OUR STORY
When Mike Morrisson opened the Coast Watcher Gym at Trinity Beach in 1985, Jane Fonda was the exercise Guru and Arnold Schwarzenegger dominated the pages of bodybuilding magazines.
Thankfully the gym game and Trinity Beach have come a long way since then! Gyms were a young scene in the 80s. Now we have an age spectrum that runs from kids in their teens... to kids in their 70+s.
Thousands have since called Coast Fitness “their gym”, including former Wallabies, AFL teams, and world champion triathletes. From the super fit to those just starting out, the culture at Coast Fitness embraces everybody in their unique fitness journey.
THE TEAM

Mike has been in the fitness game since 1985 and his depth and breadth of knowledge is as unique as his sense of humour.
Steve Morrisson -
Owner/ Manager
Strength and Conditioning Level 1 & 2 Sports Trainer Level 1 & 2 Olympic Weightlifting Level 1
Like a lot of Aussie kids playing sport (Rugby, Cricket, Martial Arts, Boxing, Weightlifting) was a big part of my life and fitness seemed to come easy until I reached my late twenties when I realised that the older I got the more I had to work at it.
This has influenced my outlook on developing our fitness centre as a facility that caters for all ages and all levels from the beginner to the dedicated athlete.
While our trainers do most of the hands on work with clients these days I still enjoy training and introducing clients to the possibilities and potentials that come from healthy lifestyles and functional fitness.
