SHELLEY LASK

Hi I’m Shelley! (she/her) I pride myself on being far from your “typical” personal trainer.

I wasn’t a “sporty” kid growing up, and I’ve definitely experienced the not-fun side of exercise, which inspired me to start Body Positive Health & Fitness in 2013 so I could offer people a different approach.

For me these days, being active is about moving in a way that feels good, helps me take care of my physical and mental health, and lets me do the things that are important to me – and I love working with other people to do the same.

The way I practice is informed by the HAES/Size Inclusive/Non Diet principles – centering self-compassion and self-care in our choices and working collaboratively. I find that by working this way, people are free to challenge themselves as and when they feel ready, and together we can achieve some amazing things. I love seeing people get stronger, go for walks more often, take rests when they need them, listen to their bodies and have a good time with movement.

I live on Wadawurrung country in Werribee, Victoria, where I enjoy walking along the beautiful river, gardening, watching birds at the birdbath and drinking lots of coffee.

My books are currently open for new clients, and you can get in touch with me here
