Simon Heffernan

Founder & Owner

“I started Olympic Weightlifting in 1990, culminating in medals at the 1998 and 2006 Commonwealth Games. My career in health and fitness has given me the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life; Olympic athletes, fitness and bikini models, WAFL players, primary school students, people who are sick, who hate exercising…..the list is too long and broad to do it justice.”

Simon specialises in:

Anything and everything!
Rehabilitation – nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing people progress from fear of hurting themselves to tackling numbers and exercises they never dreamed of.
Strength and conditioning
Pre-season training for serious athletes

Jack Forrest

Personal Trainer

‘I’m what you call a fitness lifer. From the time I could walk I was seeing what my body could handle.

As a competitor I enjoyed success at State level as a swimmer in Primary school, and then went on to National level competition in Basketball as a Teenager.

Coming from a family with deep roots in Boxing, that has always been a fulcrum of my exercise as well.

I have been working as a Personal Trainer since 2007, and in that time have had the opportunity to work in a variety of niches such as sports specific training with athletes, quality of life improvement with retirees, pre and post natal women, postural correction, injury rehabiliatation just to name a few.

I don’t have a preferance for that type of training I do with clients – but I do have a preference for working with clients who give their all and don’t make excuses’.

 

Rachel Tassone

Personal Trainer

 Hi my name is Rachel and keeping a fitness regime has always been a vital part of my daily life from a young age.

I’ve participated in team sports and danced within the jazz and ballet scene for years, as well as rehabilitated from injuries which in turn has exposed me to the importance of  exercise the right way.

Balancing fitness with the responsibility of motherhood can have its challenges along with the all the hormonal ups and downs which comes with it. Practicing this myself, I strongly believe in taking a holistic approach to fitness so there is a mind and body connection,

I am now very excited to be working alongside and learning from the dedicated professional team at Renew which allows me to pass on my experience with clients.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you and embarking on a fitness journey that will benefit your way of life.

The first step is yours!
