We’ve officially levelled up…

As a coach, I’ve watched people walk through my doors exhausted…
Doing all the ā€œright thingsā€
Training hard
Pushing through
Holding everything together

And still feeling like their body just… isn’t responding.

So we've built something different.

Not more intensity.
Not more punishment.
But something most people completely overlook…

Recovery.

Not the fluffy kind.
Not the ā€œlie on a mat and hope for the bestā€ kind.

I’m talking about intentional, intelligent recovery
That actually helps your body regulate, respond, and change.

šŸ”„ The sauna is now LIVE at DG Fitness
šŸ”„ And with it… The Forge Method: Recovery Bundle

This is where we teach you:
– How to use heat to support your nervous system
– When (and how) to use cold exposure without burning yourself out
– How your breath controls everything from stress → digestion → results
– And how to actually listen to your body instead of fighting it

Because here’s the truth…

You don’t get results from how hard you train.
You get results from how well your body can recover.

This isn’t just a sauna.
This is a new standard.

šŸ’› Unlimited members receive one complimentary session per week
šŸ’› Casual sessions are $30 (bring your partner, share the experience)

Bookings LIVE in the app, or DM me for more info.

Let’s do this properly.
Strength. Strategy. Soul.

We’ve leveled up… and I mean leveled up šŸ”„

This space was never just about training.
It’s about how you feel when you walk out of here.

Strong. Clear. Grounded. Reconnected.

And now… we’ve taken that even further.

Our sauna is officially ready!

A place to:
– Recover your body
– Calm your nervous system
– Unwind after a big day
– Or simply sit, breathe and be…

Bring your partner.
Bring a friend.
Or take the time for yourself

Because this isn’t just fitness…
This is Strength. Strategy. Soul.

✨ Unlimited members → you get one complimentary sauna session
✨ Everyone else → $30 per 45min session (yes, you can share it šŸ‘€)

Bookings will be live in the app soon…
But for now — DM me to lock your spot

We are so proud of what this space is becoming ā¤ļø

And even more proud of the people in it x

Let’s keep building Warriors.

03/04/2026

Warriors Unite will be a celebration of life tomorrow.

Since my brother Ben took his life in 2005…
Australia has lost close to 50,000 men the same way.

That’s not just a number…
That’s someone’s brother.
Someone’s partner.
Someone’s dad.

Right now… in our country…
we are losing 6 to 7 men every single day.

One every few hours.

This isn’t just a workout…
it’s a space to connect… to move… to be seen…
and to remind ourselves that we’re not meant to do this alone.

Everyone welcome, sign in now x

Are you turning up to training on coffee… and hoping good vibes will get you through?

If so… we need to talk.

Because that’s not strategy. That’s survival.

And you cannot build a strong body from an under-fuelled one.

Today my clients received The Forge Method Pre and Post Training Fueling Guide šŸ”„

Not fluff.
Not guesswork.
Not another ā€œeat lessā€ approach.

But a clear, structured way to:

šŸ‘‰ Fuel for performance
šŸ‘‰ Recover properly
šŸ‘‰ Build strength outside the gym... not just inside it

Because what you do in your session matters… but what you do AFTER?

That’s where the results are built.

I don’t just coach workouts.

I coach people to:
āœ”ļø eat with intention
āœ”ļø train with purpose
āœ”ļø and stop relying on caffeine to carry them through life

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start doing this properly… you know where to find me.

SHE’S BACK…

Some people walk into your life…
and completely change the way you experience it.

Rhoda was that for me.

We met in a place that challenged us in more ways than one... and somewhere between the chaos, the tears and the ā€œare we seriously doing this?ā€ moments…

we found each other.

And then…
we became those people.

The loud crazy ones.
The ones making ridiculous videos when we probably shouldn’t have been 🤣
The ones who chose laughter when things felt so heavy.

And somehow… everyone came along for the ride.

Fast forward…

She moved 7 hours away šŸ’”
And while life kept moving… something was always missing.

But next weekend…

MY GIRL IS BACK.

And not just for a visit…

šŸ‘‰ She’s stepping into Warriors Unite to coach!

This session?

It won’t just be a workout.

It will be wild. sweaty. hilarious. emotional. electric.

The kind of session where you walk in as yourself…
and walk out feeling like a completely different human.

āš ļø Only 20 spots available.
(and trust me… they will go FAST)

Afterwards... we hang, we laugh, we soak it all in…
ā˜•ļø Coffee is for members + participants only (you’ve gotta earn it šŸ˜)

This isn’t just a class.

It’s a reunion.
It’s a celebration.
It’s two women who went through something together…
coming back to create something powerful.

Let’s make some noise for Rhoda šŸ”„

Trying harder isn’t the problem… It’s how you’re set up.

Look around this space.

Nothing here is random.
Every piece of equipment is placed with purpose.
Every station has intention.
Every movement is part of something bigger.

Because results don’t come from doing more…

They come from doing the right things, in the right order, for long enough to matter.

And your body works the same way.

