Every person here
is both a trainer
and a support worker.

Micah built Circle Square from the ground up — and still shows up to the floor every day to run it. His background spans functional fitness, CrossFit coaching and disability support, which means he understands both how the body moves and what it takes to make someone feel genuinely safe doing it.

Level 1 CrossFit Coach. Registered Disability Worker. Currently completing his Certificate IV in Disability — not because it's required, but because he's still learning.

Jono came to Circle Square through fitness — and that's still the lens everything runs through for him. He holds a Certificate IV in Personal Training and lives on the floor — programming, coaching, adapting on the fly. He knows how to take a goal, break it into something real, and build a session around what the person in front of him actually needs that day.

Participants don't feel pushed — they feel coached. There's a difference, and Jono gets it.

Shane co-founded Circle Square with a background most people in the sector simply don't have — law enforcement, education, community coaching across AFL and basketball, and an Advanced Diploma in Human Resources. That breadth means he reads situations quickly and connects easily with people who've had complicated experiences in support settings before.

Certificate IV in Mental Health. Works across Ballarat and Geelong. The experience is wide. The focus is simple.

Hollie holds a Certificate IV in Personal Training and is also a qualified hairdresser — two very different backgrounds that point to the same thing: she's a people person, and people know it the moment they meet her. Her style is warm and unhurried. Participants feel at ease not because the work isn't challenging, but because Hollie makes the environment feel safe enough to try.

She came to Circle Square to combine her love of health and fitness with something that actually meant something. That's exactly what she found.

Alex brings one of the strongest academic foundations on the Circle Square floor — a Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science backed by hands-on experience in both one-on-one and community-based support. Sessions are structured and evidence-informed, but never rigid. He understands how the body moves, and how to read when someone needs more time before they're pushed further.

Currently completing his Certificate IV in Mental Health. The degree gave him the science. The floor is giving him everything else.

Lukas came to Circle Square through a genuine love of fitness and a natural ability to bring people along with him. He reads a room well, knows when to push and when to pull back, and has a way of making the challenge feel like something worth showing up for. Participants build confidence in sessions with Lukas not because it's easy, but because he makes it feel possible.

Currently completing his Certificate III in Fitness and Certificate IV in Mental Health. Early in his career and already exactly the kind of person Circle Square is built around.
