Our Trainers

Emma Laitala

Emma has been a personal trainer for over six years. She has a background in science, psychology and martial arts.

Emma specialises in helping people who are new to exercise, or returning after a break. Emma's clients come in all shapes, sizes and ages. What they have in common is the desire to develop a regular exercise habit.

A keen runner, Emma loves to help people improve their running technique. Emma's clients gain speed and endurance without the pain and injury that goes along with unsound technique. Several of Emma's clients have progressed from being unable to run 100 metres all the way to regularly participating in fun runs - and enjoying it!

Emma is also an accredited wellness coach. Through coaching, she gives her clients tools to address the behaviours that stop them living a healthy lifestyle. She helps them develop sustainable habits across exercise, diet and stress management, so they can enjoy happier, healthier lives.

Michael Wheeler

Michael has worked in the fitness industry for five years, including 18 months as a Personal Training Manager. As one of Australia's few certified kettlebell teachers, Michael trains other personal trainers in using kettlebells effectively as part of their training programs.

Michael specialises in working with people who are already doing some form of exercise, but want to push themselves further - whether training for an event, building strength, or simply bringing more variety and fun into their fitness routine.

Michael's interest in exercise grew out of his work with his daughter, who has a physical disability. Helping his daughter lead a more fulfilled life meant delving deep into the latest research on how the body works. Michael uses the knowledge he has gained to tailor exercise programs for people with other physical challenges, such as serious back injuries.
