SOPHIE O’DRISCOLL

Hi! I’m Sophie O’Driscoll, a personal trainer here at Olympic Gym.

My journey into fitness started with my own transformation. At 21 years old I weighed 142.5kg and struggled with disordered eating and years of yo-yo dieting. Over the last six years I have completely changed my relationship with health, training, and myself, which ultimately led me to become a qualified personal trainer.

I first fell in love with fitness through group training where I discovered the power of community, accountability, and pushing yourself alongside others who share the same goals. That environment changed my life and sparked a passion for helping others experience the same transformation.

Alongside my fitness journey I also became sober and am now four years sober heading into 2026. That experience has taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of showing up for yourself every day.

Now as a personal trainer I focus on helping people build strength, confidence, and consistency. I believe having someone in your corner who supports you, holds you accountable, and celebrates your wins makes all the difference.

After spending seven years in Auckland I have recently moved back to Dunedin and am excited to be part of the Olympic Gym community. If you are ready to invest in yourself and take your training to the next level, I would love to help you get there.
