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.

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.

I began calisthenics at the age of 3, 51 years later I am still involved in the sport that has been the passion of my life. I have been coaching for 36 years and have coached all sections from Tinies through to Masters. I love the confidence that calisthenics installs in the students. I find coaching so rewarding and I love watching students learn new skills. My favourite item is clubs. When I'm not doing calisthenics I work full time in Finance and HR. If I could do anything in life I would become a real estate agent.

My mum enrolled me in calisthenics when I was a little girl, 40 years later and coaching for the last 25 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.

Andrea Srkulj - Masters

My love of Calisthenics started over 21 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?!

​
​I started calisthenics in 2011 as a Junior and was hooked from that very first class. I love the variety calisthenics offers, performing on stage and the friendships I have formed. In 2021 I became a level 1 coach. I was an assistant coach for 4 years and am now coaching the Masters section which I absolutely love. Outside of calisthenics I wish to pursue a career in hairdressing or become a paramedic. If I could do anything in the world I'd love to become a flight attendant so I could travel and explore this wonderful world of ours.

Lucky Pollock - Cali Fit
My love for calisthenics started 10 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.

​​​
I love calisthenics and I love working with kids. Calisthenics has been apart of my life for the last 49 years. I have been truly blessed to have coached for 37 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.
