Exercise is my 'me time' and my sanity!

Sarah, a member of HBF Arena Gym for over nine years, has been teaching group fitness classes for three. After twelve years of not having the confidence to sign up for her BODYPUMP Instructor training she finally talked herself into it after the birth of her daughter. "I didn't want my kids to grow up thinking they couldn't do something or to not have the courage to even try! Exercise is my 'me time' and my sanity! I now teach BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, Metafit & Freestyle classes and love helping members get the best of their workout and their me time!"

Mia

Health, fitness and general wellbeing for me is a lifestyle.

I was lucky enough to have this instilled in me from a very young age by parents who were enthusiastically involved in the fitness industry.

I believe that everything we do in life is all about balance. My passion for weight training and yoga, together with a healthy lifestyle and attitude, provide the balance I need to bring out the very best in me.

It wasn’t until much later in life that I took up adult learning which enabled me to share my passion through facilitation of group fitness classes combining strength, cardio and endurance, complimented with Yin Yoga, to deliver holistic benefits to our mind, body and spirit.

It is such a privilege to have an opportunity in life to share our passion with others and to be part of their journey to discover the best version of themselves that they can be.

Kat

Kat lives and breathes a holistic lifestyle and all things yoga.

Yoga has been a part of Kat's life ever since taking her first class in 2009. Over the years Kat has tried many different styles of yoga from Hot Hatha to vinyasa and yin. Her favourite being Yin Yoga.

After taking her first yoga teacher training in Los Angeles in 2011 Kat hasn’t looked back. With now over 1000 hours of training to her name and nearly seven years of teaching experience Kat still believes there is always more to learn. When she's not in Perth teaching Kat can be found expanding her yoga knowledge by taking different training courses around the world.

Yoga is a lifestyle on and off the mat. It has assisted Kat in staying balanced despite the stresses of modern living.

Jane

Life always seems a little brighter after a BODYBALANCE class.

I was a participant in BODY BALANCE classes for at least 15 years before taking the plunge and becoming an instructor three years ago. I love the combination of strength, control and mindfulness BODYBALANCE demands. The music is inspiring and beautiful and then there's that wonderful feeling when you walk out of class - a little taller, more agile and calmer - you don't feel exhausted but you definitely know you've worked out and somehow, life always seems a little brighter.
