Who Am I?
I’m Frankie, a Personal Trainer with a lived history of chronic pain leading to weight gain and a lack of self confidence.
When I was young, I was diagnosed with scoliosis; a complex S-curve in my spine that resulted in tight muscles and regular aches and pains. My doctors gave me the worst case scenario: if my condition worsened as I got older I would need a spinal fusion. With the fear of risky spinal surgery in my future, I began to avoid sports and exercise in general. I became fearful!
This fear led me to living a very inactive lifestyle, gaining excessive weight, and becoming more and more miserable every day. I struggled to keep up with my two young daughters, and felt embarrassed when I saw myself in family photos.
But I was lucky.
My curvature didn’t worsen over time, and the risk of needing surgery became less and less. I should have been delighted, but instead I felt stuck. I had picked up so many bad habits over the years, weighing 120kgs and living a very inactive life. I felt like I was beyond help…
Eventually I had had enough of this misery.
I made the scary decision to join a gym, but quickly felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to start. Undeterred, I chose to seek out coaches and trainers to help me remember the fun, active girl I used to be. With their help, I lost over 50kgs, strengthened my core and back, and learnt how to move my body easily, without risking injury. But most importantly, I began living a happier, more fulfilled life.
This new way of life sparked something more than just a love for strength training. It gave me the drive to help others overcome what’s holding them back, to remind them that they are stronger than they know and give them tools to push through the fear. I decided to become a coach to help anyone who feels just as scared and nervous as I did.
Because with the right coach by your side, you can become unshakeable.
Let’s work together.
