Stacey Turner (Stace)

My desire to learn more about nutrition started at a very early age. I have always loved cooking and when I was little, I wanted to be a chef. Whilst I was growing up, my dad often got sick with his type 1 diabetes, which drove me to want to find out more about food as a medicine and how I could work to help people like my dad to get improved health from the food they chose to eat.

In the process of studying Nutrition at Sydney uni, I found that there was a need to deepen my knowledge and understanding of movement and training as well. I have always had a passion for movement, having been a ballerina from the age of 2, and so it made sense to me to have food and movement go hand in hand.
I achieved my cert 3 & 4 in fitness, got hired by a CrossFit gym and have spent the last 10 years working with all kinds of wonderful individuals to empower them to eat and move in a way that allows them to be the best version of themselves they can be. During that time, I have also come up against a number of health issues (coeliac disease, adrenal fatigue, gut health issues, MTHFR gene mutation, under active thyroid) that I have worked my way through and using The Chief Life philosophy, I have been able to still experience a full and happy life.

You can too and I can’t wait to work with you to help you experience your most optimum level of health and wellbeing.

I have a love for health and fitness, music and laughter as well as a deep passion to help people. I am driven by our community’s results and living up to The Chief Life standard keeps me accountable every day. I am a keen CrossFitter, having been fairly competitive for a few years now, and been within the health and fitness realm for the last 10 years.

Things have never come easy for me, so I’ve always had to work at it – whether it be nutrition or training, and so I feel that helps me to be a better coach and be able to connect with others better because I’ve experienced the struggles and come out the other side, better for it. I’m looking forward to having you join and tribe and being able to help you too.

RUDD RAYNS

My journey into the Health and fitness industry has been eventful and life changing. From a school age I was blessed with the opportunity to play representative level for tennis, squash, rugby and kick-boxing, which furthered my interest in becoming a better version of myself. Extensive travel and work, specifically in New York, London and now Sydney has exposed me to many different people and life lessons. My passion is to learn from and teach people the ‘Why/How Factors’ to get them to be the best versions of themselves.
