Discover local wellbeing, community spirit and transformational training in the creative heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
If you’re looking to improve your health and wellbeing in a way that’s empowering, community-driven and deeply personal, look no further than Wildfire Fitness in Eumundi.
This much loved and recently relocated local fitness hub is more than just a gym – it’s a place where transformation happens, connections are made, and passion for movement is ignited. And what’s more, it’s the brain child of a Eumundi local, who was brought up and attended school in Eumundi and absolutely adores the place!
A Local Business with Heart
Founded by a passionate Eumundi local, Wildfire Fitness offers a unique blend of group classes, personal training, wellness coaching and mindset work – all designed to support your fitness journey inside and out.
Owner and founder, Angela van Toorn, started the business after recognising a gap in the local health and fitness scene – a need for a space that prioritised real people, real results, and a genuine sense of community. With a mission to create a welcoming, supportive environment for people of all backgrounds and fitness levels, Wildfire Fitness was born.
“I’ve always been passionate about helping others become the strongest, happiest version of themselves,” Angela shares.
“I actually grew up and went to primary school in Eumundi. Eumundi has such a strong community spirit, and I wanted to create something that felt aligned with that.”
Why Eumundi?
As a proud local, Angela has been operating in the Eumundi community for several years.
With a love for the natural beauty of the hinterland, the friendly faces, and the vibrant village energy, Angela couldn’t imagine setting up shop anywhere else.
What Sets Wildfire Fitness Apart?
Unlike traditional gyms that can feel intimidating or impersonal, Wildfire Fitness takes a holistic approach to health. Programs are personalised, group classes are inclusive, and the focus is always on building confidence as well as physical strength.
From pilates, yoga, strength training and functional fitness to recovery, to mobility, HIIT, wellness coaching and mindset work – there’s something for everyone, no matter your age or ability.
“We work with everyone from busy parents and professionals to retirees and teens. Our goal is to make fitness achievable, fun and sustainable for the long term.”
Stories of Transformation
Wildfire Fitness has witnessed incredible transformations – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
“We’ve had clients who started unsure, anxious and unfit – now they’re lifting weights, running events, and walking taller in every sense. Watching people grow into their confidence is the most rewarding part of what we do.”
The business is also deeply engaged with the local community – supporting local events, collaborating with other small businesses, and giving back wherever possible.
Celebrating Wins
Like many small businesses, Wildfire Fitness has weathered its fair share of challenges. But the support of the Eumundi community has made all the difference.
“Being part of a town that values connection and resilience has helped us not just survive, but thrive. We’re so grateful to be here.”
Recent wins include moving to new, expanded premises, including pilates, strength training and most importantly, a recovery centre with two new saunas (infra-red and traditional) and two cold plunge pools set at 9C and for those a little more game, 4C!
What’s Next?
Looking ahead, Wildfire Fitness has big plans. From new outdoor fitness events and workshops to tailored programs various ages, the goal is to continue making a positive impact on the Eumundi community and beyond.
Stay tuned for upcoming events, open days, and collaborations with local health and wellness professionals.
Final Thoughts
Wildfire Fitness is more than just a place to train – it’s a space where people grow, goals are met, and community thrives. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Eumundi, this hidden gem is worth discovering.
