About Deb & Get Fit For Life

Get Fit For Life (GFFL) is an award winning fitness business dedicated to helping people build strength, confidence and capability through purposeful exercise and a supportive community environment.

Recognised at the prestigious 29th Annual Hunter Region Business Excellence Awards 2024, GFFL was named Winner of the Health Services Category after being selected as a Finalist in the New Start category. GFFL has continued to receive recognition as a Health Services Category Finalist in both 2025 and 2026.

Founded by Deborah, Get Fit For Life was created from a passion for helping people understand that age does not define what they are capable of achieving. With almost a decade of experience in the health and fitness industry, Deb combines professional knowledge, practical experience and a genuine understanding of the people she supports.

Deb is a Pilates Association Australia (PAA) Group Mat Instructor, an Older Adults Trainer, and a Cert III and Cert IV Fitness qualified and registered trainer. She is committed to lifelong learning and continually expands her expertise across Pilates, strength training, functional fitness, mobility, balance and exercise for older adults.

Through ongoing professional development, workshops and continued study, Deb ensures her programs remain safe, effective and aligned with current industry knowledge. Her broad training background allows her to design exercise experiences that are purposeful, progressive and adaptable, helping participants improve their strength, movement, confidence and overall wellbeing.

For Deb, professional development is not simply about collecting qualifications. It is about providing the highest standard of care. Every course, certification and learning opportunity strengthens her ability to support participants with safe, evidence informed exercise that meets them where they are and helps them progress.

At Get Fit For Life, exercise is about much more than completing a workout. It is about creating a space where people feel welcome, supported and encouraged to challenge themselves. Whether participants are improving balance, building strength, increasing mobility or rediscovering what they are capable of, Deb believes everyone deserves the opportunity to move well and feel confident in their body.

Mission & Vision

Deb’s mission is to disrupt how older adults view themselves and their abilities within the context of exercise, and to empower people to create lasting health and confidence.

Her vision is a world where self care and “paying it forward” for others are a regular part of life, where people feel valued, capable and inspired to continue moving, growing and contributing at every stage of life.
