5 With A Digger. Wendy Perry.

This week’s guest is a little bit different, she’s not a veteran, but her story of fitness, business, community and completely changing direction in life is one worth hearing. 💪 A mum of four and granny of five, she went from a career in banking and financial planning to completing her Cert III & IV in Fitness after people started noticing her own results and asking her for advice. Then in 2013, redundancy forced a change of direction. She started training at Anytime Fitness Cooroy, applied for the manager’s job and started the very next day. By April 2014, she’d bought the gym. 🔥 What started as essentially buying herself a wage became something much bigger. 🏋️ Around 400 members grew to 900 👥 A team of 3 grew to 10 🤝 And most importantly, she built a genuine community where people feel like they belong. In this episode we chat about her journey, taking risks, running a business, the importance of community, and how fitness can be about so much more than just training. For veterans especially, getting back into a gym can sometimes be that first step towards routine, connection and finding your people again. This is a great conversation about backing yourself, changing direction and building something that matters. https://www.facebook.com/AnytimeFitnessCooroy/ https://www.instagram.com/atf\_cooroy/?hl=en https://www.anytimefitness.com/en-au/locations/cooroy-queensland-au-1030 It’ll Take A Tribe Community Food Bank Open - Facebook Find us on Instagram and Facebook. Facebook Instagram This podcast proudly sponsored by  Gravel Empire Holdings - Instagram Cuzkell – Instagram Elite Boxing Club Adelaide - Instagram Merch available CREW Apparel & Print | Shop Custom Apparel Now Like.
