IT’S THE GYM YOU WON’T
want to leave
We could throw around the term ‘home away from home’ but that may not do the place justice. Anytime Fitness Echuca is more of a family — and they want to welcome you in tHeRe aRe some who aren’t too keen on the gym scene. They don’t believe it’s the right fit or believe they won’t feel comfortable in the setting. But the team at Anytime Fitness Echuca are there to get you through and by the end you’ll be banging down their doors to get in and sweat it out. Since 2015 Chris and Kara built their business and in December 2017 opened Anytime Fitness here in Echuca. Already a part of the Anytime Fitness franchise, along with their passion for health and fitness, in 2016 they saw an opportunity in the market for a new 24-hour gym that catered to the needs of the community. After finding a suitable location in Anstruther St and with careful planning, 12 months later the amazing space that is now home to Anytime Fitness Echuca was created.
A lot of thought went into designing an environment that was light, bright and spacious. And don’t assume the duo are just some corporates who don’t know a thing about the twin towns. Kara made her first trip to Echuca when she was just six weeks old and, years later, she met Chris who would inevitably become a huge part of her life and of course career. The couple fell in love with not only each other, but the twin towns themselves. So much so, the two tied the knot at Perricoota Station in 2018. Since their opening, Anytime Fitness Echuca has brought together a team of highly skilled workers who make it their mission to get everyone motivated to be the healthiest version of themselves. The team was lucky enough to welcome Matt Noy, a personal trainer who brings with him a
wealth of experience, which can be tailored to an individual’s needs. After spending 13 years in training, he has a long list of qualifications including a Certificate III and IV in Fitness, Kinetic Link Training — level one in functional strength, punch level one in boxing, advanced nutrition level one and first aid. This self-coached star also has a whole list of personal achievements, but most notably being awarded second place at the 2019 ICN Worlds in the body building category. He also came third in the classic physique category of the same event and overall champion for men’s body building at the Australasian Natural Bodybuilding Association, just to name a few. But don’t let his achievements and body building past intimidate you all the way out of the gym, he’s here to help. >>
