Sunshine Coast Strength

A few moments from a night I’ll never forget. 🏆
After announcing that Sunshine Coast Strength won the Outstanding Fitness Service category at the Local Business Awards, I wanted to share the speech I gave on the night — along with a couple of photos that capture the moment.
Winning the award was an incredible achievement, but standing up in that room and reflecting on what we’ve built made me realise just how much this business means to me.
Sunshine Coast Strength has never just been about lifting weights or getting fitter.
It’s about the athletes chasing their next level.
It’s about the kids building confidence.
It’s about people coming back from injury.
It’s about the members who have completely changed their lives.
I was a little nervous speaking on the night and didn’t thank the coaches who make the gym culture every day Sanchez. Jackson. Brody.
I genuinely couldn’t be prouder of these three.
They bring their own personalities, knowledge and coaching styles to SCS, but they all share the same thing — they care deeply about the people they coach.
They show up every day, work hard, continue to learn and, most importantly, put our members and athletes first.
As a business owner, winning an award like this is incredibly special. But seeing the team I’ve built recognised alongside me is something I’m even more proud of.
The award might have the SCS name on it, but it belongs to the whole team.
Thank you Sanchez, Jackson and Brody for everything you do, and thank you to every member, athlete and family who continues to put their trust in us.
This is what we’re building at Sunshine Coast Strength. 🦍
