Boot Camp, Community and Chasing Dreams with Steph McKay

In this episode, Bex chats with Steph McKay, owner of Chasing Dreams Fitness in Tamworth and a familiar face in the Fitness Education Online community running The Bootcamp Hub. Steph shares how she went from avoiding school sport altogether to building a ladies only outdoor boot camp community, and why she was so shocked to find out she'd been named a finalist for both Personal Trainer of the Year and Group Fitness of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards. Steph talks through what a typical day looks like juggling boot camp sessions with her work in real estate, why she leans into the flexibility and fun of outdoor group training, and how something as simple as getting clients outside can make a bigger difference than they realise. She also shares her best advice for handling low turnout sessions without losing the energy, why staying organised but never too rigid is key when coaching groups, and how mentoring helped her take the business side of things more seriously. She wraps up with a simple reminder for anyone starting out: find your passion, keep learning, and push through the parts that feel uncomfortable at first.
