Haylee Redfern
Forbes athlete Hayley Redfern has been competing in Kettlebell Sport for the past 5 years. She was previously involved in CrossFit however a change in training style was needed to adjust to a hearing impairment which was causing health issues. Hayley has also been working as a personal Trainer for over 10 years, having worked at Anytime Fitness, and more recently as a trainer with Active Farmers who are passionate advocates in promoting mental health wellbeing through physical fitness & providing remote rural communities with access to health & fitness services like first aid courses not readily available. To now become an independent PT.
Hayley holds some impressive titles including Australian Long Cycle Champion in 2020, 2021 and 2023. Winner IKMF World Championship 2021 in 30min Jerk & LC (Australia wasn’t allowed to travel due to covid restrictions at the time hence why it was ‘online’)

Hayley needs your support. Hayley is looking for sponsors to help her get to Poland to compete for the GSAA National Australian Kettlebell Team at the 2024 WKSF (World Kettlebell Sport Foundation) World Championships, being held on 6th June – 10th June. The WKSF is a prestigious event that brings together the best Kettlebell athletes from all around the world to compete against each other and show off their skills. Hayley’s first kettlebell competition in the lead up to the World championships in June will be WKSF Oceania Cup in Melbourne 13- 14th April to be held at the Convention Centre as part of the Aus Fitness Expo.
But Hayley may risk not being able to compete if she can not cover all of the costs involved. We are putting a call out to local businesses, organsations or individuals who would like to become a sponsor for Hayley so she can compete alongside Team Australia. Sponsorship is what helps a lot of high level sports persons achieve their dreams of training at an elite level and travelling the world to compete, in Hayley’s case sponsorship would help with travel expenses, training fees, equipment costs and other essential requirements. Promotion and recognition for sponsors can be discussed, but on offer is an opportunity to have your company logo featured on hayleys training gear and competition attire, acknowledgment of sponsors on Hayleys social media where she has a great following in the sport.
