My Story.

My Fitness journey began when I fell in love with Les Mills classes. I did my Cert 3&4 + Group Exercise course in 2012 to teach classes originally. I was too scared to train clients as I didn’t think I would train women hard enough. I had the old mentality “you need to be sweating and have an elevated heart rate” as a measuring tool for how successful my PT sessions were.

I later came to realise that the whole idea of smashing clients just isn’t the way to go. You need a further understanding of a client’s background, lifestyle, movement patterns, injury history, medical history to determine the type of programming you will write for them.

I found that I much preferred 1:1 than group training over the years and am no longer teaching classes.

Training Top Tip.

My training advice is - lift weights 3-5 days week and keep a daily step count of a minimum 5000 up to 10,000 steps per day. Work on progressive overload, make sure you are changing your program or movements every 4-8 weeks, prioritise sleep, drink 2+L of water per day, minimise stress, meditate where necessary and have 80/20 rule for flexible eating.

My Story.

I have always had an active lifestyle. Growing up in Indonesia, I was involved in sports at school such as basketball and martial arts. I actively competed in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ)/grappling in national and international competitions. To fund training and travel to competitions, I organised and ran private PT sessions and group classes in boxing and BJJ at the local gym in my hometown.

Fast forward to a couple of years later, I moved to Australia. I completed my Certificate IV in Fitness and was qualified to be a Personal Trainer. I worked for local gyms in the Inner West for the past 7 years, supporting my clients to reach their goals such as losing weight, getting fit and strong and even compete locally and internationally in their chosen sporting field.

It is so satisfying for me to see my clients develop their strength and fitness confidence. It is why I love the work that I do.

Training Top Tip.

Take your time. Trust and enjoy the process. Results don’t happen overnight but they will come when you least expect it so enjoy the journey.
