ABOUT US
We do all things a little differently here at FBFM. The first being we train joints first, muscles second. Why? Because it is our duty to get you healthy, fit and strong and keep you that way for the rest of your life. Burnt out/sore/stiff joints don't have to be a thing as we age and we avoid this by training your joints in the best anatomical position.
Our priority is to get you healthy, fit and strong in the safest, best, most efficient and fun way possible.
All training sessions are 30minutes meaning less time in the gym and more time for you doing the things you love.
All classes & sessions cater to all fitness levels, injuries, challenges, etc - let us help get you moving.
Your time is NOW!
FBFM was intentionally built to be the opposite of most gyms. We wanted a fun and happy place for people to come and feel safe & at home. A clean, judgement-free zone, with no mirrors, a place to come and invest in YOU!
Home is where family meet and that's the culture we proudly have here.
We have 2 important rules here at FBFM.
Rule 1. Leave your shit at the door. If you've had a bad day, leave it at the door so you can come and invest 30mins in you. We want a happy place for people to come so we are here for you when you need us, but let's get sweaty first so we can attack the challenges of life with a clear head and some happy endorphins pumping through your body.
Rule 2. No judegement. We don't care if you're 20kg, 200kg or anywhere in between. We don't care how fast or fit you are just that you are here!

THIS IS WHO WE ARE
Meet our incredible team; Dean, Tania & Noah
We are a family run business and are committed to creating a space where you can fall in love with exercise and all it's benefits no matter what age or stage of life you are in. Community is at the heart of that space so we encourage laughs, smiles and connection where all ages and abilities cheer each other on. Respect for the effort is a natural source of inspiration within the FBFM community.
We love to create a comfortable place for families to exercise together so kids can grow up seeing exercise is a normal priority. We know first hand that if parents are lacking in health, self confidence and self belief then kids miss out on a side of their parents that teaches them vital life skills.
s.
Noah's experience and perspective expands what we offer as a team, as he knows what it can do for a young person to mature in a community that values health and growth.
We all live out the heart and spirit of FBFM at home and at play (it's not work for us).
We are also not afraid to let our individual personalities shine through, so you'll be guaranteed a good laugh. We love to have FUN!
TANIA POPPLESTONE
She goes by T-Pop, Poppy, Tan, Sweet & Mum (the last 2 she prefers from Dean and Noah but whoever members need her to be - she's there!)
She is fired up when it comes to Mums & families, couples training together, and women that are experiencing peri-menopause. Her gift to connect and relate together with her values of loyalty and authenticity, mean she is fully invested she is in every single client.
​
She won't hide the fact that being healthy, fit and strong has been a lifeline through the many phases of parenting. So when she gets in your corner to help you know how resilient you can be in strength and fitness settings, she knows it is building an inner strength you will be glad you had one day.
​
She has a conviction to help women feel confident so that their bodies don't feel like a burden or not worthy of being visible in their world.
Her personal transformation through exercise ignited a flame to help others find the same health and freedoms that her and her family have experienced. So rest assured she is heart felt in wanting your lifestyle to open up limitless opportunities and help you avoid disease that never has to be your story because your body is taken care of.
Dean refers to himself as "The Average Man" but he is far from average.
He has a love for "ridiculous" and the harder the challenge the better. When it comes to fitness challenges he is the one that says "that was awesome" when others are rolling on the floor gasping for air haha
Dean is a mechanic by trade so he has a gift for sniffing out the petrol head members and connecting with their passions. Connecting with what makes a person tick is Dean's unique gift and he knows those passions transcend into the types of goals someone is drawn towards.
He had a successful career as logistics manager for almost 20years before changing careers to equip himself to become an owner of a business that he believes passionately about.
He has studied life coaching because his truly believes that anyone has potential to live a limitless life in all areas of the mind and body.
​
He is a gentleman who still opens doors for his ladies and is affectionately known as "good cop" by his kids (yes his wife does raise her eyebrow at what title that leaves her with")
He loves people and firmly believes that they can escape the rut of average in their life when the prioritise being healthy fit and strong.
DEAN POPPLESTONE
Noah is the young pup of the team but what he lacks in laps around the sun, he makes up for in terrible dance moves & extra strong muscles.
​
He's the go to boxing king & will get you throwing down & punching hard!
​
He's a great example of blending strength & fitness but not being too serious about it that you can't enjoy the pleasures of life.
​
He's facial hair and haircuts are signature traits and he'd probably say they are the standard we all should be keeping.
​
He is the boss on the rower and bike keeping the lads in healthy competition to knock him of the podium, but his smile and "keep it humble" mantra keeps him the one to chase.
​
He grew up playing rep basketball so he knows what it takes to endure with mental toughness when the body is pushed to the limit. He is a beast on the barbell and weights and he loves to set you challenges because he sees potential in everyone, so there's nothing holding you back except yourself.
