References for Andrea Aptimes

Andrea is a bubbly, energetic and passionate woman who I had the pleasure of meeting through an outdoor group personal training job back in 2016. Since then we have transitioned from being great colleagues to becoming great friends! Over the past few years I've watched Andrea move away from fitness employee/contractor roles to build up her own now thriving business 'Happy Place Wellness'. She has to be up there in the top 5 most positive people I know and admire! I can fully recommend Andrea for all your fitness/health needs and if you're looking the best trainer in the Pascoe Vale surrounds give her a buzz- you won't regret it!

Andrea was and still is an outstanding coach. She deeply cared for every single member who entered her presence. She consistently went above and beyond to identify her members needs and work with them to improve their movement, diet, mindset and much more. I would have no hesitation to recommend anyone to train with Andrea. Her work ethic never wavered, she was always on time hellping with set ups and pack downs proving to be a valued member of the team. Internally within the staffing team her communication was clear, concise and caring. Always engaged at meetings and bringing ideas to the table to improve the business and how we operated. Any organisation will be lucky to have her!

I started with Andrea at the park in early 2020. We did group sessions in the park, she managed to train me with others while also doing a specific program to suit my abilities at the same time. Due to my neurological disorder I had difficulty standing balanced sitting on the floor and crossing my legs, also my toes functioning aren’t great..Now I have lots of new movements in my lower limbs and I am more flexible. Currently I am doing one on one Zoom session with her twice a week which is really helpful. Andrea is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work.

Andrea was recommended to me by a friend in late 2019. I joined her small group classes and almost two years later, I’m more committed than ever! Andrea creates a safe, inclusive and motivating environment with her effervescence and positivity. She is always going above and beyond; no two classes are ever the same, and I’m always excited for what is next. As well as group classes, I now train 1:1 with Andrea once a week, and she has empowered me to train in ways I never thought possible. I would recommend Andrea and Happy Place Wellness to absolutely anyone! Andrea has totally changed my perspective on exercise and what it means to be active, and I’ll be forever grateful!
