With Megan Connolly
Double M Fitness
Radiating a unique blend of personalised wellness and community spirit, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Mackay’s fitness industry invites you into its safe, boutique space. Double M Fitness, under the guidance of its visionary Director Megan Connolly, isn't just a gym, it's a sanctuary for those seeking to embrace their vitality and rewrite their fitness journey with joy and purpose.
Megan is the driving force behind Double M Fitness and brings a wealth of passion and expertise to the business. With a background deeply rooted in sports, Megan undertook her own transformative personal journey post-motherhood, inspiring those around her.
“It was very organic for me to fall into this,” Megan shares. “I started coaching friends with the experience and knowledge I knew and what had worked for me. More people wanted in and, eight years later, here I am, doing what I love, helping people and being able to make a living of it.”
As interest in Megan’s services grew, she equipped herself with the necessary tools to coach people into how to live a more balanced and harmonious life. She is a certified Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Functional & Therapeutic Breathwork facilitator and boasts a bevy of other fitness certifications. The type of coaching Megan provides at Double M Fitness isn’t your typical type of coaching, which is why she calls herself a vitality coach.
At the core of Double M Fitness lies a commitment to holistic wellness, manifested through a diverse array of offerings tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual. ‘Sunrise Moves’ is a grounded movement experience that will leave you revitalised and ready to take on the day, offering whole body-encompassing group fitness sessions for vitality-obsessed humans who are choosing long term evolution over quick results. ‘Vivacious Women’, meanwhile, is dedicated to mums with young children who want to rebuild trust in their body post-partum. Lastly, ‘Ohana 1:1’ offers coaching for the woman seeking a customised roadmap to living as her most vibrant and athletic self. Each program is meticulously designed by Megan to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
“I love that I can help people not only with their physical being but also in a spiritual way,” Megan says. “I have a passion for holistic health, and I strive to help people achieve ‘overall wellness’ inside and out.”
What sets Double M Fitness apart is not just its innovative programs but also its nurturing environment. Megan's boutique approach fosters a sense of belonging, where clients feel safe, connected, and empowered to embark on their wellness journey. Whether it's the cosy studio spaces for Vivacious Women and OHANA coaching or the invigorating outdoor sessions of Sunrise Moves, Double M Fitness embodies a fusion of comfort and challenge, blending the best of both worlds.
In a world inundated with fitness fads and quick fixes, Megan invites you to step into a new world where wellness is not just a destination but a way of life, where every sunrise brings the promise of a new beginning, and every movement is infused with purpose.

Strip all the physical adaptions you want back and ask yourself, ‘Why do I want that?’ Generally, you will find more times than not it is happiness and balance or even confidence you are seeking, not the perfect body. Let’s work on that.
Most effective exercise/stretch you recommend to people?
Just find something you enjoy so it becomes a hobby, not a chore.
Your go-to mantra to keep you motivated?
Every step forward is still progress and every day you are making a difference. It’s not about perfect, it is about effort. Trust your journey.
