Partners in life and fitness

Fiona Frost is the co-owner of Frost Fitness, the mega gym at Warkworth. Fiona has a passion for helping people be the best that they can be. Her background is in teaching, mentoring and performance coaching.

Fiona’s journey into the small business world and the gym industry has been an interesting adventure, which she says would never have been possible if it weren’t for her husband, Danny Frost. Fiona believes having the right person beside you, who believes in you and pushes you to be the best version of you, is the key to success. “Danny and I both believe in each other and we are each other's biggest supporters.”

When Fiona moved to Warkworth from the North Shore three years ago, she knew that she wanted a change in direction with her career but was unsure of what the future would bring. Danny was already a shareholder of a gym, and when the opportunity presented itself she bought out his business partner and they decided to go into business together.

It was a huge decision at the time as the couple were newly engaged and had only recently bought a house together. “We actually hadn't known each other for that long! Everything that we’ve achieved has been done fast. We met and were engaged within three months, bought a house after six months and then went into business together within a year of meeting! We just love living life and getting things done. There is a lot of laughter amongst the hard work when we are together,” says Fiona.

Raising three kids, working full time, surviving lockdown and being newly married while taking on a business in a new town has had its ups and downs, but Fiona has blossomed as a business owner. She’s loving the process of developing their brand, helping people to succeed and achieve their dreams and goals.

Fiona understands the struggles some people face when entering a fitness centre for the first time, as she has struggled with her own health due to an autoimmune disease. “Life can be very tough, and if I can do something to help someone get through their day or to achieve a smile, then all the hard work and sleepless nights are worth it,” says Fiona.
