REAL WOMEN
“For me it’s the what’s different. As someone who feels uncomfortable in a normal gym environment but needs the guidance from a trainer, you create a safe space to become stronger while also understanding everyone’s individual strengths and limitations or injuries. For me it’s simple, I feel safe”.
“I’ve been training with Lara for over 5 years, individually and in the Saturday group. I love her focus on functional and strength training, which she tailors to my unique needs of hip imbalances, even in a group setting. Exercises are specific to women and you have this amazing group of like-minded friends to train with. Lara is also super-diligent in monitoring technique and I love her ‘little bit of crazy’”
“I love the motivation you provide, it is easy to get up and get to the gym. You understand where everyone is and how much they need, along with making sure we are recovering and looking after ourselves, not just at the gym but at home. Also my energy levels increased after the first session. So good! Also seeing some definition in my stomach now”.
“I met Lara through a friend when I started with her yin yoga classes. She is knowledgeable and inclusive, but also supportive, especially in understanding my injuries. After joining her strength training group, I continued to benefit from her expertise, care, and understanding of my unique needs. Lara’s support also extends beyond the gym with thoughtful check-ins and tailored holiday programs. She has also gathered an amazing group of like-minded women, creating a fantastic community. Thanks, Lara!”
“I have been doing Lara’s group sessions for 5 months now. I started at 4 months postpartum with my third baby in under 4 years so it was challenging for me with issues that a lot of women face post child birth.
As a Chiropractor myself, I have been astounded by Lara’s knowledge of the female body and how safe she has made my return to fitness. I am feeling more confident each week in what my body is capable of and the results are obvious. Aside from the fitness benefits, Lara has created a safe space within her studio where I feel welcome and supported and for that, I am so grateful. I look forward to my sessions each week and am so excited that the goal of getting back to my pre pregnancy body is actually feeling more achievable with every week that passes. Thank you Lara. You are making such a difference in my life”.
“I joined Lara’s group training when I was 12 months postpartum and it was one of the best things I did for myself after having a baby!
Lara really takes the time to learn about all your injuries and niggles (which I had a lot!) and ensures that she is catering to everyone in her sessions. It’s been amazing learning how to exercise and move my body again in a way that feels good and benefits me. Highly recommend to anyone who’s had a baby and dealing with things like prolapse, aches & pains etc’”
“I am stronger, fitter, and more confident in my body than I was before baby and most of the credit goes to Lara.
Lara pairs expertise with empathy and employs deep knowledge and unrelenting effort to craft a program that’s YOU (not someone else, you.) She meets you right where you are (brushed teeth or no) and bears witness while coaching, mentoring and supporting mums to relieve pain and build strength. TLDR: Sign up now”.
“Doing a Strong Start session with Lara is one of the best investments I’ve spent on my health recently.
I booked in with Lara because I wanted to an in depth critique of my technique. I’m pretty happy with my routine but want to make sure that I’m optimising and engaging the right muscles.
This session is so thorough and Lara’s knowledge and expertise is clear. I’ve come away with so much insight into the way I move and with loads of actionable tips and as well as exercises. My chronic hip tightness has already improved after just 10 days of implementing a few of the cues she gave, I’m blown away. Highly recommend!”
