About Fit Average Jo
Real Fitness for Real People.
Fit Average Jo is a personal training business based in Mount Isa, North-West Queensland, committed to helping everyday people take charge of their health. Led by experienced trainer Nik Row, Fit Average Jo was founded with a simple mission: to make fitness accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable—no matter your starting point.
I specialise in working with real people—those juggling families, work, health conditions, confidence barriers, or just life. My approach is practical, supportive, and never intimidating. There’s no flashy Lycra or unrealistic expectations here—just honest coaching that meets you where you’re at and helps you move forward.
What I Offer
Whether you’re just beginning or getting back into it, I provide a range of tailored fitness services including:
- Personal Training (1:1 at the gym or mobile PT at your home)
- Bootcamps, Group Fitness and Fitness Boxing
- Online Fitness Programs and Challenges
Every session is designed around your goals, strengths, and lifestyle. I work with people of all ages, including women returning to exercise post-pregnancy, teens building confidence and form, veterans, older adults maintaining independence, and those managing chronic illness or disability.
Why Train With Me?
I bring more than just fitness credentials to the table. With a background in education, mental health, and behaviour change, I understand that fitness isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and mental too. I hold a Certificate III & IV in Fitness, a Bachelor of Teaching, a Master’s in Forensic Mental Health, and a Diploma in Management, and I’ve spent over a decade coaching people through both physical change and mindset transformation.
After surviving a heart attack at 37 and managing Lupus, I know firsthand how tough it can be to rebuild your health. That lived experience has shaped my approach: realistic, compassionate, and focused on long-term wellbeing.
Community-Driven, Client-Focused
Fit Average Jo is proudly local. I’ve been running bootcamps and community fitness sessions across Mount Isa for well over a decade, and I understand the unique needs of our region. My business continues to evolve in partnership with the community—whether that’s through free boxing sessions, teen athlete support, or group fitness at our local gym.
I believe fitness should be empowering, rewarding and even fun. I aim to grow a local fitness community where everyone feels welcome—no matter your age, ability, body type, or background.
Let’s Get Started
No matter your fitness level—beginner, intermediate, or seasoned gym-goer—I’ll work with you to create a training plan that fits your life and helps you progress safely and confidently. You can train with me in person, online, at home, or anywhere in between.
If you’re ready to make a real, lasting change with a trainer who genuinely gets it, I’d love to hear from you. Message me on 0408 260 014 to chat or book your first session.
Fitness is an investment in your future self and your future independence. Let’s get to work.
– Nik, Fit Average Jo
