Originally from South Africa, but moved to Brisbane, Australia when I was five years old. I later moved to Canberra (between Sydney and Melbourne) and started working in sport and fitness when I was 14. From there I have been fortunate enough to meet and work with some amazingly talented people within the fitness industry. I started working for Anytime Fitness in 2014 as a personal trainer, and by early 2016 I was managing 2 clubs, plus a team of trainers. In 2017 my scope grew to 5 clubs, and my passion for developing high quality Anytime Fitness clubs became my primary focus, but I still love training people and working with them to become the best version of themselves!

Chris Autry

Manager

Hey, I'm Chris and I can proudly say fitness has literally changed my life!!! At one point in my life I hated the person that stared back at me in the mirror. After struggling with a life long battle with drug addiction, I was left with little self-esteem, zero sense of self worth, and no hope. I knew there had to be more to life. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I starting coming to this very Anytime Fitness. Slowly, one day at a time, fitness has changed my life. Now, I have made it my life’s mission to give hope to and inspire others to change their life through fitness. Not only has God used my past to shed light on my future, but also has allowed me to openly share it to give hope to others. I’m a firm believer of when the pain of remaining the same, outweighs the pain of change, you’ll finally decide to change your life. #hrdwrk pays off every single time!

Hey there, I’m Abby! I'm one of the friendly voices you hear when you call our club. I'm a full time student at the University of North Georgia, working toward a degree in Biology. During my own fitness journey, I grew passionate about health and fitness. I love being able to surround myself with others who share the same passion. This is one of the many reasons I enjoy my job at Anytime Fitness!

Dennis Cormier

Trainer

Hi, I'm Dennis! I am a Certified Personal Trainer, a Certified SPINNING Instructor, as well as a Black Belt Martial Arts Instructor! I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, a Masters Degree in Education-Behavior as well as a Specialist Degree in School Administration. After 35 years in Education I am now retired (kind of). It seems like everything I have a passion for I want to go to the instructor level so I can have others enjoy it with me. I love seeing their faces when they can succeed at something they thought they could not achieve. From SCUBA to personal training I enjoy helping others reach their dreams while watching them surprise themselves on what they can accomplish. I set those goals for myself and push those around me to do the same. You have to have passions in your life to bring out your inner joy so that when you first wake in the morning that smile just comes over you, your heart sings and you give thanks for just "being".
