About Lift & Laugh Fitness
“You should call it Lift and Laugh...”
That’s what one of my first clients said mid-session — tears streaming down her face, not from pain, but from laughing so hard.
That moment stuck.
Because that’s what this gym was built on:
Strength, support, and smartassery.
Not intimidation, mirrors, or miserable 6am burpees.
I created Lift and Laugh for the people who feel like fitness isn’t for them.
The people who feel too unfit, too anxious, too unsure.
The ones who’ve tried it all, blamed themselves, and felt like nothing stuck.

Founder. Coach. Ex-cardio-zombie.
Meet Ger
Once upon a time, I weighed 150kg.
I hated what I saw in the mirror.
I tried every extreme—quick fixes, crash diets.
Spoiler: none of it worked. It only made things worse. Leading to binge eating, bulimia and mental health issues. So I built what I wish I had back then.
A no-bullshit space built on laughter, strength, real progress, and actual support.This isn’t some sterile gym with fake hype.
Whether you train with me online or in-person, you’ll get expert coaching—and enough laughs to power through the day.From youth rugby to women’s rugby coaching in the US…
From holding toddlers during house calls to repping clients on public gym floors…
I’ve worked with all kinds of people.More importantly?
I’ve lived through the stuff that’s holding you back.
And I know how to get you through it—stronger, happier, and maybe even snorting from laughing too hard.

Who we help
95% of clients are women between 20’s - 60’s who never……But we got space for the boyos too.
They’ve been stuck in toxic cycles.
They’ve blamed themselves.
They’ve told themselves, “I’ll start when I’m fitter.”
Until they find us — and finally realise they don’t need to fix themselves to
start.
They just need the right coach, a safe space, and someone who won’t let them quit.
