In this episode of The Evolv Podcast, we sit down with Claudia Berry, the powerhouse behind Shadow Fitness Club in South West Sydney.

At just 25, Claudia is already a gym owner, head boxing coach, and mentor to the next generation of fighters — but her journey started long before the doors of her gym ever opened.

With over a decade of experience in boxing, Claudia began competing in the amateur divisions from a young age. She’s not just a coach — she’s a fighter through and through. Now, her passion lies in coaching women through boxing, using the sport as a tool to build confidence, resilience, and real-world strength.

This episode dives into Claudia’s transition from athlete to entrepreneur, the mindset required to run a values-based gym, and the powerful role combat sports can play in empowering women.

She shares the unexpected moment that shifted her from being a gym member to owning one, why having the right business partner made all the difference, and what it really takes to build a gym with heart.

It’s a raw and honest conversation filled with purpose, self-development, and the kind of grit that defines true evolution — in life, in business, and in the ring.

In this episode we sat down with the Vice President of the Labor Party! It was very insightful. We feel like politics is being lost in the younger generation and conversations like these really bring these topics to life with the changing landscape on how we consume content.

Mich-Elle dived into a variety of topics, focusing on her efforts as the leader for the maritime union. She encourages everyone to have a crack in politics like she did!

We learnt a lot in this one and we hope you do too!

In this full-length episode, we sit down with Jordan—founder of Seib Chiropractic and a former NPL footballer turned health professional—to unpack the real, unfiltered story behind becoming a chiropractor and building a business.

Jordan’s journey began on the football field, where years of high-level competition, injury, and personal setbacks became the unlikely foundation for his future in healthcare.

After a stint playing college football in the US, a career in aeronautical engineering was on the cards—until a few pivotal life moments and a nudge from his mum shifted him into the world of sport science, and eventually chiropractic.

But this episode goes way deeper than a career pivot.We explore what it’s actually like to study chiropractic in Australia, the misperceptions surrounding the profession, and the fine line between good practitioners and pseudosciences.

Jordan opens up about the early struggles of running his own clinic, what makes a good chiropractor, and how he navigates the pressure of diagnosis in a space that’s often questioned by both the public and other healthcare professionals.

Jordan’s story is a perfect example of what it means to adapt, go all in, and evolve—personally and professionally.

George GMAX is a coach who’s built his brand on honesty, simplicity, and results. His journey started at university, where he developed the foundational knowledge that now underpins his coaching philosophy. While many followed the traditional PT path, George had bigger plans – combining his academic background with a strong social media presence to reach people far beyond the gym floor.

What started as posting helpful tips and advice online quickly grew into something much bigger. George’s relatable delivery, straight-talking content, and genuine care for his audience helped him cut through the noise in the crowded fitness space.

Now, he’s built a thriving online coaching business that continues to grow – not through gimmicks, but by delivering real value and keeping it authentic. He’s helped hundreds transform their mindset and bodies by focusing on consistency, education, and habits that actually stick.

In this episode, we unpack how George scaled his business, stayed true to his values, and why he believes the best coaches are the ones who care the most. Big takeaway from us was the definition of a coach and how it differs to a 'personal trainer'.
