Liam McWhinney

Five years back, Liam had a vision that there were many women being ignored and short-changed by the gym industry. He saw a gap in the market and knew he could help.

With passion fueled by a natural business accumen, and a wondering sense of purpose, Liam dove headfirst into the venture. Fast forward a few years and The Toning Ground has become a ray of hope for many local women who require extra support. Liam is now happily married to Co-Founder Chanel and recently became a father to his first child Indie!

Chanel McWhinney

Self-Confessed fitness addict Chanel has always had a passion and talent for excercise. In her early years she was labeled the high school ‘sporty-kid’, she loves to lift heavy weights, and show others how to do the same in the right way!

Before The Toning Ground, Chanel was a highly sought after but well feared personal trainer, with a reputation for putting clients through their paces. Chanel started the business with her partner, now husband and taught him everything there was to know about women’s fitness!
