22.01.2022 Meet Eddie, one of our coaches at Fitness Playground, Surry Hills. "My story begins with my background which no one has ever guessed correctly. I'm half Russian and half Ghanaian. I was born and grew up in Moscow for the first decade of my life and speak fluent Russian. I lived afterwards in Ghana for over a decade. The craziest achievement I have managed to this day was rehabilitating myself from Sciatica with minimal assistance from anyone else. It was the scariest thing I'...ve gone through. To go from being fully and physically capable, to losing partial control of one of my limbs, almost no dorsiflexion and barely being able to bend over to put my shoes on. I suddenly felt 60 years old. Taking myself from that state to being able to do Tough Mudder and fighting Muay Thai is one of my greatest achievements." Eddie's forte is transformation through Muay Thai and is certified in Kettlebell, Indian Club & Steel Mace training. If you're after someone who specializes in high-intensity, power and endurance training, Eddie is your man. And for those who are just seeking a TED Talk, Eddie is also your man. #FPCoach #PersonalTrainer #InspireChange #FitnessPlayground

11.01.2022 It seems that we have been handed one final test to close out 2020 with a spike in new Covid-19 cases. The good news is, we have overcome it before, and together we can and will overcome it again. Effective immediately, we will be on high alert and will be managing hygiene and cleaning tightly. We kindly ask that you, our members are following through on hygiene procedures and social distancing.... Playing your part never stops.

08.01.2022 We asked the legend of Bondi and one of FP's originals, Chris Mavros, what he liked about working with us. "Fitness Playground’s unique structure guarantees progression for trainers. Weekly development sessions are provided, giving access to new ideas and presenters, whilst in-house business development sessions help you get on your feet in a notoriously difficult industry. In your first six weeks, you have daily interactions with either your mentor, club manager or PT manage...r. From there, any individual assistance you need is provided, before you’re moved into business development to set short and long term goals." Ready to shake things up? Whether you're an aspiring personal trainer, interested in making a shift to the fitness industry, experienced or just curious, we want to hear from you. Be like Chris and become part of the FP family. Apply today: https://bit.ly/FP-careers

A memorable performance that received a standing ovation (watch till the end). Want to work for a company that nurtures your mind, credits your successes AND makes mash-ups of your mishaps?
