Ingrid Formosa is Snap Fitness’ newest employee, joining the team at Altona Gate in August this year. As a seasoned local and longtime Snap Fitness devotee, she’s no stranger to fitness enthusiasts.

Prior to joining the team, Ingrid was a Snap Fitness member for five years. Now, she gets a great amount of joy from calling the gym her workplace, while being close to home is an added bonus.

“The members always greet me with a smile or a fist bump!“ says Ingrid. “I love the gym and how close it is to my home. The convenience of having the centre upstairs is fantastic”.

Snap Fitness is a place for working out but also a meeting place to gather with friends and make new ones. It’s simple and convenient for locals to access the shopping centre after their workout, which makes getting through the day’s to-do list a breeze.

Ingrid knows how hard it can be to stay motivated and consistent, so she likes being a friendly face for members to rely on. “I enjoy seeing a familiar face or bumping into an old friend, and now I find myself forming new relationships,” she says.

The local community in Altona Gate has a strong sense of familiarity. Many have been visiting the centre for most of their lives just like Ingrid.

“I have lived in the western suburbs all my life and have been coming to the centre since I was five years of age,” she explains. When Ingrid isn’t sweating it up or motivating people at work, she’s tucking into Sushi Sushi, enjoying some Roll’d or ticking off her shopping essentials.
