Interests
Tania is excited to work with people from all walks of life but is particularly interested in assisting people who are motivated and driven to progress toward more active outdoor sports and recreation pursuits such as trail running, rock climbing and bushwalking.
Background
Tania has always had a passion for movement and fitness. After working in the outdoor education industry for a few years, she decided to move into the fitness industry and got certified in group exercise instructing. She taught cardio, spinning, step, stretching and outdoorboot camp style classes. She tried to understand why people had so many different postural issues and that’s what led to an interest in the Pilates Method. The discovery of Pilates changed her approach to fitness because it involved a mind body connection and a deeper connection to the muscles that support our structure.
Other Interest’s
Tania enjoys spending her time being active outdoors with her family and dog. They often go bushwalking, camping and rock climbing around the Blue Mountains and the Sydney coast. She recently discovered trail running which she got into to get fit after having a baby.
