ABOUT INDUSTRIE 1 SPORT AEROBICS

Pip started dancing at the age of 7 in Melbourne, her training being mainly in jazz, tap and ballet. Her dancing continued when she moved to QLD and joined ‘The Young Australian Talent Company under principal Trevor Green. In 1994 she completed her gymnastics coaching qualifications and started coaching at the QLD State training centre. During university Pip coached many gymnastics teams as well as began coaching sport aerobics at Ormiston College. After finishing a Bachelor of Education in 2000 (specialising in Physical Education) Pip opened ‘Club PJS’ at Cleveland which after 10 years was renamed ‘Industrie 1,’ and relocated to a new studio space in Capalaba. Another 10 years on and Industrie 1 Sport Aerobics has grown bigger than ever. Pips current role as the Director of School Programs has enabled her to get back to her true passion, which is working at the grass roots levels in our schools.

In 1995 Penny participated in her first school sport aerobics team. Having been training in elite gymnastics at the Victorian Institute of Sport and then The Queensland High Performance Centre, Penny soon decided that sport aerobics was her thing! She has now been involved in sport aerobics for 25 years as an athlete and coach. As an athlete she competed in numerous national championships and in 2004 represented Australia at the FISAF World Championships. After retiring as an athlete in 2004, Penny continued to coach at a state, national and international level and since 2008 has travelled as a coach with the Australian team to the FISAF World Championships. As the Director of the Industrie 1 Sport Aerobics club programs, Penny loves working with athletes of all levels to help them achieve their goals. Penny’s experience and genuine passion for sport aerobics has made her arguably one of Australia’s top sport aerobics coaches across all streams.
