by husband-and-wife duo Tiarne and Daniel Bova, The Yard stands out as a uniquely designed fitness space, offering more than the typical gym.


Dan brings fifteen years of experience in the fitness industry to The Yard. After owning and directing three world-class franchise gyms, he recognised a gap in the market. Dan envisioned a fitness space that would fill this void, providing a comprehensive and innovative gym experience. This vision led him to establish The Yard in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, NSW Australia.

Tiarne brings a decade of fashion industry expertise, with five years as a fashion stylist in print magazines and a decade co-owning a successful fashion label. Her deep passion for interior design, coupled with her visionary approach to marketing, aesthetics, and apparel, has been pivotal in crafting the distinctive identity of The Yard.
