Leigh’s calisthenics journey began at just 3 years old at her aunt's club, St James in Thornbury, and her passion for the sport has never waned. Over the years, Leigh has embraced many roles within calisthenics, both on and off the stage, but her most cherished role has been that of a mother to her daughter, Zoe.

ZOE FORMOSA
PRINCIPAL COACH
Zoe began her calisthenics journey at just 4 years old, and from that moment, the sport became a central part of her life. The love and passion instilled in her at such a young age have fueled her commitment to calisthenics, driving her through every challenge and triumph in her career. Zoe is deeply passionate about not only developing talented performers but also nurturing and guiding young students to discover their own love for the sport.
The idea for Florincey Calisthenics Club was born a decade ago when Zoe and her calisthenics friends envisioned a club that would break new ground in the sport. After years of hard work both on and off the stage, Zoe is proud to have created a platform where she can continue her journey and leave a lasting legacy in the world of calisthenics. Her dedication to fostering talent and passion in others is at the heart of Florincey, and she remains committed to inspiring the next generation of calisthenics enthusiasts.
