bruinsma
The Coach
My name is Charly, I'm a PT based in Canberra, coaching out of Fitness First Deakin and Canberra City. I started personal training because I love helping people achieve and reach their fitness goals, and the confidence that comes with it. I love seeing people bloom out of their shell through fitness. Holding themselves more accountable, creating healthier lifestyles and healthier habits, it makes a world of difference for those who haven't entered it yet.
I've got such a passion around fitness. The gym has helped me through a lot, I've spent plenty of alone time in there, and there's more in the gym that correlates to real life than you realise. A lot of what you apply in the gym, you can apply to your life. So to me, the gym is so much more than just coming in and exercising. You're holding yourself accountable every day, holding yourself to a high standard, pushing yourself past your limits, figuring more and more out about yourself every day, and growing as a person, physically and mentally.
