Simonne
Personal Trainer and Nutritionist
I take a holistic approach to coaching, recognising that every client is unique. I love to learn and I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge of health conditions, injuries, and evidence-based training practices so I can provide the safest and most effective support for each individual.
My approach is backed by 11 years of experience working in pharmacy, and many qualifications, professional development, and conference participations. I also draw on my personal experiences as a mother, living with chronic health conditions, and successfully navigating my own weight-loss journey, allowing me to coach with both professional knowledge and genuine empathy.
Over the years, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and delivered a variety of group fitness classes. Whether your goal is to improve strength, lose weight, increase confidence, or simply move better, my aim is to provide personalised support that helps you achieve lasting results.

Simon
Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach
I aspire to coach clients to be their best version of themselves and achieve their fitness goals - whatever that might be.
Exercise and sport has always been a big part of my life, training in powerlifting, strongman, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Crossfit, basketball, and marathon running.
I have competed in many competitions across various sports including The Arnold's Strongman, Proraw, GPC Powerlifting and Run The Lighthouse (55km run). I also coach local boys and girls basketball teams.
I use my experience and education to coach both male and female clients of all ages and fitness levels. Many of my clients have competed and placed in state and national strongman and powerlifting competitions.

Our Journey
Iron Hulk to Iron Oak
After gaining experience working in local gyms, Simon and Simonne combined their passion for health and fitness to establish Iron Hulk Fitness in 2013.
Over the years, they have helped hundreds of clients achieve incredible results through personal training, group fitness classes, nutrition coaching, overseas fitness retreats, and coaching athletes in powerlifting and strongman competitions.
As their family grew, the challenges of chronic health conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic led Simon and Simonne to step back from the business to focus on what mattered most... family.
Although they continued working part-time, their passion for helping others never faded.
Before long, they knew it was time to create something that reflected not only their years of experience, but also who they had become. Stronger, wiser, and grounded by life's challenges, they chose a name that embodied these values. Like the oak tree, Iron Oak Fitness represents strength, stability, resilience, and long-term growth.
