Hi, My name is Jodie, Coach, and owner of CrossFit Nook. I am a Mum of three and lover of all things CrossFit. I have worked in the Fitness industry since I was 20 years old and have owned and operated CrossFit affiliates for over 7 years.
I fell in love with CrossFit after having my first child in 2015, after working in, and managing commercial gyms for many years, and having already completed my certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness, I was blown away at the effectiveness and variety that CrossFit offered. From someone who never described herself as a sporty person, I finally understood the buzz of being in love with a sport and I have never looked back.
To me CrossFit is the most efficient and effective way to change your life, as a woman I loved that I was no longer consumed with what I weighed on the scales, but with what weight I could move in the gym, how hard I could push myself and most of all I loved the community aspect.
I am passionate about one thing, and that is helping people to reach their full potential, inside and outside of the gym. I believe that CrossFit provides the best Methodology, Environment, Coaches, and above all else Community, making it a highly effective way to enhance your health and lifestyle.
I am a Level 2 CrossFit Coach and a Qualified Nutrition Coach. I am addicted to learning as many things as I can in order to help myself, my family and those around me achieve true wellness.
I have completed an Undergraduate Certificate in Human Biology, 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, CrossFit Kids course, Pre and Post Natal YTT, Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness, AFW Club Weightlifting / Sports Power Coach Level 1 and I am currently studying the effects of Sleep, Stress and Recovery in relation to changing your body composition.

CrossFit Level 1 Coach
I was an active participant in sports through most of my life, but by my mid-40s I was focussing too much on work and I’d become lazy and unfit.
So in late 2017 I began my CrossFit journey in Mackay. Initially, I started just to get into better shape. What I found was so much more.
I was hooked as soon as I experienced the results that CrossFit produced – and is still producing. Now in my early 50s, I’m stronger, fitter, and faster than ever before. No training I have done has come close to matching the results. And the best part is that I am still seeing improvements.
I love the variety and intensity that CrossFit provides, and with options to scale the workouts you can always get a great session no matter whether you are an experienced athlete or just starting out.
To help feed a competitive hunger, I have entered many team and individual CrossFit competitions over the years.
I’ve been training at CrossFit Nook since 2021. We’re a strong community with people from all walks of life. Everyone feels welcome, and we encourage, support, and push each other. I love the energy and camaraderie of our sessions.
So, to continue my passion for CrossFit, the next step was to get my Level 1 Coaching Certificate. I am excited to see our CrossFit Nook athletes from a different perspective and to be a small part of helping to improve their personal fitness and achieve their goals.

Hello, my name is Karen Towne and I’m a coach at CrossFit Nook. I love everything about CrossFit and am passionate about guiding others through their own CrossFit journey. After dancing and teaching dance my entire life, I embarked on my CrossFit journey back in 2018 when I reached a point, after having 3 kids that I needed to find something new for me. Something where I could learn new things, push myself to my limit ( physically and mentally) and maybe make some new friends.
I found all of this and so much more.
I found that my dance background has made me very body aware and I like to perfect the technical stuff. I’m not the heaviest lifter, the fastest or the most skilled, but thrive on the challenge.What I love most is that there is never an end to your CrossFit journey. There’s always a heavier weight to lift or a more technical move to strive for or a faster time!
I gained my Level 1 crossfit qualification in 2020.
I love coaching and helping people achieve their goals.My favourite thing is when we have been working on a movement and someone gets it for the very first time. I am their biggest cheerleader, I will be doing that happy dance right beside you.
I’m always keen to learn new ways to enhance my coaching in order to deliver the very best in every class. Keen to partake in the Level 2 course soon.
I believe that classes should be challenging and fun and aim to deliver this. I get to spend an hour with people in each class, and I aim to make it the best hour of their day.

Hey there! I'm Tony, and I'll tell you, CrossFit found me at just the right time – when I hit the big 5-0. Before that, I was already a certified personal trainer, helping people one-on-one to reach their fitness goals. But then, CrossFit came along and completely changed my game.
What got me hooked was how CrossFit is rooted in science and delivers results you can see and feel fast. It's not just about looking good; it's about being functionally fit and ready for anything life throws your way.
In 2016, I took the plunge and opened up my own CrossFit affiliate. Since then, I've been all in. It's become more than a job – it's my passion.
With certifications in Wellness Coaching, Nutrition Coaching, CrossFit Masters Coaching, CrossFit Level 2, and Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every session.
One of my greatest passions is working with older athletes, helping them break down predetermined age barriers. I love teaching people how to move functionally and gain much-needed strength to assist in the process of aging.
When you train with me, you're not just another client; you're part of a community dedicated to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a complete newbie, I'll meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals.

Hi, I’m Jess, a passionate CrossFit coach who began her journey training in 2018 as a young Mum looking to feel more empowered through fitness.
CrossFit has changed my life, by giving me a “I can always do better & be better attitude”. I will endeavor to continue to learn and grow as my coaching career unfolds. I initially signed up for a come and try “session” and was a registered OPEN athlete before I saw that weekend. After the birth of my 2nd son, and 3 local comps later, I decided it was time to get my CF-L1 in 2021 and give something back to the community that has given me a second home.
I find it rewarding to be inspired daily, watching athletes learning to trust and love their bodies, through discipline, diversity and sheer determination. There is something unique and exciting about like minded individuals who get to celebrate their fitness and promote better lifestyles in the community that CrossFit gives.
There is no feeling more satisfying than watching athletes achieve what they once thought was not possible, and grow though pushing their limits in resilience and mindset.
My goal is to ensure that people don’t ever suffer on their own, that they know everything is modifiable, and that coming to Nook will be the best part of their day!
You’ll find me asking for more squats and snatches, as I LOVE them!

If you’re sitting here reading reviews thinking should I, shouldn’t I? Just do it! Great group of people, fun classes, patient and professional coaches… the list goes on! Best thing I ever did to stop procrastinating and try something new! I still moan everyday but once it’s over I feel amazing! My physical strength has improved as well as my mental strength! I never thought I’d say it but after a few months I reckon crossfit has finally become a hobby!😜
