The app is designed for at-home workouts for women and Ms Olholm was chosen due to her expertise in high intensity strength which is a class combining cardio and weights.

She said most of the online classes run between 30-45 minutes, although there were also 15-minute “express” classes available, and the classes require just a kettlebell, two dumbbells and a skipping rope.

The first four weeks of her program are designed as beginner classes and there will be a six-week challenge beginning in January.

“I’ve tested the program, changed things and perfected it,” she said.

Kayla Itsines is one of the biggest names in Australian fitness with 12.7 million online followers, and co-founded the app to give women access to affordable on-demand training.

Ms Olholm said the other trainers on the app were based around the world including the United States and Europe.

“It's so exciting and such an awesome opportunity to have,” she said.

“To have the flexibility to have an impact on women all around the world.”

“High Intensity Strength training is traditionally gym based but I wanted to show women that with the right program and a few pieces of equipment, they can improve their physical fitness,

strength and confidence from the comfort of home.”

Ms Olholm is also a qualified nutritionist, having released a recipe book, and sharing meal ideas through her social media.

She runs her Cairns gym with husband Jake and it has amassed around 200 members.

The couple had their daughter Charlotte in 2019.
