Personal training

I initially became a personal trainer because it would be helpful to get some experience in movement before reaching the exercise components of the Myotherapy degree. I also enjoyed the gym and had a personal trainer myself. After lots of discussions with my trainer about health and helping people, I could see we shared common goals, but often had different approaches on how to achieve them. If health were a coin, Remedial massage therapy and treatment were one side, and exercise and movement were the other.

I completed certificate IV through a reputable provider in face-to-face training. I was lucky to have good support through my training and completed my practical requirements at a local gym under the supervision of industry professionals.

On completion of the training, I didn’t follow the normal path to gym employment, but rather used my education to support my role as a remedial therapist. It helped me to have a broader perspective with my clients. With this qualification I was able to be more proactive in public health promotion, engaging in discussions about preventative exercise. Over time I spent a little more time working with each client improving their exercise knowledge. Eventually I spent time with a local gym running niche small group training to help their clients with self-assessment, recovery, and therapeutic exercise.

Along the way I became an Animal Flow trainer, because I love the benefits of ground-based movement. A mace and club trainer, because shoulder stability and mobility are so important in avoiding pain and dysfunction. I am also an advanced Oxygen Advantage breath coach because health starts with breathing.

So, what does that mean for you when you come to my training space? these days I do see people just for personal training. Sessions are based around stability, mobility, and flexibility with a focus on breathwork. It’s not high intensity, there’s plenty of places better suited to that type of training. I love low intensity, but high sensitivity training. It’s about how you feel during the activity not how much you do during the activity that counts.
