PERSONAL TRAINING MACKAY!
Results Personal Training Mackay (RPTM) has been in Mackay since 2009, expanding our studio presence into Walkerston in 2023.
Our vision is to help you make a positive change in your everyday life. To be able to help you to create healthy and sustainable habits around all things health and fitness to continue serving you for years and years to come.
Our primary mission is to get women moving more. To show the incredible benefits of moment not just physically but mentally as well.
You don’t need to be the fittest, the fastest or strongest, you just need to move. We have created a safe space, a community where people from all walks of life could come together in a judgement free space where they were free to just be themselves.
We can all have different goals, but we can still work on them together.
We provide Mackay, Walkerston and the surrounding areas with Group Fitness Classes, Small Group Personal Training (SGPT), and 1-on-1 Personal Training.
The team at RPTM are committed to giving you as many options as we can to make your lifestyle a fit and healthy one. We have classes and appointments at a variety of times throughout the day to fit in with everyone’s busy life.
No matter what your goal, let RPTM help you reach them.

LINDA RANKIN
Owner
Linda has been part of RPTM from almost the very beginning, joining the business in 2012 before taking the leap and purchasing it in August 2014.
Since then, RPTM has continued to grow and evolve alongside Linda’s vision of creating something much bigger than simply a place to exercise. In 2016, she opened RPTM’s first dedicated studio in Glenella, Mackay, followed by the opening of the Walkerston studio in 2023.
At the heart of it all has always been one thing — helping women become stronger, healthier and more confident versions of themselves.
For Linda, exercise is often just the starting point.
She loves helping women rediscover themselves, particularly those who have spent years putting everyone and everything else ahead of their own needs. Training gives women an opportunity to start doing something for themselves again — and from there, so much can change.
It’s about moving better and becoming physically stronger, but it’s also about building confidence, changing the way you think, challenging the limits you’ve placed on yourself and realising just how capable you actually are.
Linda believes strongly that every woman walking through the doors of RPTM comes with her own story, goals, abilities and challenges. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to coaching.
She won’t expect you to do something you genuinely can’t do — but she will challenge you to discover what you can do. And very often, that is far more than you believed you were capable of.
More Than Physical Strength
Linda’s own training journey has played a huge role in shaping the coach and business owner she is today.
As a competitive Figure Athlete for 10 years, including placing in the top three at her final two national competitions, she understands firsthand the discipline, consistency and mindset required to work towards challenging goals.
But her years in the fitness industry have also taught her that achieving results isn’t simply about training harder.
Mindset, behaviours, habits, self-belief and the way we speak to ourselves all matter.
This is why Linda’s approach to coaching goes beyond sets, reps and what happens inside the gym. She wants women to develop the tools, knowledge and confidence they can take into every area of their lives.
Nothing motivates Linda more than watching someone begin to change their life — seeing a woman who once doubted herself become stronger, more confident and willing to back herself.
“Seeing someone realise what they are capable of pushes me to keep learning, growing and being the best coach I can be.”
After more than a decade of owning RPTM, Linda’s vision continues to be the same: to create a place where women feel supported, welcomed and challenged to become better — without judgement or expectation that they need to already be fit or confident before they begin.
Health and fitness is not a destination. It is an ongoing journey.
We’ll help you set goals, celebrate with you when you achieve them — and then help you discover what might be possible next.

Lynda Caban
Qualifications
Cert3 & Cert4 in Fitness
Thump Boxing Level 1 & Advanced
Swim Teacher Accreditation
ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning
CPR + First Aid
Lynda’s own fitness journey began as a way to rediscover herself and become the version of herself she wanted to be. What started as simply doing something for herself quickly grew into a genuine love of training, movement and everything that exercise added to her life.
That passion eventually led Lynda to complete her Certificate III and Certificate IV in Fitness and begin coaching group fitness in 2022. She joined the RPTM team at our Walkerston studio in 2023 and has been bringing her energy, creativity and love of a good workout to our ladies ever since.
If you’ve trained with Lynda, you’ll know she is our session-planning Queen! She has a real talent for putting together sessions that will challenge you, make you work hard and somehow still have you enjoying yourself at the same time. Now that is a skill!
Lynda loves helping women challenge the limits they sometimes place on themselves. She will encourage you, motivate you and help you recognise just how capable you really are — whether that’s lifting a little heavier, pushing through a tough session or achieving something you once thought was out of reach.
Outside of strength training, running is another huge passion of Lynda’s. Her love of running has seen her take on half-marathon events and continue challenging herself with her own fitness goals. She knows firsthand how rewarding it can be to set yourself a goal, put in the work and discover what your body is capable of.
Lynda’s own journey is a great example of how powerful exercise can be for so much more than physical fitness. It can help you build confidence, reconnect with yourself and discover a stronger version of you along the way.
You’ll find Lynda primarily at our Walkerston studio, putting our ladies through their paces in Group Fitness as well as coaching Personal Training and Small Group Personal Training.
KIRRA WANDREY
Qualifications
Cert3 & 4 in Fitness
CPR + First Aid
Kirra joined the RPTM team in 2025, coaching across both our Mackay and Walkerston studios in Group Fitness and Small Group Personal Training.
Kirra completed her Certificate IV in Fitness in 2020, with a vision of building a career that would allow her to follow her passion for health and fitness while also having flexibility when she started her own family.
Fast forward to 2025, Kirra is now a mum to a one-year-old and has stepped into her coaching journey with RPTM, bringing plenty of energy, enthusiasm and a genuine love of helping women feel stronger and more confident.
Fitness has always been a big part of Kirra’s life and she loves the variety of it all — from running and bike riding to hiking and lifting weights. That love of movement carries through into her coaching, where she enjoys encouraging our ladies to challenge themselves, celebrate their progress and discover what their bodies are capable of.
Kirra has a warm and approachable coaching style and genuinely loves sharing her passion for fitness while helping others work towards their own individual goals.
Outside of the gym, you’ll usually find Kirra outdoors with her family, camping, heading to the beach and enjoying an active lifestyle together.
We love having Kirra as part of the RPTM team and can’t wait to continue watching her grow in her coaching career.

She has a genuine love of helping people and takes pride in making sure our ladies feel comfortable and confident in their training. Charlotte has a great eye for technique and will always be there to make sure you’re performing your exercises correctly, safely and getting the most out of every session.
