BFIRM Personal Training

To this community, thank you. Genuinely, thank you.
$107,135.86

Say that number out loud. We're still not over it, and it's not because of anything we did. It's because of everyone who accepted the challenge, that donated, sponsored, shared, and backed this without a second thought.

A few years ago this started small. A treadmill challenge with a $2,000 goal, a handful of us taking turns keeping the belts moving for 24 hours.

Then it became a Family Fun Day. Then a Golf Day that pulled in $30,000 on its own. And now, this year, it's added up to over $107,000 for Very Special Kids, and every bit of that growth has come from this community deciding to back it harder each time.

That's the part we want to sit on for a second. This wasn't one big donation from one place. It was dozens of local businesses, hundreds of individuals, and a whole community that keeps saying yes, year after year. We don't think there's a community quite like this one, and we mean that.

Very Special Kids () is Victoria's only children's hospice. Every dollar of this goes toward giving families the care and support they need when they need it most.

Berwick, we genuinely don't know if it gets better than this. But we said that last year too, so watch this space. We'll be back next year to go even bigger, alongside all of you.

Thank you for backing us the way you always do.

PHIL has RETURNED! We have been chomping at the bit to tell you all this news! We’re so pumped that Phil has returned to BFIRM.

It does mean that Damo’s time with us is somewhat coming to a close (for PT during the week anyway…for now 😜) and we wish Damo nothing but the absolute best! We are always so proud to see our team achieve their goals and go on to some incredible careers! Damo won’t be a stranger that’s for sure!

Phil will start to takeover from Damo from today and more spots will open up with more updates to come!

Welcome back Phil!

Merry Christmas! Time for us to put a sock in it, recover, be merry and let the silly season take over! We always take this time to reflect on the year that was, our team and importantly our BFIRM Community. Each year we are blown away and this year has definitely created some big shoes for 2026. Be safe, merry and THANK YOU.

WHAT a day at the with the BFIRM PT crew 💙🔥

Our coaches and clients absolutely turned it on today. the energy from the warm-up to the finish line was unreal. We had people taking on the 21.1k, 10k and 5k events, and the amount of PBs, first-time distances and personal wins was genuinely inspiring.

What made the day even better was the way everyone supported each other. Coaches pacing clients, clients cheering each other on, and that constant buzz you only get when a community shows up together with one goal: do your best and lift the people around you.

Couldn’t be prouder of this team. Whether you finished with a PB, hit a new distance, or just turned up and gave it your all, you’re part of what makes BFIRM special. Days like today remind us how powerful consistency, connection and shared effort really are.

Here’s to more runs, more wins and more moments like this. BFIRM PT stronger together. 🖤💙🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🔥

Lauren joins us not just as a familiar face, but as one of our long-term BFIRM clients who’s decided to turn her passion into her profession. As a busy mum of two energetic boys, she’s always had a strong connection to the fitness world, so a career change into the industry was only a matter of time.

With a love for endurance training, Lauren has already conquered both the marathon and half-marathon distances. Her experience, determination and genuine care for people make her an incredible addition to the team, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her helping our community become fitter, stronger and more confident.

BFIRM is also excited to welcome Zach to the Wellness Hub team. As an Accredited Clinical Exercise Physiologist, he brings firsthand rehab experience from his own ACL, ankle, and back injuries, along with a deep passion shaped by supporting his grandma through Motor Neurone Disease.

Zach works with all ages and abilities from NDIS participants and veterans to everyday clients with chronic conditions or sports injuries. He combines evidence-based practice with real life understanding to create personalised, sustainable programs.

He’s pumped to join BFIRM Wellness and help people move better, feel stronger, reduce pain, and build long-term confidence.

Tash joins and has spent the last three years helping people move better, feel stronger, and recover faster through therapeutic and sports massage. She works with everyone - from athletes, busy parents to anyone wanting to feel good in their body again.

She holds a Certificate in Whole Body Massage and a Diploma of Health Science while currently completing her Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science.
This means she brings both incredible hands-on skill and a deep understanding of how the body works.
She’s not just about treating where it hurts — she looks at why it’s happening and builds a plan that truly supports long-term results.

Please Welcome these legends and don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to them next time you’re at BFIRM!

We are extremely grateful for the hard work gone in behind the scenes of our very own team.

While we’re still crunching the numbers, we can already say the total has exceeded expectations, and we’ll be announcing the final amount raised very soon.

Massive thanks to .lens for capturing all the action from the day and to for your amazing background music.

Teamwork really makes the dream work and we are very overwhelmed with our efforts.

Here are a few words from Mikey’s experience with us at BFIRM.

“The team at BFIRM PT are welcoming, supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging. I have been training at BFIRM PT for a number of years and there is no place I would rather be. The trainers create such a great environment designed to push you towards all your goals.

Be it before the sun has risen or after it has set, every trainer greets you with a warm and friendly welcome the second you are within view.

BFIRM PT has been able to cater training to my specific needs and goals for my chosen sporting disciplines in such a perfect way that I can directly attribute some of my sporting successes to their help. From my first training session years ago to my sessions now, I am still just as enthusiastic and excited to attend.

I am also grateful to have BFIRM PT supporting me beyond the gym, proudly sponsoring me in my karting endeavours which means a lot as I continue to chase my goals both on and off the track.

Thank you to the team at BFIRM PT
