Fitness Education Online Podcast I For Personal Trainers, Fitness Professionals, Gym Owners & the Fitness Industry

In this episode, Bex sits down with Loz Antonenko, also known as the Mojo Mentor, a coach, author of the Amazon number one bestseller "Get the F*ck Unstuck," and finalist for both Personal Trainer of the Year and Pilates Professional of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards. Loz shares the raw, honest story behind her work, from being diagnosed with a serious autoimmune condition at university, to building a successful business, to the years of grief, loss and burnout that followed, including the loss of her husband and a period of competitive bodybuilding that spiralled into orthorexia and a breakdown. It's an incredibly candid conversation about how she found her way back through the simplest possible tools.

Loz breaks down her Mojo Method and the idea of "handbrake habits," the five basic daily things (eating, breathing, sleep, movement and hydration) that most people are already doing but not doing well, and why getting unstuck starts there rather than with anything flashy or complicated. She talks about what actually sets her apart as a coach, her lived experience rather than a textbook, and leaves PTs with a strong reminder to apply the same tools they give their clients to their own lives, because burnout doesn't discriminate.

In this episode, Bex sits down with Steven Halligan, an online fitness trainer with over 30 years in the industry, from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, London and back, through a studio, 12 week challenges and eventually a full pivot to online training during COVID, when he became the national trainer for Weight Watchers Australia and New Zealand. Steven's now trained clients in 40 countries and reflects on what's really set him apart along the way, and  allowed him to build connections that have meant he’s been training some of this clientes for over two decades. 
Steven talks candidly about the hard, unglamorous side of building a training business, mistakes he’s made, and gives straightforward advice for PTs just starting out.

In this episode, Bex sits down with Caterina Bozzi, prenatal and postnatal fitness coach and founder of Collective Fitness Yoga, a women's only gym in Mildura, Victoria. Caterina has been named a finalist for Personal Trainer of the Year at the 2026 AUSactive Awards, an award she also won back in 2023, this time reflecting the work she has done since becoming a mum to triplets.
Caterina shares how she got into the industry as a teenager, her typical week juggling private clients, running the business and family life, and the moment she almost stepped away before deciding to grow instead. She also talks about moving into the pre and postnatal space after her own experience of motherhood, why she trains clients based on how they feel rather than a fixed program, and how offering strength, Pilates and yoga under one roof lets her support women at every stage of life.

On the podcast today we have Kate Morris, a nutritionist, online PT and business mentor who has built a multi-million dollar coaching business entirely through organic content, and whose podcast Oi Let's Talk is currently charted number four in Australian Health and Fitness. Kate shares the full story behind her career, from the gym floor with no clients and $300 in rent hanging over her head, to losing 80% of her business overnight when COVID hit, to scaling from 10 to 110 clients within three months of going online.

She talks candidly about the fear and imposter syndrome that held her back from launching her business mentoring arm for two years, and why she believes mindset and self-belief are the true foundations of a successful business. She also breaks down what it actually takes to build a personal brand that converts, and why knowing your ideal client is non-negotiable.

Plus, she gives us an inside look at her Side Hustle to CEO Blueprint, her six-month program for coaches who are starting out or ready to scale.

Dan Williams is an accredited exercise physiologist, founder of Perth-based Range of Motion (20 years strong), and business mentor. In this episode he introduces Gobsmack Consulting, a practical framework for turning ordinary client touchpoints into experiences people actually talk about.

Most fitness professionals are delivering a good service, but good service is just the cost of entry. Dan walks through how to map every client touchpoint, identify the pits and the forgettable middle, and redesign them into moments that create a genuine emotional response. 

The big takeaway: in an AI-driven world where everything is being scaled and commodified, the most powerful thing you can do is the opposite. Do the unscalable.
