COACH/ PERSONAL TRAINER

JULIA HANNAFORD

I was born and raised in Tamworth, NSW. Throughout my childhood I did gymnastics, dappled in basketball and Oztag, before finding Crossfit. I coached gymnastics for 7 years, and have worked in hospitality on and off. I moved to Wollongong in September 2020, and have loved it here since!

A turning point in my life, was when I was 16 trying to decide whether or not to stop doing the sport of gymnastics. I was distressed at making a choice because I felt it was more than a yes or no decision. My mum said to me "No matter what you choose, you'll be okay". Since then, whenever I am faced with any discomfort, I always tell myself that, "no matter what, I will be okay". This phrase gives me so much peace and relief when my anxiety levels begin to rise.
