Get strong now, and stay strong
for the next thirty years.

Off The Pine is a personal training service based in Deakin, Canberra, and this site is its digital front door. Rather than push you straight into a sales page, we ask a few quiet questions and then point you to the version of our coaching that actually fits your life, whether you're brand new to training, returning after time away, or trying to make fitness work around a busy career and family.

It's for people who want real coaching without the gym-bro noise. That includes beginners who feel uneasy walking into commercial gyms, professionals and parents whose calendars are already full, and anyone in their 40s, 50s and beyond who wants to stay strong, mobile and capable for the next thirty years. If you've ever bounced off a generic program or felt invisible on a busy gym floor, this is built with you in mind.

It's run by Shannon McKenzie, head coach at Off The Pine, who has spent years working with former athletes, busy parents, and complete beginners. We wrote every word, recorded every video, and designed every page on this site ourselves, so what you see here is the same voice you'll meet in person. No agencies, no scripts, no pressure. Just the full picture of how we coach and why.
