Fitness on Northern Beaches 🏋️‍♀️

We’re not just personal trainers — we’re husband and wife, parents of two, and two people who genuinely love what we do.

Between us, we’ve spent over 22 years each working in the fitness industry, helping women and men of all ages and fitness levels become stronger, fitter and more confident.

But we also understand real life. ❤️

We have kids, work, a business, a home and all the chaos that comes with trying to fit everything in! We know that finding time for yourself isn’t always easy — and training doesn’t need to be intimidating or take over your life.

Our approach is simple: meet you where you’re at and make training work for YOU.

Whether you want to get stronger, improve your fitness, lose weight, return to exercise after a break, work around an injury, or simply feel better in yourself — we’d love to help.

🏡 Train in our private, welcoming home gym in North Narrabeen, or we can come to you with equipment.

No judgement. No egos. Just experienced, down-to-earth trainers who want you to feel comfortable, supported and enjoy training.

We’re Matt & Kim — Fitness on Northern Beaches.
And we’d love to have you train with us. 💪

What a week! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who checked in, sent messages and showed me so much love and support after my anaphylactic reactions.

I also want to say a massive thank you to the paramedics who looked after me. They were absolutely amazing — so calm, kind and compassionate at a pretty scary time. I felt like I was in such good hands. 🚑❤️

And a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff at Northern Beaches Hospital who took such great care of me afterwards.

I’m home, recovering well and very ready to get back into life and work next week! 💪

And one thing I’ve definitely learnt… I can’t forget my EpiPen anymore! 😂 It’ll be coming EVERYWHERE with me from now on!

Feeling very lucky, very grateful and ready for a fresh week ahead.

Bring on the warmer weather ☀️
LET’S GO! 💪🔥

Yes 🙌

This is why we do what we do.

Wednesday nights are one of the highlights of my week. 🏃‍♀️💙

Every Wednesday I get to coach the most amazing group of people at our Run Squad. It’s more than just a running session—it’s an hour of encouragement, laughs, support and getting a little bit fitter together.

Whether you’ve never run before or you’re training for your next event, everyone is welcome.

Each session includes:
✅ A warm-up
✅ A coached running workout
✅ A cool-down
✅ Plenty of laughs along the way!

Do we get fitter and faster? Absolutely.

Do we all run to win races? Definitely not! Some of our runners love chasing PBs, while others simply want to move their bodies, improve their fitness, and enjoy being part of a fantastic community.

The comment I hear after almost every session is:
“Everyone here is so lovely.”

And it’s true. This group welcomes everyone, encourages each other and makes turning up every week something to look forward to.

If you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, we’d love to have you join us.

Send me a message or PM to come along! We’d love to meet you. 💚

This is what it’s all about. 💪🐾

Not perfect workouts.
Not fancy gyms.
Not chasing perfection.

Just good people, a great session, plenty of laughs, a whole lot of sweat… and of course, a four-legged training buddy making sure everyone stayed accountable! 🐶

Fitness doesn’t have to feel like a chore. When you surround yourself with supportive people, challenge yourself, and have fun along the way, showing up becomes the easy part.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started, we’d love to help. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your training to the next level, there’s a place for you.

This year training did not go to plan. Just a few hiccups along the way in the lead up.
We went in with almost no strategy - just let’s see how we feel at certain places along the way.

Matt definitely carried the load by doing the sled pull + push solo 🙊
And then we shared most ( kind of 🫣) of the rest between us .

But both of us felt good on the day! We took water on during the race and I took gels. Made all the difference!

I said before the race I don’t want to do it. I won’t do it next year. This is my last year.

Now I am not so sure 😉

What a week for the Forwoods 🎉

We welcomed two new boys into our family this week.

Matt got the Car. Kim for the Horse . Welcome Arlo 🐴

Who for the better deal ? 😉

🌟 World Running Day 🌟

First Wednesday in June is WRD!

And what a coincidence we also happy to have Run Squads Wednesday nights .

WRD is about just giving it a go. Have a run, move a little , get involved and have fun !

For our session tonight we made it a little bit of fun. As a group the challenge was to see how much distance we could accumulate over 25 minutes around the 400m track.
Of this group of 12 - 5 were kids under 8 years old !

We managed to accumulate an impressive 44.8km!!

Testimonial Monday 💙

Love my Wednesday Run club crew 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️
