Interest outside of Rhino?
Family is everything, spending time with my wife and kids is my number 1 priority, as a family we keep as active as we can, whether it’s a bike ride, walk or heading to the beach. I love a Craft beer( balance remember), watching footy and early nights.

WHY DO YOU LOVE THE FITNESS INDUSTRY?
I love being able to go to work and no matter what happened to me the day before I can count on one of my clients to inspire me. Every day is different and all of my clients are different but they all come and train to better their lives and I truly love being able to help people to do so.

INTEREST OUTSIDE OF RHINO?
Outside of rhino I train and play rugby league. It is an aspiration of mine to play in the NRL, so outside of work I am working towards one day ticking off that goal. When I’m not working or training, I also love spending time with family.

Vanessa veleska – personal trainer
Why do you love the fitness industry?
Setting and achieving fitness goals are in ones’s hands. However, these are not always easy to achieve alone. I absolutely love the feeling of knowing I’ve helped make a change to someones life, whether it be physically or mentally. I try and teach people to never doubt themselves and let fear creep in, but learn to get comfortable in being uncomfortable while trusting the process.
Best Quote that resonates with you most
“be stronger than your strongest excuse”.
Favourite sport?
Crossfit.
Interest outside of Rhino?
A combination of cross fit, coffee, chocolate, napping and a day/night out with friends are a few of my favourite things to do. However, family is the most important thing above everything.
Tom Caughlan – personal trainer
Why do you love the fitness industry?
BEING ABLE TO BE APART OF A CLIENTS JOURNEY AND HELPING THEM WORK TOWARDS A SPECIFIC GOAL THAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE. KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE DONE ALL YOU CAN FOR YOUR CLIENTS GIVES YOU MUCH EXCITED TO COME TO WORK EACH DAY. HEALTH AND FITNESS GIVES YOU THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE A BETTER PERSON FOR YOURSELF.
Best Quote that resonates with you most
“the most importand thing you will ever work on is yourself”.
Favourite sport?
Rugby League.
Interest outside of Rhino?
I’m currently playing Rugby League so footy training and playing takes up a large chunk of my spare time. I love a cheeky beer with friends, dinners and breakfast with the mrs. Most importantly just spending time with family and friends.
