🌟 Meet Amelia, the newest star in our BeActive team! Amelia brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh burst of energy to our community. With her background in physiotherapy and passion for Pilates, Amelia is all about empowering others to embrace wellness in a way that suits them best.

🤸‍♀️ Get to Know Amelia:

1. What inspired you to become a trainer?
💡 My lightbulb moment happened during lockdown! Whilst stuck at home, I tried Pilates for the first time and immediately witnessed the huge benefits that it brought me, both mentally and physically. I was so inspired and decided then and there that I really wanted to be able to share my knowledge and experiences with others. I've always loved movement and the human body, as well as education and teaching, so combining my physio and Pilates training all came together quite naturally and I have felt very aligned with my career path ever since.

2. What areas of fitness and wellness are you most passionate about?
I am so passionate about empowering people to take charge of their own health - I love working together with my clients to help them find the tools and approaches that help them reach their health and wellbeing goals. I'm a big believer in finding something that not only works for you and feels good for your body, but that you also enjoy. 🧘‍♀️

3. Three words to describe yourself?
Bubbly, kind and loyal ✨

4. Your go-to karaoke song?
Dancing Queen... 🎶 Young and sweet, only seventeen 🎶

5. Favourite thing to do outside of work?
Pilates of course! I try my best to practice what I preach and get my own movement in. I also love being outdoors, and really enjoy running and exploring new hiking trails. You'll also find me catching up with friends, and more often than not, sourcing Melbourne's best lattes and banana bread. ☕🍌🍞

Come down, join a class with Amelia, and feel the positive vibes she brings to every session! Whether you're looking to refine your Pilates technique or just start your fitness journey, Amelia is here to support you every step of the way. 🧘‍♀️✨

Did you know that finding your style of happy movement could be the first step towards brighter days? 🌈 As reported in a recent article by the abc.net.au, a landmark study involving over 14,000 people shows that certain exercises can be more effective than anti-depressants alone in battling depression 🌟

It also found that "GPs are being encouraged to refer more patients to exercise physiologists", recognising that "accredited exercise physiologists often design programs for people with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder".

If you or someone you know is navigating these challenges, a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan could be the key to unlocking five subsidised sessions with an accredited exercise physiologist under Medicare.

While it's true that five sessions might seem modest, they represent the crucial first steps on a journey to wellness—often the hardest part. "Unfortunately many GPs don't go further than giving their patient a nudge to get moving, which isn't much help."

"It's important exercise isn't considered an "add-on" treatment and research shows patients do a lot better when they are given a structured exercise program, rather than just encouragement."

Let's spread the word that support is available. Our exercise physiologists are here to help you BeActive, and it starts with taking that first step. Reach out today to get started.

Our special introductory offer is almost over! We can't wait for you to join our community but time is running out for new clients to explore new ways of incorporating wellness into your life. For $97, you will receive a physio assessment PLUS two weeks of clinical exercises classes ✨

We put this offer together to share what we love doing most – supporting your health and fitness journey. And remember, there's also the potential for a private health care rebate, which is worth checking out (we’re happy to help with that).

As April 30th approaches, we invite you to BeActive, not because of the ticking clock, but because you're curious about how our classes and community might support your wellness goals. With the peace of mind that professional guidance and support gives, this is your chance to discover more about what makes you feel great ✨

Plus, for added convenience, you can choose to have your assessments at either our Prahran location or Elsternwick — pick whatever works best for you!

🔗 Interested? Find more details through the link in our bio or by sending us a DM. Let’s explore what being active means for you, together 💖 Note: Offer must end April 30th 2024.

Hi BeActive Community! Our studio will be shut on Anzac Day to acknowledge this important day in our history. We will be back and ready to move with you the following day. 🌹
