Originally from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Sally has grown up and kept active amongst the ocean, sun and sand, and to this day she will always be a fresh air, warm weather and water enthusiast. A move further up north in 2021 made complete sense, allowing Sally to utilise her knowledge as an exercise physiologist, launching her health career and enjoying the NT great outdoors. ​
​
Working as both an Exercise Physiologist and Aqua Fitness instructor Sally knew that Darwin’s tropical climate was ideal for the exploration of water based exercise. Sally believes that no matter what age or fitness level we are at, to get the most out of life, everyone deserves to be emersed, enabled and empowered. Committed to this idea, Emerse was launched to provide the local community with innovative, fun, and beneficial water based exercise suitable for all ages and abilities.
​
Sally is committed to providing genuine and high quality care, and thrives on seeing others achieve their health and fitness goals.

Water Cycling Instructor
Debbie Pennell
Aqua Fitness Instructor
Hi, my name is Debbie. I’m 53, a proud mum of four and grandmother of seven. My love for fitness started with aqua classes as a participant, which quickly grew into a passion for becoming an instructor. I absolutely love the community and helping people feel stronger, more confident, and connected. Aqua cycling has been an exciting next step for me. I really enjoy the added challenge it brings, along with the energy and variety it offers in every class. It’s a great way to build strength and fitness in a low-impact environment, and I love seeing participants push themselves and have fun at the same time. I’m currently studying my Certificate III in Fitness, with a focus on continuing to support and work with the over-50s community. I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and helping others on their fitness journey.
