Do you only work with women?
Although 70% of my clients are women, I work with people of all genders.
Do I need weights or a home gym to train online?
We can get started without any extra equipment, just using things you have around the house and your own body, but as we progress you may like to purchase some weights and bands. I can help with suggestions (and marketplace is a great resource for second hand equipment if you’re on a budget).
What if I’m really unfit?
That’s totally okay! We will start where you are and build up slowly. As we go along we’ll keep communicating about how the sessions are feeling and what level of challenge you feel ready for.
What if I want to lose weight?
Rather than focussing on weight and aesthetics, I work with people to focus on increasing their strength, fitness and energy levels, building a positive relationship with physical activity and moving towards improved body image and health.
I believe that no matter what size or shape you are, you can make more of a positive impact on your health by practicing healthy behaviours that align with your values and take your unique circumstances into account (eg engaging in regular physical activity, eating nourishing foods, making time for social connection etc), than by focussing on the number on the scale or the size of your pants.
If you want to learn more about Size Inclusive healthcare, or find other Australian practitioners from a variety of health fields, you can do so here.
Of course, you get to make your own choices about your own body, so while I practice from this paradigm, I will always treat you and your choices with respect.
Can you help me with nutrition?
I can give you general nutrition guidance in line with the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating and provide you with resources to find out more about intuitive eating and the importance of adequately fueling your body.
It’s outside the professional scope of practice for registered personal trainers to provide meal plans or personalised nutrition advice, but I can refer you to one of my network of brilliant “Non-Diet” dietitians so that you know you’re getting information from someone who is properly qualified in this area and not just trying to sell you a quick fix!
