For one Dalby personal trainer, fitness is more than just a goal, it‘s a lifestyle and its one that should be fun and inclusive.

Now, TLC Fitness’ Tracey Callaghan has been recognised for her incredible work, with readers voting her Dalby’s best personal trainer.

The 15-year fitness industry veteran has run her women focus trainer business full-time for the past six years, but says fitness has always been a passion.

“I have always had an interest in health and fitness. And it was something I‘d been wanting to do for a couple of years,” Ms Callaghan said.

“And back in 2006 I just thought well I’ve got to get started on this because it was something that just kept niggling at me.”

It’s her dedication to her clients that lead to her being voted Dalby’s best PT by Dalby Herald readers, something Ms Callaghan was delighted to hear.

“I’m really stoked. It‘s wonderful to be acknowledged for doing something that I love,” she said.

Many of her clients don’t feel comfortable going to a gym, so Ms Callaghan works hard to make her classes a safe environment, and she loves watching the results.

“Seeing the lady‘s confidence level improve and their self esteem as well as obviously, their fitness and strength improvements,” she said.

“Everyone is important and valued. They‘re not just a number, like I know their names. I know what work they do. Their kids names. I really invest a lot of time in getting to know them and what their goals.

“Empowering women and providing a safe, supportive and inclusive community is my specialty.”

She also trains NDIS clients.

“I have clients with Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy and they love how movement exercise makes them feel,” she said.

Ms Callaghan has also branched into online classes, first moving onto the web during the pandemic lookdowns – but choosing to continue the classes to help those her preferred to workout in their own home.

Her key tenets were making sure everyone was catered for, ensuring beginners didn’t feel the need to try and keep up with more advanced class-goers, or tweaking routines for those with injuries.
