Advanced Training (for existing Les Mills Instructors) - Alumni

Izabela Maher

I have been a registered fitness professional since 1999. I continue to expand my knowledge and interests to a wide variety of corners. I have worked on the gym floor, writing fitness programs for members, taught a variety of group fitness classes, undertaken multiple Cycle courses, and Pilates course with The Pilates Company. In 2019 I fulfilled my long dream of undertaking and graduating Yoga Teacher Training in India. Since then I expanded my Yoga skillset to include Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release. In March 2023 I went back to India and underwent an advanced 300 hours yoga teacher training, which deepened my knowledge of the subtle effects of the yogic practice as well as awakened an interest in Ayurveda (life knowledge) and yoga therapy. I September 2024 I underwent Reform Pilates Training and gained my Certification.

With a Certificate IV in Fitness (SRF40204) and the esteemed Master Trainer certification completed on July 19, 2006, I bring extensive experience and a deep passion for group fitness. Since the early days of my career, I’ve been dedicated to teaching Les Mills programs such as Body Attack, Body Pump, and Les Mills Core. My journey as a fitness instructor includes the honor of being a National Presenter for Body Attack and mentoring aspiring instructors during my time in Perth. Now based in Sydney, I continue to teach group fitness on a regular and consistent basis, primarily at Fitness First Bondi. Beyond leading classes, I am committed to supporting and developing up-and-coming instructors, helping them refine their skills and excel in their roles. My dedication to both my participants and fellow instructors has been a cornerstone of my professional journey in the fitness industry, reflecting my enduring commitment to health, community, and the growth of group fitness.
