Erin Owens - Tot & Tinies
I started calisthenics when I was 3 yrs old and it has been a major part of my life throughout the years since, not only as a performer but also assisting Tinies, Subbies and Juniors. I became a qualified level coach in 2020 and am excited to share my love of calisthenics with the girls and boys I coach and see their development as they learn and grow. Outside calisthenics I am a mum of 2 baby boys and I am a nurse. I love spending time with my family and friends, water sports and travel.

Kimberley Walkerden - Sub Juniors
I love calisthenics and I love working with kids. Calisthenics has been apart of my life for the last 50 years. I have been truly blessed to have coached for 38 years. I have seen students learn to count, learn their left from right and watched them grow up into beautiful young women who are still competing in Inters, Seniors and Masters. I have coached every section and like John Farnham I keep coming back from retirement - being on stage is so rewarding. Outside of calisthenics I am a safety consultant, love to cook and walk my dog, Tilly. If I could have been anything in the world I would have loved to have been a mum, but I have a husband, my fur baby and calisthenics family. I've realised not being a mum doesn't define you as a woman, but being a coach has definitely defined me. For this I am grateful.

Bec Shield - Juniors & Inters
Calisthenics has been my passion since 2006. I love the variety and performing on stage. I obtained my level 1 in 2017, and find it is so rewarding watching the girls and boys go from strength to strength. I love teaching. I currently work as an NDIS Assistant and run sports programs in primary schools and child care centers, I also enjoy playing netball, dancing and socialising with my friends. If I could do anything in the world I would live in New York City and perform on Broadway.

Ronnie Howlett - Seniors
My mum enrolled me in calisthenics when I was a little girl, 41 years later and coaching for the last 26 years I am still as passionate as ever. I love everything about calisthenics and I want the girls that I coach to love it with the same passion that I have. When they do, it makes all the time and hard work worth it. Outside of calisthenics I am a primary PE teacher. I love reading, swimming and socializing with friends. If I could do anything in the world, I would love to get paid to try out holiday destinations.

Jess Gemain - Seniors
Andrea Srkulj - Masters
My love of Calisthenics started over 22 years ago when I started as a Sub Junior. I literally live and breathe calisthenics, it brings me so much happiness and it is why over the years I have also assisted with the Sub Juniors, Juniors, Inters and Masters. In 2020 I became a level 1 coach, I did so because I want to share my love and experience of calisthenics with others and see them develop into the best they can be. Outside of calisthenics I am a Human Resources Manager. If I could do anything in the world it would be to play with puppies everyday because who doesn't love puppies?!

Lucky Pollock - Cali Fit
My love for calisthenics started 11 years ago when I was 8. I fell in love with the sport and all the amazing people I have met along the way. I achieved my development coaching in 2024. I thoroughly enjoy watching my teammates and students learn and grow. One of my favourite items would have to be freearm, I find it a fun and rewarding item. I also did dance for 8 years as well as studying dance at school and obtaining my certificate II. Outside of calisthenics I am doing a hairdressing apprenticeship. I love to learn new things and better myself in everything I do. I also love sharing my knowledge, helping others and spending time doing arts and crafts which fulfills my creative side. If I could do anything I would love to be the next Julie Fox, in my eyes she is an icon.
