A Bit About Me
I’m Cindy Rella, a lifestyle athlete, movement coach, and founder of Rella’s Movement Studio. With over 30 years in sport, from earning my 4th Dan in Karate and completing the Ironman World Championship to becoming a multiple Kettlebell World Champion, I’ve learned that real success doesn’t come from training harder, but smarter.
After burning out from chasing goals, I discovered the power of listening to my body, adapting, and finding joy in movement. That shift not only brought me my greatest athletic achievements but also inspired me to create Rella’s: a safe, inclusive studio where every body can build strength, mobility, and confidence.
At Rella’s, we focus on sustainable human movement, bridging the gap between personal training and allied health to improve healthspan, prevent injury, and empower people to thrive. My mission is simple: help every body move with purpose, for a purpose, embrace change, and be their own brave. That’s our fitness difference.

I have been actively participating in Cindy's group training for the last 16 months, and have found her a remarkably effective and friendly trainer. She takes charge of the class in such a way as to promote team effort as well as encouraging each person to their maximum capability, whist still recognising their individual fitness levels and goals. Cindy inspires others by here own determination and her "you can do it" attitude. Last year I broke my hand, and Cindy would always encourage me to keep exercising, and would find ways for me to still be able to participate in the group class in a meaningful way. She leads by example.

Before I started training with Cindy I was sedentary, had lower back problems, and anxiety. I was about to start a new job and wanted to build exercise into my routine. My aim was to improve my mental and physical health and six months on its working! I feel stronger and am pleased to be more active with my children. Having a personal trainer is a partnership, Cindy is a great listener and gets just as much pleasure out of my achievements. I’ve increased my training from 2 to 3 days a week, replacing a session of pilates a week because I find personal training is also more mentally engaging. I leave with a smile on my face, sweat on my brow and feeling good.

I used to train in martial arts and boxing, but as I got into my 30’s my body started to give out. I’d have to leave training for 12 months at a time to let myself heal, and then I’d go back and training would be good for around 5 or 6 months, I’d get my wind back then something would just blow out and stop me from training again. This cycle continued for years until I found myself aged in my 40’s in constant pain. I stopped training and did no exercise for almost a decade. 2 years ago, I was introduced to Cindy, she took the time to understand my history and developed a schedule that would increase my movement, flexibility and health without breaking anything.
