Personal trainer & strength coach · Brunswick, Melbourne
I coach adults who are starting over — after an injury, after a baby, or after two decades of meaning to. Fourteen years in, mostly one-to-one, mostly people who thought they had left it too late.
Brunswick VIC
Private studio, one-to-one and pairs. Around thirty regular clients at any time.
Coburg VIC
Ran the beginner barbell program and mentored four junior trainers.
Fitzroy North VIC
Supervised loaded rehab for post-surgical knee and shoulder clients.
Median change across the 34 clients who finished a full block last year. Your numbers will not be these numbers — they are here so you know what I am aiming at.
Seven stopped early — three injuries unrelated to training, four moved away.
Missing a session is normal. Missing four in a row is where progress stalls.
Coaching
Programming
Sessions are 55 minutes in the Brunswick studio unless noted. GST included.
One-to-one, in the studio. Good for a technique tune-up or a one-off.
Paid up front, valid twelve months. The usual way people work with me.
Two of you, same session, split the cost. Popular with couples and siblings.
Monthly programming, weekly video review, and messages answered on weekdays.
Thirty minutes, no training. We talk about what you want and whether I am the right coach.
Book a consult →“I found Tessa eleven months after a knee reconstruction, when I was still afraid of stairs. I deadlifted 80kg last week and I did not cry, which is progress.”
“She was the first coach who asked what my week actually looks like before writing anything down.”
“Came back to lifting eight months after my second child. No shame, no bounce-back talk, just sensible loading.”
Tell me roughly what you are after. I answer every enquiry myself, usually within two working days.
