Hi everyone, my name is Kirrilee and I'm co-owner of the gym, the meditation teacher, a yoga instructor and a proud mum of 5 awesome kids.

I grew up doing martial arts with my father who is a black belt and obtained my red sash doing Kung Fu, after that I moved on to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where I received my blue belt and won gold in two state competitions as a white belt. I have run three successful self defence courses with my husband Shaw and with the support of Tasmania Police.

I've completed certificates in Meditation and Mindfulness teacher training, Yoga and Personal training.

I'm currently studying Positive Psychology which teaches me positive ways to communicate with others and with myself and Embodied Processing which teaches me about somatic energy stored in the body and how to work through stored trauma in the body.

I am passionate about health, wellness and community and my hope is that everyone that enters the gym feels welcomed and supported.

I'm really excited to be able to offer meditation courses and to be able to connect with so many of you as meditation truly transformed my life. 

James has trained martial arts for 11 years and has competed in MMA and Muay Thai.

James has won Tasmanian titles in Muay Thai.

James teaches the Muay Thai classes with his club Huon Valley Muay Thai at Free Form Fitness.

 My name’s Isea and I am a certified yoga instructor. My wish is to create a space and environment that encourages students to surrender to their experience, within and without. Yogic language and techniques will form a bridge for students to connect with spirit as well as staying rooted in our human experience.
