A Bit About Me

I have been in the business of fitness since 2005. I have my own well-equipped personal training studio at Coogee Beach, NSW. I work with small strength and conditioning groups (mixed, women only, any age). Working this way means I can offer an accessible weekly price, reach more clients and keep the standard of group training at the highest level. I am a McGill Method Certified Back Pain Practitioner and the first personal trainer in Australasia to achieve this qualification. After a thorough assessment I help personal and semi-private clients achieve foundations in order to restore pain-free activity.

There are no gimmicks here. I am simply a passionate, experienced and knowledgable PT that gets results.

Lisa Brown is an understated powerhouse in the Australian fitness Industry. I've had the pleasure of knowing her for over 10 years as a work colleague, business partner and friend. She is extremely committed to providing excellence to her clients and business, and this is shown through her investment in ongoing education, business success and expertise. She is a role model to all Fitness Professionals and goes out of her way to support upcoming trainers, other fitness businesses and the industry as a whole. There are not many fitness professionals of her caliber and standard, and the industry is better off because she's in it.

In 2021 I had surgery for a sequestered disc. Post op I became concerned when some of my symptoms returned. I began searching for a trainer who could get me strong again, get me working safely in a gym and guide me to full recovery. This is when I found Lisa. The initial assessment was very thorough and I appreciated the attention to detail and the care and precision that Lisa provided. We were able to create a personalised plan of attack which made me feel very safe and confident. I now have the tools to ensure I train safely and my back is getting stronger each week. In addition to this I have admired Lisa's passion, commitment, openness and sense of humour.

Lisa is a fantastic trainer who identifies specific physical weaknesses and conditions and works to strengthen them to prevent injuries. I am hyper-mobile & have scoliosis, so having a trainer who understands this has meant less trips to the chiro and better fitness & muscle tone. She has an incredible eye for form and identifying when I'm 'hanging on my ligaments', or if something is too light/heavy based on the way I'm lifting. The attention to detail really is second to none.
