While a lot of gyms slowed down over Christmas…we kept showing up.

Not because we had to.
Not to prove anything.
But because bodies don’t stop needing movement just because the calendar says “holiday.”

For some, training over Christmas wasn’t about progress or goals... it was about regulation.
Routine.
Mental health.
Feeling like themselves in the middle of the blur.

And now, as work ramps up and life speeds up again, this is your reminder:

You don’t need to be extreme.
You don’t need to start over.
You just need to come back.

Consistency isn’t about perfection.
It’s about returning... again and again... even when things feel messy.

If the past few weeks knocked you off rhythm, that’s okay.
There’s a place for you here.
We’ll meet you where you are at and help you move forward, one session at a time.

Welcome back. We've got you x

2025 changed the way I work... and the way I lead.
It stripped things back to what actually matters.

There were 4am starts.
Late nights.
Pages filled.
Ideas pulled apart and rebuilt with intention.

Not for noise.
Not for applause.
But for depth... and the impact it creates.

I watched people walk in carrying armour… and walk out lighter.
Stronger.
Confident.
More themselves.

And I knew, deep in my heart... I was on the right path.

Because 2026?
2026 isn’t about doing more.

It’s about expansion with intention.
Depth over noise.
Strength with soul.
A space that holds you, challenges you and lets you exhale all at once.

I won’t say much yet.
But if you’ve felt the shift this year...
If you’ve trained with me and experienced the difference... you already know.

Something powerful is coming.
And it’s going to change the way we train, move and show up in our lives.

2026… The foundations are set. Now we build...

Merry Christmas from the Gunns!

From our little DG Fitness family to yours... we hope today is full of laughter, connection, second servings and moments of joy.

If there’s one thing we want you to remember tomorrow, it’s this:

✨ You are not here to count calories.
✨ You are not here to “be good.”
✨ You are not here to be perfect.

You are here to live.
To enjoy.
To be held by the moment, not stressed by it.

Christmas is not a test you pass... it’s a day to lean into joy, connection, gratitude and the people who matter most. So slow down and simply be.

And from the bottom of our hearts... Thank you.

Thank you for showing up this year... not just in the gym, but for yourselves.
Thank you for trusting us with your health, your goals and your stories.
Thank you for being part of this wild, powerful community we’re building... one rep, one breath, one breakthrough at a time.

2026 is going to be huge. Brand new beginnings. Epic goals to chase.
But for today?
Just be here.
Just be you.
And enjoy every glorious moment.

This season can feel loud, rushed, full… and a little overwhelming if you’re carrying a big year on your shoulders.

So here’s your reminder:

Slow down.
Breathe.
Let this season hold you… not hurry you.

You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to push through.
You don’t need to carry everything.

Take moments... even tiny ones... to exhale, soften your edges and come back home to yourself.

And if you need grounding, safety, or space to process…
I’m holding that space for you, just like always.
Through the highs, the heaviness, the healing and everything in between.

This time of year isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling more present, more connected and more you. You deserve that.

Rest when you need. Savour what you love. And remember… your health is built over months and years, not a few festive days.

I hope this week gives you moments of lightness, joy and connection in whatever way feels right for you đź’›

Today, every single one of my clients received something powerful…

Their SMART Goal Setting Guide.

And honestly? It’s going to change how they step into 2026... and their identity.

This isn’t a worksheet.
It isn’t a checklist.
It’s a full roadmap for becoming the woman they’ve been trying to meet for YEARS.

Inside the guide, they’re learning things like:

🔥 Why motivation doesn’t matter... identity does.
When you become the woman who follows through, the habits follow too.

🔥 How to break goals into 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months so it stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling achievable.

🔥 Why the smallest habit you commit to on your worst day is the one that changes your whole life. Not the big overhaul. The tiny proof.

🔥 How to write the story of the woman you’ll be in 5 years so your brain stops dragging you back to the past and starts pulling you toward your future.

My clients don’t just get training and nutrition.
They get emotional clarity.
Nervous system safety.
Identity work.
Mindset rewiring.
And tools that will shape them for LIFE.

If you want a future you’re proud to walk into... comment DG GOALS and I’ll send you a sneak peek.

