The path is the point.
Not the finish line. Not the “after photo.”
Not the version of you you’re trying so hard to rush toward.

It’s the tiny choices you make today.
The moments you show up when you don’t feel ready.
The way you decide again and again to honour your body, your energy and your life.

Slow down.
Breathe.
Be here for it.

Because when you stop sprinting toward the “end result,” you finally realise…
the transformation is happening in every step you're taking right now.

MEET THE GUNN TEAM

Strength. Strategy. Soul. (And a whole lot of heart.)

At DG Fitness, you don’t just get trainers... you get the team built on expertise, experience, resilience, deep love and living a life of purpose.

Donna is the heart-led force behind the DG brand... a Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and AUSactive Accredited Personal Trainer who rebuilt her life from the inside out, losing 75kg and keeping it off for five years.

She’s walked the path her clients are walking, and she brings honesty, compassion and fire to every session. You'll experience deep mindset work, nutrition advice that actually sticks and movement guidance that brings results.

Layth is the steady strength beside her... a powerhouse at 51 who continues to prove that it’s never too late to get strong, feel alive and push limits you never thought possible. He brings grounded energy, humour, quiet leadership and a deep belief in every client who steps into the gym.

Together?
They’re a team who believes in lifting people... not just barbells.
A team who knows that strength training is just the doorway… and confidence, courage, self-trust and emotional healing are what wait on the other side.

In the Gunn Team gym, no one gets left behind.
No one trains alone.
Every rep matters.
Every story matters.
Every person who walks through the door is met with expertise, encouragement and genuine care.

This is more than fitness.
This is transformation... body, mind and life.

Welcome to DG Fitness.
Welcome to the Gunn Team.
You’re home now. 💛

There’s a moment, right before the lift, where doubt whispers.
And then you rise anyway... proving the heaviest things in life are only impossible until the second you decide they’re not.

Yesterday, it was 140kg on the trap bar.
3 Years ago, it was simply walking up to the barbell with curiosity.
Before that, it was leaving a life that didn’t fit me anymore.
Before that, it was daring to believe I could become someone different.

Every “impossible” in my life has arrived the same way... quietly, inconveniently, always showing up when I wasn’t sure I had anything left to give.
And every single time, the gym has been the place where I learned how to rise anyway.

Strength training hasn’t just transformed my body… It has rebuilt every corner of my life.
My confidence.
My health.
My identity.
My purpose.
My marriage.
My ability to lead, to heal, to mother, to show up.

The barbell taught me discipline.
The reps taught me resilience.
And the weight taught me that progress isn’t loud or glamorous... it’s slow, gritty and shaped in all the moments no one else sees.

I never thought I’d be the woman who could pull 140kg off the ground.
But then again, I never thought I’d be the woman who lost 75 kilos…
who rebuilt her life from scratch…
who turned her pain into purpose…
who found her voice, her strength, her mission.

And now?
Lifting others is the weight I carry with the most pride.
No one gets left behind with me... not on my gym floor, not in my programs, not in my community.
If you train with me, if you trust me, if you show up even when you’re scared…
I will meet you where you are at and help you rise into who you’re meant to be.

Because this isn’t just about lifting weights.
It’s about lifting others.
Lifting spirits.
Lifting lives.
Lifting the “impossible” off people’s shoulders so they can finally breathe again.

I’m living proof that the impossible isn’t a wall... it’s a doorway.
And once you walk through it, the impossible becomes the possible.

If you’re standing on the edge of your own impossible, thinking, “I don’t know if I can…” borrow my belief in you until your own kicks back in.

You rise.
We rise.
Together.

Did you know I am a registered AUSactive Accredited Professional?
This means my qualifications, experience and coaching standards have met the industry endorsed accreditation framework for health and fitness professionals in Australia.

The best part?
If you have private health insurance, you may now be able to claim a portion of your training costs with me. Every fund is different, so it’s best to check your individual cover.

I’m incredibly proud of this accreditation. It reflects the heart, professionalism and dedication I pour into every client and session. I am also committed to continually leveling up my knowledge and skills.

Stronger clients.
Better support.
More value.
And now… potential rebates too!

If you have questions or want to check whether your health fund covers personal training, send me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Taking the new trap bar for a spin…and hit PB’s in the process.

Now we need to purchase more weight 😂

He tried to tell me he's "just an average 51-year-old" Today he benched 90kgs... more than his bodyweight.

Here's the truth. Most men in their 50's aren't lifting much at all. Globally, less than 25% do any strength training twice a week. And 3+ sessions? That drops into the tiny single digits.

Layth lifts 3 to 4 times per week, trains with intention and is getting stronger every year. He is proof that you don't lose strength with age, you lose it with inactivity. Layth is living evidence that consistency beats genetics, age and excuses.

And he is now coaching with me, bringing decades of discipline, heart and grit into every session.

If you are ready to feel strong again... this is your guy.

The pre-workout tantrum was elite.
The death stare? Absolutely Olympic level.
But the feeling afterwards… worth every bit of it.

Because that’s the truth… you don’t always want to start, but you’ll always be proud you did.

Just show up.

Do it for the version of you who walks out feeling stronger, lighter and unstoppable.

We rarely arrive at the gym empty.

We drag in all the things no one else sees... the mental load, the heartbreak, the fear, the pressure, the silent heaviness.

And the barbell becomes our reset…our exhale.
It is our reminder that strength lives in us even on the days we feel anything but strong.

If you needed this today, it was for you. May we meet at the barbell soon 💛

Today was a day I had the “energy”. The kind of delicious energy that comes with proper restful sleep, ideal nutrition, right time in my cycle and a workout partner keen to hit the gym. So I could hit the intensity and give the new 17.5kgs a run 😉

These workouts create the discipline I need to keep moving my body when it’s not easy, when my energy is low. Consistently showing up for myself… and my clients ❤️

Meet Donna Gunn

So you maybe wondering… Who is Donna Gunn?

I am a Wife, a Mum to 5 beautiful children and a registered Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner. I have lived through many painful life events from the su***de of my brother, losing my Dad to terminal illness and a separation with children. The courage required to rise above these life events combined with my qualification in RTT, and over 20 years in corporate leadership roles in the mining sector, culminated in Unleash the Warrior being born.

This tribe of warriors are dedicated to helping as many people as possible, live their best lives without it being a financial burden or taking years to achieve. I believes that everyone has an inner warrior, and the best version of themselves is just waiting to be unleashed.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) was founded by Marisa Peer. This powerful therapy is a hybrid of hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT and talk therapy. RTT’s technique is based on the scientific phenomenon of neuroplasticity, which helps my clients literally rewire their minds for incredible, rapid and permanent results.
