Summary

In January 2007 I was given the position as fill in Manager of Rydges Esplanade Gym, I successfully filled the Gym Managers position for 10mths. which inspired me to do my Certificate III & IV to be a Group Class Instructor & Personal Training via correspondence through Fitness Australia. I did Group Classes & Personal Training at the Rydges Gym at that time. I was at that time employed by The Rydges Esplanade. In 2011 Rydges Gym was closed to the Cairns community & all Gym staff were made redundant. I continue to work my own business under the name of "Ellyfit" . I am still a registered Cert. III & IV Group Class Instructor & Personal Training. I am also a qualified after school kids coach & have done after school care coaching at various Cairns Schools. I was also registered with the Cairns Base Hospital as a pass on contract for on going rehabilitation outside the Hospital. Part of my rehabilitation with the aged has included water aerobic classes & one on one water aerobic exercises.
