Freedom Health & Fitness

In 2017 Janie Coutts took a chance. She had only been working for Freedom Health & Fitness a short while, and with some encouragement from supportive family and friends, she came to the decision she wanted to make this her new life.

The effervescent Janie Coutts, now the owner of Freedom Health & Fitness Beaudesert, sits down with SR Magazine to tell us more about that leap of faith.

"I’d been a member of the gym since the day it first opened in 2005. I ended up working on reception for two years during which time I decided to complete my certification to become a personal trainer and class instructor. I then decided to bite the bullet and I approached the owners about selling. I could see the huge potential for the gym and how this career would give me great joy in my life.

It can be very different journey for people, some want to simply move their bodies, or do something for themselves, it isn’t all about weight loss and appearance."

What’s your daily inspiration?

"I’ve seen people gain wonderful self confidence, it really is absolutely amazing. Sure they’ve changed their appearance, but seeing how proud they are of themselves is heart warming! It makes me feel so proud! That is my daily inspiration for doing what I do."

What advice do you like to give to your clients when they first start this journey?

“Be kind to yourself, it's hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all the time!” We are so hard on ourselves!

What can people expect when they visit Freedom Health & Fitness Beaudesert?

"Well firstly they can expect to be greeted by our amazing staff, our team are a huge focus for me, the staff and instructors make this facility was it is. They’re invaluable because they understand the journey our members might be on, be it fitness, weight loss, health or mental health. They’re wonderful motivators and supporters!

In terms of the equipment and layout, we offer a range of training options and aim to appeal to everyone. We have various separate training areas; functional training, boxing, cardio equipment and weights. Our timetable is extremely comprehensive. With the help of some fantastic instructors we are able to offer a variety of yoga classes, Les Mills RPM and Body Pump provide awesome upbeat workouts, Boot Camp and functional training sessions in the Sin Bin. We also have lovely Sauna facilities and Kids Club for those Mum’s and Dad’s who just need some time to themselves."

What does Freedom Health & Fitness Beaudesert look like in the future?

"I’ve made plans to upgrade the flooring in our upstairs Studio and am always looking at new equipment options and training ideas. Watch this space. But the future is all about growing our membership and community…we have different age groups at all different stages, so we just want to continue being the friendly fitness centre that caters for everyone."
