Amber Reid has always been passionate about helping people feel good about themselves. She saw an opportunity to positively impact people’s lives by creating a gym that educated and trained its members and provided a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Reid’s career in the fitness industry began as a trainer at an F45 in Newcastle, NSW. She then became a manager at the gym and fell pregnant soon after.
She began taking on one-on-one clients in her home garage during her pregnancy. Reid and her partner later decided to start their gym, and they moved home to New Zealand to pursue their dream.
Rachel Dillon, the owner of an Australian-based online training platform and activewear line, particularly inspires Reid.
“She used to be my 1-1 coach when I did my first body sculpting competitor years ago (before she blew up); I learnt a lot from her, and so this reminds me of the humble beginnings and potential I can have if I work hard,” said Reid.
Having experienced many highlights in her career, including moving into a larger gym space, winning an award for best studio with her software company, and the success of her gym’s six-week challenges, Reid is motivated by new challenges and constantly seeks ways to help people achieve their fitness goals.
“I have a very entrepreneurial mindset. My mind is always thinking. I always have new ideas and love that I can now step more into this part of our business, focusing on business growth.”
By staying true to her passion for helping others, Reid was able to build a successful gym and make a positive impact on countless lives.
