Selina Wright celebrates 18 years of Red E Personal Training

From weight loss goals to attaining a new size or recovering from injuries, Selina Wright has been transforming lives through fitness since she was age 23. Read the secret to her success.

Selina Wright has been transforming the lives of Mackay residents since she was age 23.

The Mackay born and bred trainer celebrated 18 years of her business Red E Personal Training in January.

Ms Wright said her business had evolved and grown to eight staff now working at the centre.

She said she trained people of all ages who had different fitness goals and reasons for wanting to exercise.

“It might be a weight loss goal or wanting to get back to a size or fit into a size,” she said.

“A lot of performance goals, we have a lot of clients that love entering local events like the marina run coming up or triathlons.

“Or even just their own personal goal, they might start in a position when they can’t do a push or they have knee pain, we work with them to be able to work around that.”

She said the highlight of her job was watching people transform their lives in different ways.

“Whether it is getting healthy for them and their family or for some people it is about having time out for themselves,” she said.

“The mums and bubs class is so important for mothers as their lives are absorbed with their newborns and their small children.

“It gives them time to come and train and that is enough for them.”

She said Red E Personal Training was different to other fitness centres in Mackay for the range of services they provided.

“We have one-on-one personal training, small group training, semi private training, outdoor boot camps that we run down by the river and our mums and bubs session,” she said.

“We also have a women’s only boot camp.”

She said her ongoing passion for her business lead to its growth and success.

“You have to be doing it for the right reasons and you have to be passionate and love your job,” Ms Wright said.

“So it is not just a means to an end or a way to make money, you have to be so invested in what you are doing.”
