Who are you and when did you start training?
My name is Carly and I own Mass Nutrition Gold Coast, I was always active growing up (martial arts from the age of 6), but had no knowledge on nutrition and was always the 'big kid' and overweight by the time I was a teenager, I got into training & nutrition seriously around the age of 17.
What advice would you give to someone starting out in the gym?
Don't overcomplicate things. There is so much contradicting information out there, especially with social media (please check where/who you are getting advice from!).
But the basics will always win and get you further than anything else - Whole foods, water, movement/steps/strength training, human connection, sleep and recovery. Then you can start adding extras such as supplementing for deficiencies etc.
What's your gym playlist vibe?
Heavy metal, metalcore & hip hop/rap
What do you do outside of training?
Life is hectic, between running the store, studying full time, being a full time step mum, 3 x dogs and planning a 2026 wedding, we got a bit going on haha
