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.

Mieke Coster

I’m Mieke, a passionate fitness professional with over 11 years’ experience helping people become stronger, more confident, and more capable. I believe fitness is about more than exercise — it’s about building confidence, creating sustainable habits, and helping people feel their best. My coaching style combines energy, encouragement, and personalised programming to support each person’s goals and abilities. With experience across personal training, group fitness, outdoor training, boxing, yoga, pilates, strength and conditioning, pre + post natal, and leadership roles, I bring a well-rounded approach to every session. I’m passionate about helping people discover their potential, achieve things they never thought possible, and enjoy the journey along the way.
