Ajay Joshi
GROUP FITNESS MANAGER / PERSONAL TRAINER
Hi, I’m Ajay, I’m a BIG believer in achieving anything, whatever size, gender or age you are! I will be increasing your confidence and enhancing your mental capacity to help you to reach your goals, not only this, I want to show the world what you’re made of, how amazing you are! I love being creative and enjoy especially training endurance, high intensity interval training, Circuit training and team-based training.
I grew up in Sydney loving my sport and played club cricket and moved to Canberra when I was 17 in 2011 to study a design course at University of Canberra. This was the start of another stage of my journey. In 2011, started my first job as a casual employee at the AIS Shop, and still working there; this is where my confidence has been developed from, and nowadays I see what’s developing in the industry. Through out these years, I was lucky enough to live at the Australian Institute of Sport for 4 years. This has enhanced my knowledge in nutrition and of an elite athlete’s lifestyle.
2012, was the biggest year for me mentally, I was the driver of a rolled car trying to escape to the coast for the weekend with my mate on board. This was the worst I had ever felt in my life. Throughout the time I had been living in Canberra before the car crash, I had unhealthily gained 12 Kg within 16 months, I had never walked foot into a gym or outdoor fitness session in my life and also didn’t play a sport throughout this time. From here, I had a hard look in the mirror and made a goal. This was to play AFL for a local club in 2013, thus I finally stepped foot into a gym and group classes. I was at 82kg and hit 70Kg in 6 months, and thought of trying a new sport instead (hockey), which I successfully did and finally started playing club AFL in 2015 and still am.
The best step I had ever made in my life was to join a gym/ group fitness sessions and would love someone who has never stepped foot to do the same and experience the feeling what fitness goers are feeling and what it’s about.

Tim Hazell
PERSONAL TRAINER / GROUP CLASS INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I’m Tim, Personal trainer at Define Fitness. I am a young trainer with a passion for helping people of all ages achieve their goals.
I developed my interest for fitness through a strong involvement in a number of sports around the Canberra region including cricket and soccer. This is where I first learnt the need for fitness and exercise and also the enjoyment it can bring physically and mentally. My first exercise programs I was instructed to do was from these sporting teams and that was where it all began for me. While I have always had the luxury of keeping fit through playing sport, I also have discovered that further exercise doesn’t do any harm and quite often can leave you feeling refreshed.
I firmly believe exercise is as much about physical strength as it is mental strength and I feel as much enjoyment from seeing physical progress as I do seeing the client in a happy state of mind.

G’Day I’m Ethan! I’ve been into fitness since I was a little kid running around playgrounds and having the time of my life and have kept that same energy and enjoyment as a personal trainer to this day. I started off as a cross country runner but then also got into Crossfit and since then have also started stand up paddle boarding and basketball. I have had the opportunity to experience many different types of exercise and gym environments so I can understand that each person has their own personal approach to exercise and wants to train in different ways. Because of this I like to be a flexible trainer and adapt to your needs as a client. I believe fitness shouldn’t just be about achieving your goals but also having fun while doing so, because that makes it so much more enjoyable for everyone!
I like to be energetic and encouraging towards everyone and while fun is a big factor we are always focused on helping you achieve your goals and be able to make new ones to help you grow even more. My passion is being able to help people grow through making sessions that work for them and encouraging them to push through to get where they want and seeing the look of accomplishment on someone’s face when they do reach that goal no matter how big or small. I specialize in barbell lifting, strength and conditioning, long distance running, stand up paddle boarding and kettlebell training.

I honour and respect each lineage and teachers individually. They taught and influence my teaching. I combined each element of its lineage to be offered in class in a more practical approach. My yoga class infuse with passion of dynamic and explorative yoga practice that nurtures self-inquiry into mental and physical awareness.
