REBUILDING MEMBERS: Juggling motherhood, full time study, part time work and still working hard at the gym

Caitlyn Davey • July 8, 2025

“I got sick, and after being sick, I wanted to look after myself; I got into eating better and exercising. I feel the healthiest I’ve ever felt.” Samantha is a mother of two, studying nursing (full time), working part time as a hairdresser and she is dedicated to her health and fitness – working out regularly at Rebuild as well as taking arduous care of her nutrition.  She’s Rebuild Health & Fitness’s member of the month for this month - celebrating our members who show tenacity and commitment regularly in gym - and outside. She remains dedicated to her training, pushing hard in the gym. The coaches applaud her for being ‘trainable, friendly and enjoyable to have in class’. James says: 'Sam is an absolute pleasure to coach and be around, she’s a quiet achiever, her improvements have been nothing short of brilliant and I really do enjoy having her as a part of Rebuild Health & Fitness.”  The 29-year-old mother of two joined the Rebuild community in July last year, after relocating to Brisbane from Rockhampton and says though it’s tough sometimes, it’s the people that make it enjoyable. She says: “I love the community vibe – I like the people at Rebuild.” She says she loves the support at the gym and felt welcome from day one. “The coaches – and the people - are my favourite part. I feel like everyone is very encouraging and they actually take the time to know everybody and I think that a lot of gyms miss that. No one really cares about you - you’re just another number. But here, everyone knows everyone, and they want you to do better.” Sam is working on building up her strength, to nail gymnastics work: “My goal is to get stronger, I want to do one pull-up, that’s a goal for me.” You'll typically see Sam working hard during either the 9:30am or 4:30pm classes at Rebuild Health & Fitness, quietly getting it done.  Well done Sam!

Finding the best gym in Wynnum isn’t about who has the biggest space or the flashiest equipment. It’s about finding a place where you can train effectively, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process. Whether you’re new to exercise, getting back into fitness, or chasing performance goals, here’s what to look for when choosing the right gym in Brisbane’s Bayside. 1. Look for Coaching, Not Just Classes A good gym gives you more than a timetable. The best gyms in Wynnum have qualified coaches who teach proper technique, scale workouts for all levels, and help you progress safely. At Rebuild Health & Fitness, every session is coach-led. That means expert eyes on your movement, accountability when you need it, and guidance to make sure you’re not just moving — you’re improving. Tip: Ask any gym how they coach members during sessions, not just what classes they offer. 2. Check the Programming (Not Just the Playlist) A great gym doesn’t make you guess what to do. The training should follow a structured plan built around strength, conditioning and recovery. Random workouts can burn calories, but they don’t build lasting results. Rebuild’s programming is designed by professional coaches using sports science principles like progressive overload, recovery balance and functional strength. That’s how our members lift heavier, move better and stay injury-free. Keyword focus: “structured strength and conditioning in Wynnum” | “best group fitness Capalaba” 3. Community Is the Real Difference You’ll stay consistent when you train somewhere you actually want to go. The best gyms in Wynnum and Capalaba have strong communities — people who celebrate your PBs, notice when you miss a session, and make training the highlight of your day. At Rebuild, community is everything. Our members range from beginners to seasoned athletes, but everyone’s working towards the same goal: becoming a stronger, happier, more capable version of themselves. Real talk: You can’t fake culture. Visit the gym at peak time and see how it feels. 4. Ask About Progress Tracking If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Look for gyms that track strength, performance and consistency — not just calories burned. When you can see progress in the data, motivation naturally follows. Rebuild uses training logs and benchmarks so you can literally see yourself getting fitter over time. Whether it’s your first squat or your 100th power clean, we’ll help you measure what matters.

But the cheapest or closest gym isn’t always the best choice. If you’re investing time and energy, make it count with coaches who care about your goals and have the experience to get you there. Rebuild’s coaching team includes qualified strength and conditioning coaches, nutrition experts, and rehab specialists — so you get complete support, not quick fixes. 6. Try It First The best way to know if a gym is right for you? Experience it. Book a class, meet the coaches, and talk to the members. At Rebuild, we encourage everyone to come in, ask questions, and see firsthand what makes us one of the best gyms in Wynnum and Capalaba. Ready to See the Difference? Join a community that’s focused on more than workouts — it’s about building strength, confidence, and consistency. 👉 Book your first session at Rebuild Health & Fitness (Wynnum and Capalaba locations available)
