Nicola Smith

My Name is Nicola and I have been in the fitness industry for 10 years now. I have also enjoyed a fulfuling career as a professional dancer for the past 24 years. Which has enabled me to travel the globe and dance with the likes of Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera, as well as performing for many corporate and commercial events. I love to feel fit and share my passion of dance and fitness. I have been teaching Zumba for the past 10 years in both HK and Australia. I also have qualifications in personal training with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Zumba Kids, Body Jam and T30 Fat Burn Extreme. I look forward to furthering my knowledge in the fitness world.

Sylvan Boucard

As a Strength and Nutrition Coach, I’m passionate about the science of human performance and its ability to meaningfully impact people’s lives. I’ve been an athlete my whole life, primarily in gymnastics; I used to coach kids and I still compete as an adult. But I wasn’t always a personal trainer. I had a 15-year corporate career in senior leadership roles where I experienced firsthand the challenge of prioritizing physical and mental health in a day packed with meetings and stress. I eventually traded the meeting room for the weight room to help others navigate that same balance. I became the number one coach at Equinox Santa Monica, a high-end luxury gym in one of the world's most competitive fitness markets. After hearing from so many clients how our work together fundamentally changed their lives, I haven't looked back.

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.
