Whether competing in state championships or pushing her young son, Tom, in his stroller, Gina’s love for running and fitness has been a lifelong affair - one she wishes to share with as many as possible!

Growing up in the coastal town of Denmark, the local river, beaches and open spaces soon became Gina’s training grounds. Inspired by her older sister Sue’s achievements in the international athletics arena, Gina’s desire to compete and achieve in the sport had been sparked.

The ensuing years have seen Gina compete in, and win, over 40 state titles as well as complete a BSc in Physical Education and a Diploma of Education. Her personal achievements have been matched by the achievements of those she has taught, coached and mentored, and her commitment to continue her education in the health and fitness industry augurs well for both Gina, and those fortunate enough to be coached by her.
