Our Story
Everyone knows that fitness is good for you. At Temper we make it achievable. Training in a safe, supportive environment under passionate, experienced coaches, you'll achieve things you may never thought possible - maybe your first pull-up, a handstand, a box jump, a lifting PB, the possibilities are endless & we celebrate them all.
We have members from all walks of life – students, teenagers, parents, athletes, weekend warriors, employers and employees, individuals with short and long-term health concerns and everything in between.
Our Strength & Conditioning (T60) program offers two levels so whether you’re new to our style of training or a seasoned veteran, we’ve got what you need to push your limits. Within these levels we adjust to your needs, whether that be a movement you’re working towards, a modification to cater for an injury, or a more challenging variation to test your performance.
Meet The Coaching Team
Our coaches have diverse backgrounds and experience, but all are passionate about supporting our members to exercise safety, encourage good habits that support longevity, and make our culture inclusive and fun!
Owner / Head Coach
Kate
Our head honcho and fearless leader, Kate has been inspiring members to be their best since 2016. Passionate about empowering people to live healthy, independent lives, Kate finds watching members enjoy classes and build their confidence the greatest reward.
Kate readily admits that cardio is not her fave, and would choose a lift (squat cleans and push press in particular) every time, but she recognises and coaches the value of a well rounded training skillset and capacity.
Coach
Paige
Growing up as a junior elite athlete, Paige has had extensive experience as the recipient of high performance coaching, and she strives to impart the same high standards to her own coaching practice.

A new Mum herself, Paige is tackling her own goals of regaining strength and fitness whilst respecting and honoring the miracle her body created.
Coach
