Central Coast Express Advocate readers had from Thursday to Sunday to vote for the best fitness gurus in the region.
Here’s the top three:
3/. Gregory Wasson, Alpha Strengh & Physique, Central Coast
Greg Wasson has been a personal trainer for the past ten years with a passion for helping people transform not just their bodies but their lives.
Wasson has had success in training male and female physique competitors who have gone on to win their pro cards as well as state and national titles across multiple federations.
“I’m a husband to my beautiful wife Jessika and father of three crazy boys Archie, Sonny and Bowie with a super busy schedule so I have a first hand understanding of what it’s like to try and prioritise health and fitness all while juggling family and business priorities, but nothing is impossible,” he said.
“I really enjoy the process of helping not only advanced client but everyday people adjust their lifestyle to achieve their goals. It’s a huge honour to named in this list.”
2/. Michaela Pert, Pay It 4/D Fitness, Chain Valley Bay
Michaela Pert, who works out if Active Fitness HQ in Doyalson, is a mother of three and specialises in group training and female weight loss and wellbeing.
Pert says she is “inspired, determined and passionate in helping others achieve their fitness goals and become a happier, healthier version of themselves”.
“It’s wonderful to be able to make a positive impact on other people’s lives,” she told the Express.
“I had brain surgery three years ago for a chiari malformation and that experience was a life turning point for me to follow my passion in inspiring others along their health/fitness journies.”
1/. Sarah Wachjo, F45, Charmhaven/Tumbi
Sarah Wachjo had an unlikely entry into the fitness industry, starting out making protein shakes at a gym before the owner asked if she would like to become a trainer.
Wachjo has never looked back and four years ago discovered her true passion in F45 Training.
She started as a member, became a trainer, manager and now owns F45 Training at Charmhaven and Tumbi Umbi with her partner.
Wachjo said F45 was “a family” and even after 16-hour days she still jumps out of bed, raring to get stuck in with her team.
Holly Hunter said Wachjo was “always going above and beyond for her members”.
Another, Ashleigh Sloman, described Wachjo as a motivator.
“What an amazing and inspiring woman,” Ms Sloman said.
“And an absolute weapon.”
Samantha Carroll said Wachjo supported people outside the gym.
”Sarah doesn’t just encourage you through your workouts but outside of that too! She checks in and as soon as you meet her you know she genuinely cares about your well-being as a whole.”
Leesh Cunningham described Wachjo as “incredible”.
“Every single person at F45 Training Charmhaven & F45 Training Tumbi Umbi can vouch for me when I say you will not find a more dedicated, encouraging, motivating or beautiful trainer than our Sarah,” she said.
