Trainer and Franchisee Sharon Twaddell – turning a hobby into a career

Brisbane Girl

Sharon is a Brisbane girl, born and raised in the Western suburbs. She has raised her 2 kids who have now followed in her fitness-loving footsteps. Both train themselves regularly. She loved getting her kids involved in fitness when they were young and she has set them up for a healthy and active life.

Turning hobbies into a career

Sharon’s hobbies include boxing and going to gym classes, she started out as a passionate gym goer, and decided to turn her passion into a career.

Sharon has been a Personal Trainer for 8 years ever since she completed her studies back in 2011. Sharon worked in a gym for most of that time as well as doing outdoor training. She is excited about her new pathway as a Fitness Enhancement Personal Trainer and Franchisee, opening up the opportunity for her to work with the whole team who can help with the tricky part of the business (marketing, advertising, billing, business management etc) and allowing her to spend more time focussing on what she loves – helping people.

Disability Training

Sharon has worked as a Support Worker for clients with disabilities and has seen how huge the positive impact can be when clients have the opportunity to be active and involved in the community. She is super excited that with Fitness Enhancement she is now a registered NDIS provider. This means she can provide Personal Training to eligible participants living with a disability – giving them access to government-funded health and fitness that may have otherwise been beyond they reach.

Sharon’s Style

Sharon says her Training style is an “all-rounder”. She is a big believer in the positives of both weight training and cardio, she likes to implement both into her sessions whether it be body weight or free weights, fit balls, medicine balls or any other piece of innovative equipment. She is especially passionate about using boxing as a great cardio exercise and stress reliever. Sharon loves working with a wide variety of clients and will click with anyone that is prepared to give it their best and wants to see results.

She will push you to your limits but will never ask you to do anything that you could not do.
