The team you’ll be meeting with
When you come in for your consult, you’ll be sitting with one of these legends. Each one has been on the gym floor for years and knows what it actually takes to get results – in the gym, in the kitchen, in your head.
Mark Capelin
Founder, Kirrawee & Taren Point
Mark’s the owner and the heartbeat of tribe. He’s been building this community since 2011 and knows exactly what it takes to help people stick with it. If you want someone who gets the big picture – fitness, mindset, lifestyle – Mark’s your guy.
Nick Chapman
Co-Owner, Kirrawee & Taren Point
Nick is the guru. Technique, nutrition, macros, sleep, mental health – he knows it all, and he knows how to make it make sense for you. He’s not just about what happens in the gym – he’s about everything that goes into actually getting you results. He’s also a weapon on the spin bike, if that sways you.
Courtney Rixon
Member Experience Kirrawee
Courtney’s the engine room at Kirrawee. A qualified trainer with a teaching background (PE before tribe), she knows the training side as well as she knows the people side. Her job is making sure every member’s in the right class, training well, and properly looked after – in the gym and out of it. Warm, inviting, builds rapport in seconds. Plays League Tag on weekends, which probably explains the pace she keeps on the floor.
Sam Howard
Member Experience Taren Point
Sam’s your point of contact at Taren Point. Years on the gym floor, now running member experience – which is a fancy way of saying he’s the guy who makes sure you’ve got what you need. Questions, support, a nudge in the right direction. If something’s not right, he’s onto it. And if you’re not pushing towards where you want to be? That’s the conversation he’ll be having with you.
What you’re walking into
This isn’t a gym you slot into. It’s a community you become part of.
Members who’ve been showing up since 2011 – and still front up at 5am. Coaches who know your name, your goals, and what you had for breakfast. A floor where everyone gets pushed, no one gets judged, and a lot of people end up with a whole new circle of mates by accident.
Two locations. Run Club on Saturdays. Group Personal Training, Reformer, Spin, Boxing, PT, our famous weights class LIFT and Wellness (traditional rock sauna and cold plunge pool @ Kirrawee). – whatever shape your training takes, we’ve got the largest variety in the Shire to ensure you get your results.
what to expect at the consult
It’s a sit-down, not a sales pitch.
We’ll listen to your story, work out what you’re after, and if it feels like a fit, put together a plan built around your goals, your schedule and your budget. We’ll walk you through the pricing too so you have all the info you need. Sound good?
FAQs
Do I need to be fit to join?
Not even a little bit. We coach every level, from people who haven’t trained in years to those chasing PBs. The whole point of the consult is to work out where you’re at and build from there.
What happens after I book a free consult?
You’ll get a call from us to lock in a time (if you requested a call back) and ask a few quick questions, so your coach knows a bit about you before you walk in. Then you come in, sit down with a senior coach, get a plan, hear the pricing, and decide from there. No pressure either way.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely. The more the merrier – bring them along to the consult.
What if I just want to chat first?
Request a call back instead of a consult. One of our team will ring you, answer whatever you want to ask, and you can take it from there. No commitment.
Which location should I choose?
Whichever is easier for you to get to. tribe has two homes – Kirrawee and Taren Point – and the coaching and community are the same at both. Pick a location when you book and we’ll match you with a senior coach there.
