Cindy Rella

I’m Cindy, an Integrated Movement Coach and founder of Rella’s Movement Studio in Cheltenham. Rella’s is for every body. I coach men and women, and I especially love helping people who have never set foot in a gym, or feel nervous coming back after an injury. We start where you are and build from there. With 15+ years in fitness, I sit between personal training and allied health. I’m a qualified Allied Health Assistant and a menopause-informed coach, and I’ve helped many clients rebuild strength and confidence after joint replacement or injury. I’m a multiple World Champion and world record holder in kettlebell sport, and I got there by living what I teach: listening to my body, training smart. I’ve also lived in an injured, changing, post-menopausal body, so I know what it takes to start again. I love working alongside physios, GPs and allied health professionals to help clients get the best outcomes and keep me learning about the human body. Move with Purpose. For a Purpose.

Growing up on a steady diet of old Kung-Fu and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies , it seemed inevitable that my first foray, as an adolescent, into the world of health and fitness would be through martial arts. Now my passion and experience in fitness have broadened to include boxing, weight training, hiking ,rock climbing, strength training/conditioning, sports specific training, weight loss and much much more. I was taught at an early age how important health and wellbeing was not only to your body but your mind. As a Coach I like to take a fun but educational approach to each work out. My aim is to equip you with not only the skill but the knowledge of how to reach your health and fitness goals, whether it be going the full 12 rounds or rocking a beach body, my mission is to help and guide you through your journey ! "Reach for the stars to hit the moon”

A highly experienced personal trainer, motivator and friend. Having been a personal trainer since 2002, I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals. Everything I know, I share with my clients because knowledge is power and key to achieving results. As a PT, I practice what I preach, being a huge advocate for healthy living beyond the gym. My experience spans from strength training to Olympic lifting, Thai kickboxing, fat loss and mobility. The plans I design are customised to you. So if you’re after a nutrition plan and workout program that you can manage independently, I can do that. Or if you’re after a more hands on approach, I can do that too. While I don’t take myself too seriously, I do take goals seriously. So if you’re excited to change how you look and feel, let’s get the ball rolling now!

I have been working part time in the fitness industry for over 15 years. Since my teen years I have always been into fitness and enjoyed being active. As the years go on and high intensity exercise takes its toll on the body, I decided that I am going to need other forms of exercise that are not so demanding on the joints of the body to keep me fit and healthy. I had been looking at Pilates for quite some time and in 2014 decided this is what I wanted to do for my clients - as well as keeping my own body strong. Once I started my training with Aligned for Life Pilates I couldn't believe the benefits it was having and have not looked back since. Combining both Pilates and Fitness training enables me to be able offer my clients a mix of strength, cardio and stretching workouts which are suitable for both young and older clients and offers variety so they never get bored!

Women's only health and wellness. Like you, I know how hard it can be to juggle life’s many obligations, family, and work commitments while trying to find a little room for yourself and your health. As a woman in my 50’s, over the years I have seen my share of injuries and challenges that have threatened to derail my motivation time and time again. That is why my health and wellbeing programs focus on providing you with sustainable and safe solutions that are right for you and your circumstances. Health is so multifaceted. To be healthy literally means to be whole and I am passionate about helping you to lead a full, happy and healthy life. Life isn’t just sunshine and rainbows, it comes with its ups and downs, that’s why it’s important to have a great support network so you can reignite your spark within. www.justmoveit.com.au
