About us
Meet The Walsh's
OUR STORY
We are the Walsh’s! Drew and I have been together 23 years, married for 17 and have 4 children, Cooper 16, Charliee 14, Bayley 12 and Isla 10. I have lived in the Rockingham area my entire life. Drew moved to Rockingham from Scotland when he was 14 and now calls Australia home although he favours his Scottish accent over our Aussie one.
Drew studied Health and Physical Education at University and is currently working as a Health and PE Teacher and Head of Year 8. I work full time at the gym doing ‘all the things’. We enjoy exercising and leading a healthy lifestyle (kinda a prerequisite when owning a gym). Drew has a passion for triathlons, I like to lift heavy things, I love to read, Drew is more of an audio book kinda guy. We love camping with the kids and try to head away at every opportunity on adventures exploring WA. We love mountain biking, sup boarding, bush walking and sunsets (sunrise is a little early for us).
My Journey
I joined Balanced as a member when I was 15 back when we were located in Cessnock Way (currently West Coast Hifi), this was when our Group Fitness room was part of the main gym and we did Step and Pump in front of all the gym goers. In 2002 Balanced moved to our current location in Goddard Street and I was employed as part of the administration team. In my years working at the club I have worn many hats including receptionist, sales consultant, group fitness coordinator, instructor and for the last few years Administration Manager.
LEAP OF FAITH
In April 2022 Kevin hung up his hat as owner of Balanced Health and Fitness and Drew and I took a leap of faith and took on the title of owners. We love the benefits that exercise and great nutrition can have on your mental and physical health and believe that we should all have a space that we feel comfortable to train in with no judgement or expectation. We hope that Balanced can be that place for you!
