McKern Coaching

01/06/2026

It’s crazy to think it’s been almost 12 months since I officially launched McKern Coaching into the world.

And honestly, I can’t believe how much has happened in that time.

Personal training is still a huge part of what I do, but it’s grown into something much bigger than that.

If anything, this last year has confirmed how passionate I am about helping people see what they’re capable of, not just in the gym, but in all areas of their life.

I started the Mindset Project and over 100 people have now gone through it.

That led into Mindset Mastery, which has been running for a few months now and is already becoming one of my favourite parts of what I do. The group we have in there has been incredible.

Walk & Talk started as well, and so did the podcast, and both have become such a big part of what I care about.

The fitness, the mindset, the conversations and the community all feed into each other.

To every client, every person who has trusted me, supported me, joined a challenge, come to a walk, listened to the podcast, or been part of this journey in any way, thank you.

I’ve got some pretty exciting plans for where this is heading next.

Almost one year in, and it feels like we’re only just getting started 🤲

A reminder to stop comparing your whole life to everyone else’s highlight reel.

Over the last 5 weeks I’ve had the opportunity to speak at both Headspace and Bendigo Real Estate.

A few years ago, I never would’ve pictured myself standing in front of a room sharing my story.

But I’ve learnt that sometimes the things that scare you are the things you need to lean into.

Both talks were a chance to share a bit of my own journey, how I found my way into fitness, and how that eventually led to Walk & Talk Bendigo, the Mindset Project, and the work I now do through McKern Coaching.

Very grateful for the opportunity to share this message with more people.

Pretty wild to be writing this again, but for the second year in a row I’ve been nominated as a finalist for Snap Fitness Personal Trainer of the Year across Australia & NZ.

More than anything, I see this as a reflection of the incredible clients, colleagues, and people I’ve had around me along the way.

I’ll be flying out tomorrow morning for the Gala awards night on the Gold Coast.

Massive thank you to all my clients for letting me do what I do, and to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

And of course, a huge thank you to Mark, Emma, and my whole crew at Snap Fitness Bendigo and Epsom for all your support.

Couldn’t do it without you guys alongside me.

Pretty bloody grateful.

People don’t need more information.
They need the right environment.

So I’m putting a small group together.

4 weeks.
Just to see what happens when the right people show up and do the work together.

Spots will be limited for the first one.

If you want to be part of it, send me a message 👍

Doing everything right… but not losing body fat?

You’re probably not far off.
You’re just missing the small things.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in the gym:

People trying to lose fat by eating as little as possible.

Your body still needs fuel to train.

Better training → better results.

5 stories people tell themselves that keep them stuck.

Most people don’t realise how powerful the stories in their head are.

“I’ll start when life settles down.”
“I’m not confident enough.”
“I’m not disciplined.”
“What if I fail?”
“I’m not ready yet.”

They feel like facts.

But they’re just stories.

And stories can be rewritten.

This is the kind of work I love exploring with people.
