Ange
Owner / Head Coach
Hi, I'm Ange, and I am the name and face behind ARC Fitness.
I’m a dedicated mother of four beautiful children, and have a strong enthusiasm for everything health and fitness. Before starting ARC, I was a full-time music teacher and musician. Aside from my kids, music and training are my happy spaces.
I moved to Australia from New Zealand just over ten years ago. I had never been to Darwin before but boarded the plane with four kids in tow, one suitcase each and my guitar, ready to take a punt on a random opportunity in the NT. As a family girl that hated leaving her family behind, the plan was to stay two years max before heading home. One house, one investment property, a change in career and a thriving business later... it’s safe to say the NT has become my home away from home.
I started ARC Fitness in 2019 by running a couple of small group fitness classes out of my garage at home. I quickly outgrew this space and relocated to the Raiders Rugby League Football Club in Rosebery which allowed me to increase my class capacity, but it wasn't long before I knew it was time to start looking for a space to call my own. In 2021 I opened the ARC Fitness HQ in Yarrawonga and now operate a timetable offering more than 30 class per week.
Here’s a few fun facts about me:
- I became a mum at the age of 17
- I have a fear of heights
- I don’t like coffee... yet I drink it every day
- I’ve also studied midwifery & interior design.
- I’m a country girl and was brought up on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand with my two older brothers and older sister
- I’m a wine lover! I also own a vineyard in Marlborough and spent many teenage years learning about viticulture and the wine industry.
So behind the ARC brand, please know that there is a very real person here wanting to welcome you and support you with your fitness journey.
