Brooke and Jane would jump onto social media and send messages of love and support to their tribe whilst chronicling their own COVID lockdown journey. This chat swiftly spirals into crushing over a certain A-List celebrity, guilty pleasures and Karate side-kicks in dark alleyways.

Meet Brooke Archibald and Jane Gallard, two very different people united by one purpose. Brooke and Jane are the dynamic duo behind the One55 Health & Fitness Centre.

During Sydney covid lockdown 2021 when other fitness centres went online with their classes, One55 went in a different direction. Brooke and Jane would jump onto social media and send messages of love and support to their tribe whilst chronicling their own COVID lockdown journey. So I was eager to speak with them about what it was like to for them during this time and how they got through it.

They chat about their internal dialogues and how they both coped through the lockdown. Jane and Brooke share their personal experiences of a Mum and the network of support needed to show your best self to the world.

They touch on the dangers of social media and self-proclaimed fitness “experts” and how Brooke and Jane’s message to their tribe is focused on wellbeing and mental well-being rather than on physical looks. The chat spirals quickly into crushing over a certain A-List celebrity, guilty pleasures and Karate side-kicks in dark alleyways.
