🎉 DF.GYM MEMBER HIGHLIGHT 🎉
In order to celebrate the diverse range of people training at DF.GYM, here is an awesome MEMBER HIGHLIGHT!

💪🏼 TROY ROBERTS 💪🏼

Tell us why you came to DF.GYM?

I’d been going to the NQ Beat Down and Elite Fight Series events for a few years. The Fight Academy always performed well. DF puts forward tough fighters that were fit and ready to be in the ring.

DF advertised Fitness Passport memberships, which is a massive incentive as no other cross training or martial arts gyms in Cairns do.

👉What are your goals:

When I first started going to the gym 9 years ago, I couldn’t bench press the 20kg bar. I started off benching with 4kg dumbbells. Even more recently, before coming to DF, I couldn’t do a single double-under when skipping.

My goals are strength related these days. I hit a PB deadlift of 200kgs (2.5 x body weight) in the cross-training class at the end of last year, so pretty stoked with that result.

Still chasing the goal of bench-pressing more than boss Patto though.

💪🏼What classes do you attend:

Cross-training on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the fighter’s class with sparring on Fridays.

🙌 Tell us something people don’t know about you:

I’m passionate about the work I do. I work for a local charity that provides legal advice on the transfer of land to Aboriginal people in Cape York. Work can be mentally draining, so I find physical training after work helps to cope with mental stress.

👌What do you like most about DF:

The trainers have proven their experience in the ring and teach the techniques used in their fights.

I also like the support and encouragement. There’s a positive culture which motivates and inspires people to push and perform beyond their own expectations.

🌴JENNA COCO🌴@jenrcoco

Tell us why you came to DF.GYM?

I’ve been coming to DF.GYM for years way back when my friend Steph was a trainer. More recently I have really gotten into the kickboxing classes. A couple of girls from work wanted to try them, we all go together now and absolutely love it!

👉What are your goals:

I have always wanted to join the 100kg deadlift club, hopefully one day. I need to work on my running but I just cannot get my short legs to move fast enough! Strength has always been my strength. I’m not built for speed!

💪🏼What classes do you attend:

As much as I love the kickboxing classes, my favourite are still the Cross Training classes at 6am Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It’s the best way to start my day before work. By the afternoon I’m usually ready for dinner and bed so I’m rarely seen doing a PM class!

🙌 Tell us something people don’t know about you:

You can probably guess from this interview, but I hate running! I did do a 10km race without any training and didn’t do too bad actually. I firmly believe in the power of the mind and enjoy challenging myself both mentally and physically.

👌What do you like most about DF:

The trainers, especially Tristan. He is the perfect combination of supportive and stern. He always seems to catch me
shuffling along when I should be sprinting though 😂 sometimes he lets me off but VERY rarely!
