About
Sport and exercise is in my blood, it’s what I have done for as long as I can remember.
I knew my love of sport and exercise was something I would have for life and I wanted to inspire and help others along the way. This is when I went on to study a Bachelor Degree in Sport and Exercise Science which I graduated with in 2021.
I love being in a gym environment and being surrounded by likeminded individuals. Outside of the gym I enjoy baking, cooking, and netball - I was a bakery manager and have played netball for 16 years.

About
I started out instructing freestyle step and pump classes before Les Mills classes. Throughout the years I've taught many of the Les Mills programs, and now teach BodyBalance, Les Mills Core and Grit and you'll also find me setting up circuits.
I have a huge passion for people and fitness which is why working alongside others, supporting and sharing my love of movement is so important to me.

My motto is we can always do more than we think we can.

About
I love to engage in hypertrophy training using science-based methods. My passion is one-on-one training, as individual-focused training is more beneficial to achieve goals. Every client has different body types, injuries, and mobility issues. So, an individualistic approach to gaining results is more effective. My goal is to develop community well-being through physical fitness training. I believe that "the active soul is the healthy soul".
Throughout my sports career, I played various sports, including bodybuilding. Sport has always been a big part of my life, I have been heavily involved in tennis since childhood and had achieved club victories as a team. I have a passion for helping people, especially in the community.
