Out and about: The health and fitness habits our team swears by

Health looks different for everyone. For some, it’s lifting heavy. For others, it’s walking the dog, hitting the beach or sweating it out before sunrise. But one thing’s clear – at Gary Peer, movement matters. So we asked around: What’s your go-to health or wellness routine? And here’s what some of our team members said.

Grace Horsey builds balance through Pilates

Executive Assistant to Gary Peer, Grace Horsey, turns up the heat with a mix of hot mat and reformer Pilates. This combination keeps her body challenged and her energy high – giving her a full-body workout that strengthens and stretches her muscles while clearing her mind.

It’s a regular routine that helps her stay mentally sharp in a fast-paced role, and has proven a great way to keep stress at bay.

For Grace, Pilates is less about trying to tick a fitness box – and more about feeling good, inside and out.

 

 

Anthony Lee finds peace on his doorstep

As Branch Manager of the Property Management Division, Anthony Lee spends his days solving problems. So when it’s time to recharge, he keeps things simple: a walk around Albert Park Lake or the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Living right between the two, he switches it up depending on the day – always enjoying the fresh air, green surrounds and space to think.

These daily walks give him structure and perspective, reminding him to pause before things get busy again.

 

 

Joel Ser gets ahead of the day before it begins

Partner and Licensed Estate Agent Joel Ser doesn’t wait for motivation to strike – he’s already up at 5.30 am and training at BFT. And these early morning fitness sessions are a non-negotiable part of his day.

At home, Joel’s also built a full recovery setup – complete with sauna and ice bath – to reset his body and maintain consistent energy levels.

With a full household and a big role at work, this solo time helps him stay focused and ready to lead.

 

 

Toby Sher keeps it social – and sweaty

Between coordinating sales support and the iconic Gary Peer coffee van, Toby Sher stays seriously active.

He walks daily while listening to music or a podcast, kickboxes three times a week at Octant Fitness and plays pickleball weekly with friends at PicklePlay in Bentleigh East. Each activity gives him something different: time to reflect, space to release energy and moments to connect with others.

Because for Toby, health is physical, mental and social.

 

 

Yvette Lipovetsky uses running to reset

Marketing Assistant Yvette Lipovetsky keeps things moving with interval runs around Caulfield Park.

It’s her way of clearing her head and getting some fresh air. The mix of walking and running gives her a good boost – physically and mentally – and helps her reset when life gets hectic.

She’s not always about smashing records (although, sometimes, she is!). Most of the time, Yvette just runs to run.

Bernard Mel walks with purpose (and Penny)

Sales Consultant Bernard Mel starts his mornings with a loop around Caulfield Park – but he’s not alone.

His dog, Penny, is a daily walking partner and conversation starter.

What began as a simple stroll has turned into a social ritual, as Bernard joined a local group of regular walkers. It’s a calm, grounded way to begin each morning – rain, hail or shine.

Leor Samuel makes movement part of the workday

As a Director, Leor Samuel juggles big responsibilities. His secret to staying sharp? A daily walk through Caulfield Park.

Clocking up over 10,000 steps a day, Leor turns this into a multitasking moment – catching up on podcasts, checking in with clients and taking calls along the way.

It’s simple, sustainable and effective. Movement is built into his day, not squeezed around it – which is exactly why it works.

 

 

Zanthea Zanas lifts for more than just strength

Property Manager Zanthea Zanas commits to lifting weights three to four times a week – a habit that fuels her both physically and mentally.

These sessions give her structure and discipline, helping her feel capable and confident well beyond the gym floor.

Whether it’s the satisfaction of hitting a new personal best or the headspace that comes with routine, weight-lifting has become an essential part of her week – and key to staying strong under pressure.

 

 

David Thomson blends fitness, music and mateship

Licensed Estate Agent and Auctioneer David Thomson takes a well-rounded approach to wellness.

He swims at the Danny Frawley Centre, walks his cavoodle Arlo along Sandringham Beach, fits in home workouts to support his knees post-surgery – and even plays live music with his band on the weekends.

Whether it’s an exercise of creativity, solo time or social catch-ups, David finds ways to bring movement and community into his everyday life.

 

 

Jeremy Rosens thrives on challenge and consistency

For Director Jeremy Rosens, discipline is everything.

Most mornings start with weight training – often at Snap Fitness or a CrossFit gym – followed by a three to five-minute plunge in an ice bath at just a few degrees.

These tough routines are all part of his mental and physical reset. By training his body to push through discomfort, he sets the tone for the rest of the day. It’s a system that fuels his energy and keeps him sharp.

 

 

Jessica Filipovic resets with routine and a four-legged friend

Sales Associate Jessica Filipovic weaves wellness into her week with Pilates and daily dog walks.

She trains at Love Athletica, a studio that adds some structure and strength to her week – especially after a long day at her desk.

Outside the studio, walking her dog gives her a chance to unwind and get some fresh air. It’s a simple mix that helps her reset, recharge and keep her energy up throughout the week.

 

 

Idan Gutman leads with discipline

Sales Consultant Idan Gutman sets the tone early – with calisthenics every morning and weight training every second night.

When he’s not training at home, he’s lifting at Hustle Fitness in Balaclava. His goal is to hit the hardest task of the day first – because when you start strong, everything else feels more manageable.

His consistency keeps him motivated and gives him an edge in both energy and mindset.

 

 

Nikki Janover moves to stay mobile – and focused

Partner Nikki Janover keeps movement as a steady part of her week.

Between Pilates at KX, yoga with friends and regular walks, she’s found a rhythm that helps her stay active and unwind.

Of course, she’d like to hit big fitness goals. But what she really wants is to stay mobile and keep stress in check.