When your training, your nutrition, your recovery… are all working together.
That’s when things start to shift.

Not overnight.

But consistently.
Quietly.
Powerfully.

Just like this space… it’s all set up for a reason. šŸ”„

My Instagram feed will probably never be full of workout videos.

Not because the work isn’t happening… but because when my clients are here, my focus is on them.

Watching form.
Coaching movement.
Listening.
Supporting.
Holding space for whatever they’re carrying that day.

Most of the women who walk through my doors aren’t feeling like fitness models.
They’re tired. Busy. Perimenopausal. Overwhelmed. Stressed.

And yet they still show up.

That quiet courage deserves privacy, not a camera.

So instead of workout clips, I’ll share something that matters far more.

The words of the women doing the work. This review paints the perfect picture of what you need to know about my space.

This is why The Forge exists.

Happy birthday to one of the most glorious humans I’ve ever met. Leanne, an extremely adored client here at Donna Gunn Fitness, brings endless happiness and joy to the space. She inspires us all everyday with her dedication to staying fit and active in the face of adversity. She makes each and every day count, her zest for life is contagious. We’re so grateful to have her in our community.

We all love you so much Leanne ā¤ļø

This morning Pilates and Jo handed me a slice of humble pie.

The aeroplane move… balancing on one leg, hinging forward… and suddenly my body was shaking like a leaf.

And for a split second, that little voice popped up…

ā€œYou look ridiculous.ā€
ā€œYou should be better than this.ā€
ā€œYou’re the coach… shouldn’t this be easy?ā€

But here’s the truth most people never say out loud.

Growth almost always begins with feeling uncomfortable.

Weak.
Unsteady.
Out of your depth.
Like the newest person in the room.

And that feeling… that vulnerable, slightly embarrassing moment…

That’s not failure.

That’s the exact place where strength is forged.

Most people quit here.
Because the ego hates being a beginner.

But the people who transform their bodies… their health… their lives…

They learn to stay in the room when they feel wobbly.

They keep showing up.
They keep trying.
They keep moving.

Today Pilates reminded me of something I tell my clients all the time:

You don’t have to be good at something to start.

You just have to be brave enough to begin.

And if you ever feel silly, weak, or like you’re the least coordinated person in the room…

Good.

That means you’re doing something new.

And that’s where the magic lives.

Keep showing up.

This is the heaviest weight I have ever lifted.

155kgs.

No, not on a barbell.
It was on my body.

For years I carried it everywhere.

Fear.
Grief.
Shame.
Doubt.

It showed up on the scale, but the real weight was the story I believed about myself.

That I wasn’t capable.
That change was too hard.
That this was just ā€œwho I wasā€.

Until one day I decided something different.
Not perfectly. Not dramatically. Just a quiet decision to start showing up.

One healthier meal. One session. One better choice.
Again. And again.

My 75kg weight loss took time. Strength didn’t arrive overnight.
It was forged slowly through repetition, through setbacks, through learning to trust myself again.

Today when people walk into my space, they see barbells and training sessions.

But what I really see is something else.
People learning that they are stronger than they ever believed.

Because the heaviest weight we ever lift… is the story we carry about ourselves.

If you are ready to rewrite your story, this space is for you.

THE DG FITNESS REFERRAL PROGRAM HAS LAUNCHEDšŸ”„

This space is growing because of you.
Your energy.
Your commitment.
Your belief in what we’re building here.

And the greatest compliment you can give a coach…
is trusting us enough to recommend us to someone you care about.

Referrals tell me that we’re doing something right.
That the programming matters.
That the space feels good.
That the community we’re building is worth sharing.

So from today, when you refer someone who joins DG Fitness, we celebrate you for it.

Here’s how it works:

YOU GET TO CHOOSE:

šŸ”„ $100 LSKD Voucher
OR
šŸ”„ 1 Week Complimentary Training

AND the new Warrior you bring in receives a $50 LSKD Voucher to kickstart their journey in some new gear!

So if you have a friend, partner, colleague or neighbour who you think would thrive here…

Bring them in. We’ll take exceptional care of them.

Because the best communities aren’t built with advertising. They’re built through people who believe in the mission.

And for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

So you maybe wondering… Who is Donna Gunn?

I am a Wife, a Mum to 5 beautiful children and a registered Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner. I have lived through many painful life events from the su***de of my brother, losing my Dad to terminal illness and a separation with children. The courage required to rise above these life events combined with my qualification in RTT, and over 20 years in corporate leadership roles in the mining sector, culminated in Unleash the Warrior being born.

This tribe of warriors are dedicated to helping as many people as possible, live their best lives without it being a financial burden or taking years to achieve. I believes that everyone has an inner warrior, and the best version of themselves is just waiting to be unleashed.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) was founded by Marisa Peer. This powerful therapy is a hybrid of hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT and talk therapy. RTT’s technique is based on the scientific phenomenon of neuroplasticity, which helps my clients literally rewire their minds for incredible, rapid and permanent results.
