Going to the gym was a great way to destress from a heavy University workload and I found it became the part of my day that I enjoyed the most. I was getting fit, but was also feeling better, performing better and as a result was much more relaxed. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to become a Personal Trainer, enrolling in a Diploma of Exercise Science at Weltec, achieving distinction. It was the best decision in my life. After graduating and landing a job in a big gym I quickly became a trainer of clients who came from other trainers. A good proportion of these clients prior trainers had pushed them too hard and became injured. The gym was making the assumption that everybody can be trained the same way, with the same workload, and I was spending my time picking up the pieces of damaged clients and getting them back on track. Realising this was wrong, I did something about it, starting my own Personal Training studio in 2018. I work one on one with my clients to define what it is they want to achieve and then design the best pathway for them to get there. The training is completely tailored for every client, making it enjoyable, manageable, achievable and as challenging as a client wants to make it. If I’m successful I can really make a difference in the lives of my clients. They’ll live a healthier, calmer, stress-free, energised and a ‘feeling better about themselves’ life. For me this is the best job in the world.

These reasons are vast and personal and are generally more complex than GET FIT and LOSE WEIGHT. These reasons can be health related, confidence, felling energetic and most tend to involve multiple reasons rolled all together. I then figure out other variables, time available to train, injury history, training history and with the client figure out how somebody would like to proceed as there are many ways to go about somebody’s health and fitness path. Does somebody want to go in as hard as possible? Or to slowly change a few things over a long period of time? This depends on the client and I discuss the pros and cons with each person. From there the first session is where I see how somebody moves, allowing me to see where somebody is at and allows me to figure out a starting point for training. Does somebody need special attention to a previous injury, or work on some technical areas first? The first session is what determines your initial programming. On going, your program depends on feedback given to me and the rate of progress, ensuring we have good honest communication we then navigate your health and fitness path the way you feel is best and appropriate for your goals.

I formulate a training plan the same way as a One on One session. These sessions have their pros and cons. Session are not necessarily the same between clients. As differences between clients may make some training not appropriate for other clients. Pros: Some people prefer training with others Keep motivated with a partner Shared session keeps the other client informed of what you need to do this can help with accountability More independence during session (if self-motivated) Cons: Less one on one time with Trainer If one person may need to more attention during a session than the other.

Also a youth group training (high school and uni students) on Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm. These are a combination of outside session (if good weather) and training inside (bad weather). They combine a large range of different kinds of training including but not limited to sleds, Power bags, Barbells, cardio equipment etc. The sessions are performed in groups of people with different abilities, ideal for people who wish for a very general health and fitness goal and like training in a group. They are great for accountability and motivation as you don’t just have your trainer holding you accountable. Downsides being these sessions are NOT specific to one person as session need to be broad and generalised. Pricing $18 per person per session.
