Hi! I'm Tanya Delzotto, owner and operator of Delzo Active; a fitness business based in Newcastle, Australia. After many years working at a desk in the graphic design/advertising world and feeling the effects on my body, I decided to make a career change into the fitness world. My passion lies in getting as many people as I can to move their body in a safe and supported way. I'm here to show you how much fun you can have with exercise, it's simply about finding your fitness tribe to cheer you on. 

My passion for travel, health, wellness, fitness and generally looking after myself has always been at the forefront. I hope to inspire and motivate others to get out there and make the most of their amazing body and the beautiful outdoors we are blessed to have right at our doorstep. This was the motivation behind Delzo Active Escapes, fitness and wellbeing weekends held close to Sydney and Newcastle. A chance to escape the busyness of your life and step into a weekend where you can move your body, connect with like minded souls, enjoy delicious home cooked food and relax.

Back in 2010, after working at a desk doing graphic design for over 10 years and feeling the effects on my body from sitting at a desk all day, but also no longer feeling rewarded by my job, I knew I needed to make a change in my career. After seeking guidance from a career councillor and looking at my personality type, it kept coming back to the personal care industry. Taking a step into a new career in your mid 30's is not an easy transition, so it has been a slow and often stressful journey, but also an amazing and rewarding process to where I am today. I am now working in an area I am meant to be in and I love it!

It's all about balance and creating the life you want to live. My passion for helping others, staying fit and healthy, creating a sense of community and travelling to new exciting places, means I can bring this to all facets of my business through small group training and fitness and wellbeing weekends

I have had my fair share of injuries and challenges in the past that has limited my movement and exercise regime, but not once have I stopped! It’s all about getting over that mental hurdle and finding something you love and that keeps you motivated. I am all about having fun while you exercise, life is already too serious! We can always adapt exercises to our body and/or limitations, so never let that hold you back either. And find something that you love to do, for me that is pilates, general strength/conditioning training, boxing, yoga and exploring the city by bike.
