Cert III/IV
I was always hesitant about joining a gym but once I got the confidence to join RAD GYM at the start of 2020, I experienced a great atmosphere with loads of help to get me to my goals. From that time my love of training grew to where I wanted to become a Personal Trainer, I started as a trainer at RAD in december of 2020 to help people reach their fitness goals and provide the same support I had. Kodie aims to convert all members and staff to go for Parramatta (EELS RULE, ROOSTERS DROOL!!).

Personal Trainer
Cert III/IV
I’ve always had a love for dance and sports, but it wasn’t until after finishing Year 12 that I discovered my true passion for fitness. Training at the gym became more than just exercise—it was my way of coping, growing, and challenging myself both mentally and physically.
Since then, I’ve turned that passion into a career. I completed my Nutrition Coaching and Cert III & IV in Fitness in 2022, followed by my Yoga Instructor qualification in 2024. I’m also a certified Pilates Instructor at Focus Pilates Studio. My goal is to help others feel strong, confident, and supported on their own fitness journey.
