PEOPLE
MEET OUR TEAM
Sharon
Owner and Head coach
Six years ago, Darren and I started Fortis as a place to train with friends. What began from humble beginnings has grown into a thriving, supportive fitness community that we’re incredibly proud of.
With the addition of our Fit Kids and Teen Angels classes last year, the Fortis Family has grown even stronger, inspiring and empowering athletes of all ages.
As a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, I’m passionate about coaching and helping others reach their potential. Competing as a Masters Athlete keeps me motivated and I thrive on embracing challenges as they come along.
For me, Fortis is about more than fitness - it’s about building strength, confidence and connection in every workout while striving to be 1% better every day!
Darren
owner and COACH
Watching Fortis evolve into the supportive, thriving community it is today has been an incredible journey - something we couldn’t have imagined when we first opened the doors six years ago!
My background in football, running and competing as a Masters Athlete drives my passion for fitness and coaching.
I love helping others push their boundaries, celebrate milestones, and discover their untapped potential.
For me, Fortis represents community, resilience and growth. Every session is an opportunity to grow stronger - physically and mentally - and I’m honored to be part of others' journeys as they rise to their challenges.
ROB
coach
My journey in the exercise industry began over 25 years ago as a fitness instructor at Paradice Fitness Centre in Botany. Since then my passion for health and fitness has taken me into the classroom and I’m proud to work as a
Senior Lecturer and Programme Coordinator
in Sport, Recreation and Exercise at Unitec.
What I love most about Fortis is the unbeatable group dynamic and social energy in every class. It’s not just an awesome place to coach -it’s the perfect place to work out and be part of a community that motivates and inspires every step of the way!
RENEE
COACH
After discovering fitness through a Mums & Bubs Bootcamp, I switched careers from Graphic Design to Personal Training in 2017 and became a Pre & Postnatal Coach in 2024.
I founded Nourish & Lift Fitness to help women and mothers return to fitness safely and effectively.
I joined Fortis as a member in 2023 and in 2024 I joined the team coaching Functional Fitness and Fit Kids classes.
ALEX
coach
Originally from the UK, I’ve spent the past 11 years training and coaching in fitness, strength and conditioning across various gyms.
Now as a police officer and a proud Masters athlete, functional fitness is vital to my work and overall well-being.
With a sporting background in ice hockey, football and rugby, fitness has always played a huge part in my life.
Coaching at Fortis is especially rewarding, as it allows me to share my passion for fitness while supporting an incredible community.
Cam
coach
Sports have always been a big part of my life - from martial arts to mountain biking and soccer - but the gym became my foundation. It’s where I learned the power of strength, consistency and dedication.
In 2023, I was lucky enough to join the amazing team at Fortis turning my passion for fitness into coaching. Helping others build strength, improve technique and achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding.
I’m proud to be part of a community that pushes limits, supports each other and thrives together
