I have been an instructor and Personal Trainer since 1998 based in both Melbourne and Sydney I used to teach between 25-30 classes per week as a freelance instructor- healthlands, Pumphouse, FTP, Sydney uni, manly leagues, Inshape, norths. It was challenging but totally rewarding and fulfilling. Then I found my home at Fitness First. I started in 2000 and other than a short break where I lived overseas it’s been the main source of employment, joy, laughter and wonderful friendships. Now I teach between 10-15 Group Ex classes a week with a focus on Les Mills training systems: Body Pump, Attack, Combat, Step and Balance. I also held a Personal training franchise at FF Nth Sydney for 8 years where I specialised in women’s fitness, strength and conditioning as well as pre and post natal trading and fitness. Now, other than my classes I conduct studio personal training for Individuals, small and large groups.

I am a PT and owner of Epic Win PT - Operating in the Newmarket and Windsor area now for well over 16 years. After struggling with my weight and body image for most of my youth, I had a life changing event where I said “Enough is Enough!”. I marched into my local gym and enlisted a Personal Trainer to help me change my life. And change it did. Over the last decade I have been able to show my clients how vital it is to have a focus on health and fitness. In 2016 I was diagnosed with aggressive, Stage 3 kidney cancer. While the war against my rare and aggressive form of cancer is not over – it affirmed my belief that a good offence is a good defence! I have a geek streak and will do my utmost to make even the most awful exercise seem better. With an attention to detail and form coupled with ensuring your improvements and achievements are tracked and celebrated – you will walk out of my sessions happier and with a sense of accomplishment. Come train with us!

Training should do something. Build strength. Build resilience. Keep you working hard without falling apart. That's my whole philosophy, everything else is detail. Three things I focus on: STRENGTH TRAINING Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, bodyweight. You'll learn to move well under load - safely, and in a way that actually holds up over time. PRACTICAL MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY Move better, actively and passively. Better posture, fewer injuries, more range. Not stretching for the sake of stretching. WORK CAPACITY Developing your aerobic engine and lactate threshold, so you can sustain effort and intensity without redlining.

As a youngster, I was an elite athlete with her fair share of injuries, all seemingly treatment resistant! Curious about why some athletes were so much more prone to injury than others and why the treatment interventions weren't all that successful, I decided to embark upon a learning journey that continues today. Currently, my approach to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction takes a bio-psycho-social perspective, drawing from the works of UK Physiotherapist Joanne Elphinston and Australian Physiotherapist Robin Kerr. When we treat our patients, we treat the individual as a whole, not just the injury. When we look at the injury, we need to zoom out and ask ourselves, what is it about this persons motion that makes them vulnerable to injury? It's both an art and science and a field of work that's continuously evolving. Very grateful I entered this line of work back in 2006. It's so very rewarding.

A highly experienced personal trainer, motivator and friend. Having been a personal trainer since 2002, I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals. Everything I know, I share with my clients because knowledge is power and key to achieving results. As a PT, I practice what I preach, being a huge advocate for healthy living beyond the gym. My experience spans from strength training to Olympic lifting, Thai kickboxing, fat loss and mobility. The plans I design are customised to you. So if you’re after a nutrition plan and workout program that you can manage independently, I can do that. Or if you’re after a more hands on approach, I can do that too. While I don’t take myself too seriously, I do take goals seriously. So if you’re excited to change how you look and feel, let’s get the ball rolling now!

From a young age working as professional dancer in the UK, my interest in music and physical movement was realized and defined my entry into the Fitness Industry. While raising my three children in South Africa and holding down a full-time business career, I studied and achieved a certificate in fitness at the University of Witwatersrand South Africa. I started teaching fitness classes most evenings and weekends. From that time, a love of teaching Group fitness took off for me. Since immigrating to Australia in 2001, I added a diverse range of classes, some freestyle developed by myself, as well as Pilates, Barre, Yoga and Les Mills programs. I have continued with ongoing education and kept up with the developments across the industry. For example; Further certifications in Les Mills, Pilates, Aqua, Tai Chi and Tai Chi-Fan, and working with older adults. I still love what I do, and am most grateful for all the support from my class participants over the years.
