Meet The Team
My approach to personal training is very holistic and balanced. I believe in assisting others in achieving optimal health through up to date methods of training the body, mind and soul. If there is no balanced approach to all these levels then I believe you will not sustain exercise and keep it apart of your everyday life.
I have been working in the fitness industry for over 19 years and it really is a true passion of mine. I’ve worked in many gyms in Ballarat and overseas. I love to watch all my clients succeed, whether that be losing weight, recovering from rehabilitation, running a marathon or triathlon or simply just enjoying their session with me.
I completed my degree in sports science and have always continued to educate myself on the mind, body and soul for the benefit of myself and others. My passion towards this is never ending and I always will see myself in this role of helping others to their optimal health.
I believe in listening to your body and then guiding and coaching you so you get the most out of your sessions. My intent is to support you in a nurturing way enabling you to help yourself achieve your goals.
