    Nico

    Owner and Head Coach at False Bay Fitness. With a degree in Sport Science, 17 years as a Personal Trainer, and over 13 years of CrossFit coaching experience, I'm passionate about helping people move better, get stronger, and achieve goals they never thought possible.

    Through personal training, I focus on strength and conditioning, helping everyday adults build strength, stay mobile, and train with confidence as life gets busier and bodies change. Alongside coaching, I love growing the False Bay Fitness community with my wife, Joss, and creating a space where people of all ages and fitness levels feel challenged, supported, and excited to train.

    With years of experience as a strength and conditioning coach for rugby players and teams, I bring a performance-focused approach to coaching while helping each person build the skills, resilience, and mindset needed to reach their goals. I also handle our more technical coaching in weightlifting and gymnastics, breaking down movement so members can train these skills safely and with good form.

    Melanie

    Physiotherapist and Coach at False Bay Fitness with over 15 years of clinical experience. In 2024, I completed my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer certification, allowing me to combine my physiotherapy background with functional fitness coaching to better support people in and out of the gym.

    I enjoy helping people move with confidence, whether they're recovering from an injury, managing pain, or working towards new fitness goals. My approach combines hands-on treatment, tailored exercise, and practical guidance to help you build strength, improve movement, and feel your best for the long term.

    Amy

    Personal Trainer and Coach at False Bay Fitness with a background as a professional mountain biker and over 12 years of elite athletic experience. I'm also a trail runner and CrossFitter, so endurance and strength training are a big part of who I am, both on and off the gym floor.

    I believe training should fit into your life, not the other way around. Whether you're returning to fitness, building confidence, or working towards a new challenge, my goal is to create structured, enjoyable training that helps you achieve lasting results.

    Pilates Instructor and the friendly face behind much of the day-to-day running at False Bay Fitness. From welcoming new members and managing memberships to handling the admin and finances, I help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

    As Nico's wife and mum to our three kids, who you'll often see around the gym, False Bay Fitness is more than just a workplace, it's home. I love being part of a community where people feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged, whether they're joining their first class or have been training with us for years.
