Tayla Kneller

Coach

Tell us about yourself!

Growing up, Tayla was always involved in unique sports (e.g., martial arts). So, after moving from the country to the big smoke, she took up the most unusual sport she could think of…

Olympic weightlifting. Tayla is known to love a good challenge, so after three years of Olympic weightlifting she decided to have a go at something she has never thought of doing, CrossFit.

Starting CrossFit in 2019 at Fibre Active, Tayla has been hooked and competed in her first individual (intermediate) competition in January 2021 coming in 6th out of 27. You will find her most days at the box training in classes or doing a solo session.

What do you enjoy most about coaching?

Tayla is passionate about continuous learning and helping those around her reach their fitness goals through education and of course having fun. 

What type of workouts do you enjoy?

My favourite workouts are any with a barbell. I love long workouts with multiple movements – you never get bored or too fatigued on the one movement!

Least favourite movement?

Gymnastics in general is most definitely my downfall. I still haven’t mastered handstand walking and muscle ups just yet so they can be my least favourite for the time being!

Qualifications?

  • CrossFit Level 1
  • Senior First Aid and CPR

Stephen Cass

Coach

Having started in CrossFit back in January 2014, Stephen kept fit playing Australian rules football, before family and kids took priority. Having discovered functional fitness training, Stephen revived his enjoyment for fitness and enjoys the support and camaraderie that comes with it.

What do you enjoy most about coaching?

Having taken up the opportunity to become a coach in 2017, I get as much enjoyment in seeing the progress and success that members are able to achieve, and in such a short period of time. I initially took on the challenge as I wanted to do try something out of my comfort zone. I am very grateful for the opportunity and love the challenge of trying to better each class.

What type of workouts do you enjoy?

Workouts that involve Olympic lifting are always enjoyable. Throw in some wall balls, box jumps and rowing, and I am there!

Least favourite movement?

Technical gymnastics movements like bar muscle ups, toes to bar and hand stand push ups. All weaknesses I am working on! I am also not a fan of kettlebells either. Anything to do with them.

Qualifications:

  • CrossFit Level 1 Certificate
  • Certificate 3 in Fitness
