MEET CHRIS RONKE
Helping people move better, recover better and
live stronger.
Hi, I'm Chris, founder of 300 Holistic Fitness.
Health and fitness changed my life, and today my passion is helping everyday people experience that same transformation. Whether your goal is building strength, recovering from injury, improving your nutrition or simply feeling better every day, I'm here to help you create lasting results.
My approach is personalised, evidence-based and focused on long-term success—not quick fixes. I believe the best results come from building habits that fit your lifestyle—habits that continue working long after we've finished together.
How It All Started
The journey that shaped the way I coach today.
Like many people, I didn't have the easiest start in life. I grew up around addiction and instability. While those experiences were difficult, they taught me resilience and gave me a strong desire to create a different future for myself.
At 25, I made the life-changing decision to join the Australian Army. Getting accepted took discipline, commitment and a complete transformation in my fitness, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. During my time as a Radio Operator, I learned the value of discipline, consistency, teamwork and pushing through challenges—lessons that still shape the way I coach today.
After leaving the Army in 2015 and going through a divorce, I struggled. I lost direction, turned to alcohol and eventually found myself at around 95kg. It was one of the lowest points of my life, but it also became the turning point.
I realised that if I wanted my life to change,I had to change first.
Over the next seven months, I committed to rebuilding myself—physically and mentally. I trained every day, lost more than 25kg, and, more importantly, rediscovered confidence, purpose and direction.
That experience changed my life forever.
It taught me that lasting change isn't about perfection or quick fixes. It's about showing up consistently, building sustainable habits and taking one step forward every day.
Those lessons became the foundation of how I coach today.
Always Learning. Always Growing.
Every qualification has been driven by one goal to better support my clients.
Becoming a Personal Trainer was only the beginning. The more people I worked with, the more I realised lasting health is about much more than exercise alone
I wanted to understand why people struggle, how to build sustainable habits and what it truly takes to improve long-term health and performance.
That passion for learning led me to continue my education, completing qualifications in personal training, nutrition and remedial massage. Each step has allowed me to provide more complete support for my clients, whether they're looking to build strength, recover from injury, improve their nutrition or simply move and feel better.
Today, 300 Holistic Fitness reflects everything I've learned through both my own experiences and years of working with clients. My goal isn't just to help people achieve short-term results—it's to give them the knowledge, confidence and support to create lasting change.
