10th Year of Serving Women of the Blue Mountains!
Specialist-led core-integrated whole body strength and mobility for ease of movement during all of life's activities, stages and challenges.
Hormone changes mean we MUST adapt our training for this new phase of life. Our bones, strength, balance, brain & heart depend on it! The decade between 35-45 is a key time to build bone and muscle reserves. If you're past this stage that's OK! When hormone levels have dropped we can use special powerful exercise techniques to mimic the positive effects that our oestrogen used to have.
For women who want to be able to move through life with strength & confidence whilst decreasing leaks, prolapse risk, diastasis recti, back & pelvic pain. You'll learn impeccable exercise technique that is key to lifelong improvement. I'll teach you how to tell if an exercise is safe for you, and factors that can make it achievable. You have the power and capacity to improve so much.
Any age, life stage, fitness or ability. If you want to feel great while moving with strength and confidence, using the right muscles for each movement is key. Targeted muscle releases followed by mindful resistance exercises under the guidance of a specialist trainer will give you the results you want. Core awareness and function is integrated into every move so you can be confident that you're doing your best for the long term care of your pelvic floor, abs and back along with the rest of your body. Plus, you'll leave each session feeling so very accomplished, relaxed and good.
Exercise during and after breast cancer treatment is such a powerful intervention to improve your health outcomes. Studies show that exercise reduces recurrence, improves survival, and manages treatment side-effects, boosting quality of life. I have specialist training and experience in this field. I'm careful in my exercise selection, look for any early sign of lymphedema, and liaise with your health care team to ensure we all have the important information we each need. Plus, I can put you in touch with local professionals to help in your recovery, such as specialist breast cancer massage therapists and a women's health physio experienced in cancer rehabilitation.
Keep strong, connected to your core, moving and feeling well. Minimise shoulder rounding, glute muscle loss (mum bum), pelvic, neck and back pain. Prepare your mind, body, breath & pelvic floor for birth. Learn your gentle early post natal core restore routine now, for the best start to your rejuvenation and recovery after baby arrives.
Core and pelvic floor restorative care integrated into whole body strength and movement. Life with baby is full of challenging movements for a body that has changed so much over the course of pregnancy and birthing. Mindful strengthening using precision techniques and the right exercises at the right time protect your body so you can recover and strengthen well in your first years post partum. Be confident that your daily movements (lifting children, pushing a pram, bending to change nappies, carrying baby, physical activities to enjoy...) are aiding your recovery and long term core, pelvic floor and whole body function and strength, rather than leading to or worsening problems like abdominal imbalance, leaking, prolapse, back pain.
Investing in weekly sessions with Gillian was the best gift I have given my body. I feel much more empowered from what I have learned from Gillian. From my sessions with Gillian my posture, general fitness and understanding of the correct way to do foundational exercises improved. I now engage the right muscles when lifting, carrying and doing general exercises, and I recover from heavy workouts more quickly. I move more confidently and over time a lot of niggly aches and tightness disappeared. Each session was tailored to my needs and was fun. This made it easy to motivate myself. Don't hesitate to start your fitness journey with Gillian!

-SuLin, Warrimoo
Gillian is great at supporting hypermobile clients like me. She took special care to ensure that I used the correct muscles for each exercise. In doing so she has helped me improve my posture, my breathing, and has prevented the injuries that usually occur when there's no one checking that my hypermobile body isn't just compensating and using the wrong muscles for the task. I can't recommend her highly enough!
-Laura, Bullaburra
I've been training with Gillian in her small, welcoming gym for about 4 years and can't recommend her highly enough. Our sessions focus on core strength, flexibility and learning how to do weighted movements correctly, which has made a huge difference to how strong and confident I feel. I can see the difference that it makes in everyday life.
Gillian has a laid-back, friendly approach, and she's incredibly knowledgeable, professional and knows exactly how to tailor each session to what my body needs. She makes training fun and achievable, and her understanding of menopause and how our bodies change as we age is invaluable. I always feel supported, challenged and stronger after each session.
