Taking a lead with 22 per cent of votes, personal trainer Michelle McPherson has been crowned the top personal trainer of Toowoomba.

Being empathetic and understanding the challenges of people who have multiple commitments, such as families and demanding jobs, was part of what makes a great personal trainer, she said.

Loving her job, she said a big achievement was running a “peaches and guns” program this year, where she journeyed with 25 women, at differing stages of fitness.

“Some didn’t even know how to use anything in a gym, there was scared to come to a gym,” she said.

“They’ve lost lots of weight, they feel more alive healthy.

“It’s amazing and I think when they achieve a goal I’m more excited than they are.”
