Area of Expertise

  • Yoga, Pilates

Qualifications

  • BSc Human Anatomy Physiology (pending)

I am yoga trained in Ashtanga, Iyenger, and Hatha as well as Pilates.  My educational grounding is in Applied Science (Human Anatomy and Physiology pathway) and background experience comes from a career in dance, gymnastics, circus and bodysculpting.

My yoga and Pilates classes are taught from a strong body mechanical standpoint. I am passionate about helping create correct posture and assisting with recovery from injuries.

Pilates is ideal for everyone, if you also battle with flexibility add a yoga class in to the mix.

“Your class is like going to a physio” (participant quote)

Beginners Yoga

The perfect place to start! This class has a strong focus on alignment and structural safety, great for creating the building blocks required for open yoga classes.

Intermediate/Advanced Yoga

Once your basic knowledge in yoga and its poses are established this class will develop further your strength, flexibility and body knowledge.

Pilates

This class will teach you about correct posture and spinal alignment. Expect stretching to create flexibility in your outer mobilising muscles and isolation techniques to provide strength for your inner stabilising muscles.

After battling a knee injury and not being able to play netball for over a year, I have worked hard on rehabilitating my knee so that I am able to compete at a top level again starting December 2015. I have been seeing a Personal Trainer not only to help with my rehab, but also to motivate me through a variety of different sessions. With my trainer I have seen great improvements to my cardio fitness and an increase in my strength – something I didn’t think was possible. 

Combined with my PT sessions and working at Exodus for over 5 years, I now have a great knowledge of exercise and how it can benefit my lifestyle.

Give me a call to find out how exercising can benefit your lifestyle too.

Tiffany wasn’t always a “gym person” but this was in large part due to not having any clue about what to do in the gym!

Now she trains up to 5x a week and she loves weights training! She has been seeing a Personal Trainer for the last 8 months to achieve her goals of being able to do 10 pull ups, increase the size of her upper body and develop her glutes. Safe to say she is just about there and very happy with the results so far and will soon need new goals to achieve!

Whatever your reason for getting fit, Tiffany can help guide you in the right direction to making your fitness goals a reality!

  • Pilates

Qualifications

  • Exercise Science and Therapy for Weight Training
  • Pilates Certified

After a major back injury in 1985 I pursued knowledge to improve my own mobility.

My previous experience in dance and competitive sport inspired my knowledge to broaden.

I am qualified in Exercise Science and Therapy for Weight Training Programming both land and water based, Group Fitness Classes, Massage, Equipment and Mat Pilates.

I have been teaching Stott Pilates since 2003. I was privileged to have Carla Hayes, Head Instructor from Stotts Head Pilates Studio in Canada, to inspire and train me through an intense course of Principals incorporating all forms of Equipment and Mat Pilates.

Through personal experience I believe Pilates has a place to help the seasoned athlete improve and prevent injury. To inspire those new to the health and fitness circle help with body mechanics awareness and to set up good exercise practices.

I am constantly growing my knowledge for improvement in the Health and Fitness Industry. I am highly motivated and have a passion to pass on an array of health improvements from people I have found to be an inspiration.

I look forward to meeting you in my classes.

Testimonials:


“I started working with Gino about a year ago now, when I told him I wanted to get into bikini bodybuilding. From my first meeting with Gino I had him in my corner and willing to really go out of his way to help me get to where I wanted to be. Gino is a very committed professional and has a real knack for being able to empathise with his clients, altering his approach to best suit their needs and get the best results possible. Gino seems to always be one step ahead of the game, always looking for ways to improve either his teaching style or his clients abilities. I can tell you  that he is most definitely a good investment. Not only will Gino help you reach your goals, he will do it in a way that works with your personality, strengths and weaknesses.”

Nadine Henderson

“I have been a member of gyms before, but using Gino as a PT made my sessions worthwhile. He turned my life around in regards to fitness – I actually made progress and Ginos encouraging caring style ensured that I stayed on track. I recommend Gino to anyone that wants to claim their body back.”Helen
