Personal Training

I am my clients' biggest cheerleader! We celebrate wins of all sizes from new PBs to improvements in strength and movement quality. Making other people's lives better is what makes me the happiest. We have fun in my personal training sessions. I take a friendly coach-next-door approach while zeroing in on technique and helping my clients hit their goals. I've found that the best way to stay consistent is by enjoying what you're doing and understanding why you're doing it.

Online Coaching

The primary focus of the coaching is helping you to integrate new habits and build a better relationship with food and your body gradually over time. This includes accountability and support throughout the week, nutritional guidance and training designed for you and your lifestyle. We look at your goals, your strengths and weaknesses, what you've enjoyed and what hasn't worked so well in the past, where you're at and where you want to get to. Then through weekly check-ins and a reflection/direction strategy call every twelve weeks we keep chipping away at your goals together.

What I'm about

What I'm about

I enjoy bringing a fresh perspective to a complicated space. Good health is a privilege but it doesn’t need to be hard.

When we understand why we make the choices we make, we retain the power to do things differently, and that process can be a long one with many twists and turns.

I love to synthesise the research and add context and practicality so it makes sense. When there are two conflicting opinions that make you think 'WTF!', I can help you break it down and make sense of it.

More than anything, I am my clients’ biggest cheerleader. We celebrate the small wins as much as the big ones. And, when life brings the plot twists – as it always does – we create the narrative together and turn it into the next new adventure.

What I'm not about

You won’t see me posting about my clients in their underwear. We’re not here to follow trends, we’re here to create them – a trend that is personal and unique to each person.  The only time you’ll see it is if a client has posted a before and after and tagged me.

Your body, your choice.

I also don’t enforce strict rules when it comes to training and nutrition. I don’t find them healthy or sustainable. We create targets to work towards and when you’re landing a little off centre, we problem solve and use it as an opportunity to learn, grow and improve.

What working with me looks like

What working with me looks like

My programs always kick off with an initial one-hour free consultation. This is where I learn about your goals, strengths, physical limitations, life stressors, mental and emotional barriers, your schedule and commitments, and what you enjoy and don’t enjoy.

It's also a chance for you to get a sense of whether I’m the right fit and if you’d like to start your new training season with me.

Custom Training Program with App: $30 per week

All pricing includes a free initial consultation, personalised training programs suited to your specific goals and health needs and adapted with you, ongoing guidance on weight progressions and progressive overload, instructional videos for each exercise, access to the Everfit coaching app to track workouts, biometric data and monitor progress, and messaging availability throughout the week.

If you want to achieve your goals with structure and momentum through a personalised approach, then I recommend a six-week minimum commitment. This is because the program I create for you will be specific to your individual circumstances. This also helps you get into a regular and consistent routine.

My programs generally run for 6-week blocks with the first week being a warm-up period where you learn and get familiar with the movements and rep range.

Weeks 2-5 are the intensification periods to become progressively stronger and more confident in those movements. Week 6 is a time to reflect on our progress and discuss any strategy changes.

I also offer once-off training for people who have their own program and are happy training solo and taking a slower approach with occasional support and technique development.

Session cancellations: If you need to cancel your session, a minimum of 24 hours' notice is required. Cancelling within 24 hours of your session time and no-shows will forfeit your session fee.

Program cancellation: Sometimes life happens or priorities change, or you might just decide we’re not the right fit. I have a 7-day cooling off period in which time you can withdraw from the ongoing commitment at no extra cost or change to a program only subscription.

Cancellations within a 6-week minimum term will incur a $75 Administration Fee that covers the cost of your individualised program. A copy of this program will be made available in PDF if you're using it via the coaching app.

If cancelled within 24 hours of a session, the session cancellation policy will also apply.

If you miss a session due to unavoidable same-day illness, please as a courtesy let me know first thing in the morning. Depending on the circumstances, I may be able to waive the session charge as a once-off, but if it happens more than once then the cancellation terms will strictly apply. If you don't let me know, then it will be considered a no-show and the session fee will be forfeited.

I’m based in Melbourne, Australia but provide online coaching for individuals around Australia and New Zealand.

For personal training, I work out of Club Lime, Upwey in Melbourne's beautiful outer eastern suburbs at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges.

We kick off with an initial one-hour free consultation via zoom or phone call to understand your goals, strengths, barriers and lifestyle.

Training

Along with a customised training program suited to your goals and lifestyle, you'll gain free access to my Everfit coaching platform to track workouts, log biometrics, easily review progress over time, and message me throughout the week. This is also where you can upload videos of your exercises as needed so I can assess and provide feedback on your exercise technique.

Nutrition & Habit Tracking

The primary focus of the coaching is helping you to integrate new habits and build a better relationship with food and your body gradually over time. It includes a weekly check-in form, daily reflections, habits and progress photos to monitor your progress week-by-week. I review this on a weekly basis and will send you a video review with feedback and support to help you stay on target, strategies for the coming week, any changes we might need to implement. You can also message me throughout the week for support and accountability.
