Residents value a great personal trainer to ensure they stay motivated and help them to achieve their health and fitness goals.

So it’s no surprise that residents were vocal with who their favourite was for the year.

TLC Fitness owner Tracey Callaghan is no stranger to the achievement, as the beloved trainer as now scored the title for the second year in a row.

“It feels amazing, it was a nice surprise to get a second one on the board,” she said.

“I must be doing something right and keeping my members happy which is good.”

The trainer said she credited the outpour of support she had received from the public due to the environment at TLC Fitness.

“It’s ladies only so they’re in an environment where they feel comfortable and we cater for all different shapes and sizes and fitness levels,” she said.

“They don’t feel judged or intimidated.”

Taking the crown of Dalby’s best PT isn’t the only thing she’s achieved this year as the fitness group moved to its very own location on 15A New St, and are using an indoor studio with airconditioning.

“We’re also added more classes and are looking to add more wellness elements like meditation and tai chi,” she said.

“I’m also trying to build a team as well because I’m currently a one woman show.”

The one woman show of course not only helps people tackle their health and fitness goals but gives back to the community and gives her members the chance to do the same, with the trainer hosting a fundraiser fitness round that raised money for the Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold Remembrance Fund following the tragic shootings of the police officers at Wieambilla last year.

“My members love being involved in something bigger and the community got behind that as well,” she said.

“We had 36 people on the floor doing the class which was just amazing, people like to give back to the community and our emergency services have a difficult job so everyone was willing to get involved and support it.”

The personal trainer shared that on top of growing her community with more staff, her ultimate goal is to help 200 women achieve their fitness goals by 2027.
