The Functional Fitness Centre was created in August 2018 when owner Sarah McConville realised that there was something missing on the Sunshine Coast. Women were wanting to train, get healthy, improve their confidence but found it so difficult to walk into a gym without feeling as if “all eyes” were on them. After searching across the coast for a venue, Sarah realised that it didn’t exist and decided that she was going to create it.

This was the birth of Bodies by Design!



Today, Bodies by Design is a centre impacting women greatly across the Sunshine Coast. Sarah and her team have a goal to help as many women as possible not only achieve their health and fitness goals but to change how women see and feel about themselves.
“We have a goal to impact the world, we need more spaces like Bodies by Design where women can come and feel safe and if these spaces do not exist, then I am going to create them” – Sarah

Emily’s ultimate goal for any of the women she works with is to help them feel strong, powerful, and confident in their bodies and abilities.

Emily has transformed her life through fitness, “When I started my fitness journey, I didn’t start to feel happy with my progress until I shifted my focus to weight training and nutrition.
