About Us
Hi, We're Rachel and Nick β husband-and-wife Personal Trainers, Nutrition Coaches and parents to three children.
Strong Fams grew from our own experience and struggles of trying to navigating health, fitness and family life.
From visions, to commerical gyms, lockdown ... today we coach clients from our private PT studio in The Gables, NSW and online worldwide.

Our Story
2015
We became parents for the first time
In 2015, after becoming parents for the first time, we quickly realised how difficult it can be to prioritise your own health while juggling work, kids and everyday life.
Parenthood hit us like a ton of bricks.
We were sleep deprived, exhausted and struggling to find the time or energy to exercise or eat well, all while working sedentary office jobs.
After years of struggling, we both eventually found a way to turn our health around β losing weight, rebuilding our strength and fitness, and discovering just how much better we could feel.
That experience sparked a genuine passion for health and fitness and inspired Rachel to study fitness and nutrition, with Nick following shortly after.
2018
The "Strong Mamas" vision was born
Whilst Rachel was pregnant with our second child she launched Strong Mamas from our home gym in Riverstone + online, helping mums local and worldwide prioritise their health and fitness around family life - just like she had successfully learned to do.
2019
We opened our first commercial gym - Dural NSW
With our 4 year old son and 4 month old daughter in tow Rachel opened the "Strong Mamas" commercial gym, in Dural NSW whilst the online coaching platform also continued to boom.
Shortly after opening the gym, Nick left his corporate career to join the rapidly growing business alongside Rachel.
2021
The "Strong Fams" vision was born
After years of coaching only mums, we realised that dads were an equally important part of building healthier families, so Strong Mamas became Strong Fams β expanding our focus to mums, dads and the whole family.
2022
A new chapter.
After two lockdowns and experiencing the demands of running a large facility while raising a young family, we chose to simplify our life + closed down our commercial gym .
Instead, we downsized to a smaller private PT studio from our garage and continued coaching online, allowing us to focus on quality over quantity, our family and a healthier work-life balance.
Today
Strong Fams PT Studio - Gables NSW + Worldwide Online Coaching
Now a thriving family of five and in the best physical and mental health of our lives, we coach face-to-face from our private Personal Training studio in The Gables, NSW, alongside our online coaching services worldwide.
We've built Strong Fams β and our own lives β around the same philosophies we encourage our clients to follow: eat better, move more, train strong, recover well and - most of all - stay consistent.