The path is the point.
Not the finish line. Not the “after photo.”
Not the version of you you’re trying so hard to rush toward.

It’s the tiny choices you make today.
The moments you show up when you don’t feel ready.
The way you decide again and again to honour your body, your energy and your life.

Slow down.
Breathe.
Be here for it.

Because when you stop sprinting toward the “end result,” you finally realise…
the transformation is happening in every step you're taking right now.

MEET THE GUNN TEAM

Strength. Strategy. Soul. (And a whole lot of heart.)

At DG Fitness, you don’t just get trainers... you get the team built on expertise, experience, resilience, deep love and living a life of purpose.

Donna is the heart-led force behind the DG brand... a Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and AUSactive Accredited Personal Trainer who rebuilt her life from the inside out, losing 75kg and keeping it off for five years.

She’s walked the path her clients are walking, and she brings honesty, compassion and fire to every session. You'll experience deep mindset work, nutrition advice that actually sticks and movement guidance that brings results.

Layth is the steady strength beside her... a powerhouse at 51 who continues to prove that it’s never too late to get strong, feel alive and push limits you never thought possible. He brings grounded energy, humour, quiet leadership and a deep belief in every client who steps into the gym.

Together?
They’re a team who believes in lifting people... not just barbells.
A team who knows that strength training is just the doorway… and confidence, courage, self-trust and emotional healing are what wait on the other side.

In the Gunn Team gym, no one gets left behind.
No one trains alone.
Every rep matters.
Every story matters.
Every person who walks through the door is met with expertise, encouragement and genuine care.

This is more than fitness.
This is transformation... body, mind and life.

Welcome to DG Fitness.
Welcome to the Gunn Team.
You’re home now. 💛

There’s a moment, right before the lift, where doubt whispers.
And then you rise anyway... proving the heaviest things in life are only impossible until the second you decide they’re not.

Yesterday, it was 140kg on the trap bar.
3 Years ago, it was simply walking up to the barbell with curiosity.
Before that, it was leaving a life that didn’t fit me anymore.
Before that, it was daring to believe I could become someone different.

Every “impossible” in my life has arrived the same way... quietly, inconveniently, always showing up when I wasn’t sure I had anything left to give.
And every single time, the gym has been the place where I learned how to rise anyway.

Strength training hasn’t just transformed my body… It has rebuilt every corner of my life.
My confidence.
My health.
My identity.
My purpose.
My marriage.
My ability to lead, to heal, to mother, to show up.

The barbell taught me discipline.
The reps taught me resilience.
And the weight taught me that progress isn’t loud or glamorous... it’s slow, gritty and shaped in all the moments no one else sees.

I never thought I’d be the woman who could pull 140kg off the ground.
But then again, I never thought I’d be the woman who lost 75 kilos…
who rebuilt her life from scratch…
who turned her pain into purpose…
who found her voice, her strength, her mission.

And now?
Lifting others is the weight I carry with the most pride.
No one gets left behind with me... not on my gym floor, not in my programs, not in my community.
If you train with me, if you trust me, if you show up even when you’re scared…
I will meet you where you are at and help you rise into who you’re meant to be.

Because this isn’t just about lifting weights.
It’s about lifting others.
Lifting spirits.
Lifting lives.
Lifting the “impossible” off people’s shoulders so they can finally breathe again.

I’m living proof that the impossible isn’t a wall... it’s a doorway.
And once you walk through it, the impossible becomes the possible.

If you’re standing on the edge of your own impossible, thinking, “I don’t know if I can…” borrow my belief in you until your own kicks back in.

You rise.
We rise.
Together.

Did you know I am a registered AUSactive Accredited Professional?
This means my qualifications, experience and coaching standards have met the industry endorsed accreditation framework for health and fitness professionals in Australia.

The best part?
If you have private health insurance, you may now be able to claim a portion of your training costs with me. Every fund is different, so it’s best to check your individual cover.

I’m incredibly proud of this accreditation. It reflects the heart, professionalism and dedication I pour into every client and session. I am also committed to continually leveling up my knowledge and skills.

Stronger clients.
Better support.
More value.
And now… potential rebates too!

If you have questions or want to check whether your health fund covers personal training, send me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Meet Donna Gunn

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.
