The Heart Behind Create
Real people. Real passion. Real progress.
Create Fitness Collective isn’t just a gym—it’s a space built with purpose. A space where movement meets meaning. Born from a desire to shift the conversation around fitness, Create was founded on a simple but powerful idea: that everyone deserves to feel strong, supported, and connected.
We’ve created more than a facility—we’ve created a community. Here, you’ll find coaching, a judgment-free zone, and an environment where your journey is respected, no matter where you're starting.
Founded by trainer and wellness advocate Donna Key, Create was built from the ground up with intention. Create brings a new kind of energy to Yandina.
Create is built on this ethos: holistic, experience and empowerment.
Led by Experience. Fuelled by Passion.
At the heart of Create is Donna Key—coach, mentor, and passionate advocate for holistic wellbeing. With over a decade of experience, Donna has empowered hundreds of individuals through strength, conditioning, functional training, and mobility. Beyond the gym floor, she’s helped transform lives by guiding others to embed sustainable, healthy habits that support lasting change.
Donna’s journey into the fitness and wellness world began with her own passion for health and fitness, which soon evolved into a deep desire to help others feel their best—inside and out. After a successful career as a corporate finance executive, she made the bold move to follow that calling. She now holds qualifications as an Integrative Health Coach, Strength and Conditioning Coach, and certified Breathwork Instructor.
She has completed a marathon in Prague, a half marathon on The Great Wall of China, a triathlon, the Great Alpine Classic cycling event, Hyrox, and Sports Model Physique competitions across Australia. These challenges have shown her the power of commitment and the mental strength needed to pursue meaningful goals. Today, Donna channels that same energy into supporting her community—showing up for local events like the Noosa Ultra Trail Run, The Fittest 3, and Paladin, and inspiring others to grow stronger from the inside out.
Her approach is human-first. Empathetic, energetic, and empowering. And it’s this very approach that laid the foundation for Create—a space that reflects everything Donna believes in: community, connection, and the power of movement to change lives.
Guided by Stillness. Grounded in Strength.
Meet Dannielle Ball—a certified yoga instructor whose calm presence and holistic teaching approach bring a grounding energy to the Create space. With a deep passion for supporting others on their path to balance and wellbeing, Dannielle’s classes blend mindful movement, pranayama breathwork, and meditation to strengthen the mind-body connection and cultivate inner stillness.
Dannielle believes yoga is for every body—and it shows in her teaching. Whether guiding a strong vinyasa flow, a soothing restorative session, or a meditative breathwork practice, her classes are inclusive, nurturing, and rooted in self-awareness.
Trained in yoga therapy, applied anatomy, and dance fitness, Dannielle brings both technical knowledge and intuitive care to her sessions. Her continued studies in traditional yogic philosophy deepen her approach, weaving wisdom and intention into every practice.
At Create, Dannielle offers more than just movement—she holds space. A space to slow down, reconnect, and return home to yourself.
