I′ve never exercised before. Can you really help me?

Using a Personal Trainer to help you to achieve your personal fitness goals can be really helpful. Often the most difficult stage in getting fit is getting started. I am a fully qualified fitness professional and I can help you not only get started in achieving your fitness goals but also ensure that you are doing the right sort of routines so you can get the results you want and avoid injury.

I′ve tried PT before and it didn′t work. Why will you be any different?

My short answer to that question is “everybody’s different.” Just because using a PT didn’t work for you before, isn’t a reason not to try again. There are many reasons why your previous experience was disappointing but it is important that you make sure it wasn’t due to lack of commitment on your part. My training programs are designed to help you to become passionate about your health … I can absolutely guarantee that if you commit yourself totally to my programs, looking after your health will become a way of life.

Money is tight for me. Do you have special rates?

Due to the nature of my business it is impossible for me to offer discounted rates. I can, however, help you by offering a discounted rate if you would like to train with your partner of family member. Call me for more information on 0419 338 941.

I want to lose weight. Can you help me?

Having a healthy weight is not just about exercise. It’s also about what you eat and your attitude to food. I can certainly provide you with a program that will assist in burning off extra calories but it’s vital that you understand that you will have to modify your eating habits. I am passionate about eating delicious and nutritious food and I can help you with some basic ideas for healthy nutrition. For additional help I can recommend highly qualified Dietitians who can help you with menu ideas.

What are your qualifications?

What happens if you and I don′t get on?

I always meet with a new client first for a coffee, chat and initial consultation. This won’t cost you anything and we’ll soon see how we get on together. I am a methodical trainer and as long as you and I have an open and honest relationship we will get on just fine. Just don’t expect any sympathy when you ring to cancel a session for trivial reasons!

When are you available for sessions?

I am available from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. I also have classes on set evenings during the week. Advance bookings need to be made at least 24 hours ahead. Changes to your sessions need to be discussed with me. Cancellations of appointments are a no go zone unless you’re dead! Seriously though, unless a cancellation occurs for a legitimate reason I will not be particularly understanding.

What Do I Wear To Class?

The type of class you are participating in will dictate the type of clothing and footwear you will need. For yoga and meditation I recommend comfortable, loose clothing, and generally you won’t need footwear apart from socks. For more active sessions you will need appropriate clothing and footwear. Please ensure your sports shoes are comfortable and are suitable for your feet! If you are unsure about your current footwear I would recommend you talk to the staff at a reputable sports shop.

I find it hard to schedule time for exercise. What do you suggest?

Most of us can’t find time to do everything we want. It comes down to discipline. How much do you really want to improve your health. From my perspective my health comes before absolutely anything else in my life … after all if I don’t have good health what have I got? So … you have to decide how committed you are going to be to improving your health. As a trainer I will encourage, cajole and participate in your efforts. But if you can’t be committed enough neither can I.

Am I covered by your insurance?

I am fully covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Thank You!

I have worked with Manu to support my health and wellbeing since 2013. During this time we have worked on strength and fitness in personal training and relaxation and deep stretching with Yin Yoga.  I have also experienced her amazing skills with massage therapy and can attest that she has quite the healing touch!  Manu is more than a health coach or trainer to me, she is an incredibly nurturing and supportive person in my life, with whom I have shared a lot of my personal, work and family related challenges. I have also admired how she connects people by organising group women’s health sessions and coffee/walking group ‘get togethers’ with the other lovely people she works with. Manu always shares a bit of new knowledge and wisdom each week in Yoga for our mutual benefit. We always have a lot of fun as well. I am full of gratitude for having her in my life. Thank you for everything Manu xxx

Manu is always genuinely interested in knowing how I am, what I’ve been doing, and in doing so created a positive emotional link between me and the gym experience (something I try hard to train others in). I’m an assessor for fitness trainers and I tend to be quite critical of some approaches when it comes to exercise choice and adaptability, plus the approach to facilitating a session. Manu was able to identify my preferences very quickly throughher genuine interest and questioning – and construct a workout that included many of the exercises I enjoy. I would certainly recommend Manu to anyone that wanted a PT that was genuinely interested in them and attaining their goals without the associated ‘fluff’ others tend to focus on.

“I had known Manu for many years in her previous life as a photographic lab manager. I knew of her passion for fitness but I had no idea how deeply committed and skilled she was in assisting people to begin to get a glimpse of their own potential. My health, both mental and physical, took a severe battering after a personal crisis. I bumped into Manu one afternoon and she offered me real encouragement to get my life back into focus. I took up her offer of some one on one personal training and within weeks I was beginning to feel more optimistic. Manu didn’t push me unrealistically but with her support, encouragement and the occasional bit of cajoling I began to achieve more than I’d ever dreamed. The highlight for me was 12 months later running 16 kilometeres non stop cross country in Switzerland. Manu is a unique person in the fitness industry. She has the professional skills and physical capacity to assist elite athletes, but also the ability to “sense” what us mere mortals need so we will at least attempt to reach our goals.”
