Heather Anderson

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!

David Mummery (Primal Moves Melbourne Pty Ltd)

Wow! Over a quarter of a century in the fitness industry. I've coached a lot of stuff. Running coach, spin coach, crewing coach, circuits, lots and lots of weight training. Now primal movement for the last 14 years. Out of everything this had the most profound effect on my body. My body shape changed quickly and I quickly added lean muscle. Fast forward and we open 'Primal Moves'. 6 years we pushed this along but to no avail. Ah well! We're closed now back to the drawing board...I am looking for another space. In the meantime you can find me at MyoStrength and Performance in Plenty Road, Preston for 1 on 1 coaching and at ARC Pilates in Northcote coaching Animal Flow. I recently became a Stick Mobility Essentials Coach. Even at 58 you can learn new stuff.

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.
