Professional Fitness Training for men, women, both young and older adults
Seniors Exercise( For those with cardiac risk factors or wanting a genlte start)
This is a class where participants are screened and participate with their doctor's approval. Participants work to their own perceived exertion level. We concentrate on strengthening and stabilising your core muscles and improving flexibility and cor-ordination. Our people say it has made a big difference to their function, strength, balance, co-ordination and brain-body connection. The sessions are fun and a great way to socialise. Some people without cardiac risks also want a more gentle approach to exercise and find this session suits them. Research has shown that it is never to late to increase strength and fitness and we know it is a great help in maintaining healthy brain function into older age. Adaptions are provided for any injuries or conditions you may have
One on One Individual Personal Training Sessions
Some people prefer not to work out in a group so Personalised training can be tailored for those who are training for a specific event, or for those that have specific issues they want to address. We can use the gym for this or work outdoors if you are up to it.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"100% satisfied with Patti's wonderful service. Very supportive and friendly. I feel fitter than I have for decades."
McComas Taylor
"Patti, Today was my first day of the season snowboarding at Perisher. My core fitness was exactly what I wanted for the start of the season to produce excellent results. From the first run to last my legs did not tire compared to previous years and I still had some 'turn' left in my legs, when we loaded the snowboards back into the car. Thanks for all the core training, dips, curtsy squats and reverse lunges. They have produced the exact results I wanted."
Stuart McFarland
"If you want to improve your fitness and have a ball doing it Patti's sessions are highly recommended!"
Robyn Flynn
"Patti's sessions are fun, challenging and varied - it's always interesting to see what she has in store for you that morning!"

"Without Patti's group training I would still be on the couch - she makes exercise fun!"
Joanna Henricks
"A friendly group, very supportive and a great way to start the day."
Kate Cummins
"Thanks so much for making exercise fun and getting me to make it a priority. I feel quite strange if I miss day. You are the best advertisement for fitness at any age and I hope to grow older with strength and good health thanks to you."
Jane T.
"Patti's group training has changed my life. I have so much more energy, and feel the healthiest and strongest I have felt in my life. The morning sessions are so varied and challenging and I can happily say I now have core strength and feel strong. Thank you Patti. You are my life saver!"
Madeleine
"Patti moved her very popular, in person, Seniors Exercise Class over to Zoom during the early stages of the Covid 19 Pandemic, offering 2 classes per week. The classes were a lifesaver when we were all locked in allowing us to preserve strength and balance and aiding our emotional well-being.
Patti presents a variety of exercise in her classes, strength, cardio and balance, and always offers alternatives if the exercise is difficult because of pre-existing conditions.

I have been attending Patti Wilkins' Zoom classes for over 12 months. They are always well-paced, totally suitable for seniors, convenient and affordable. Patti takes great care to ensure all exercises can be tailored to individual needs (e.g. if there is a medical issue). The classes are always varied and interesting, well-structured (with warm ups and cool-downs), thoroughly explained and fun. I can totally recommend them.

A Great Way To Keep Fit
For more thane 5 years we have been part of the BodyRitePT class for Seniors, firstly face-to-face and now twice weekly via Zoom. Patti keeps us constantly challenged with a diverse program of exercises to improve cardio fitness, flexibility, balance, muscle strength, co-ordination and brain function. Everyone works at their own level of ability and fitness. We work hard but enjoy each new challenge. There is no loud music, no expensive gym equipment. Just good fun with class members who have become friends over the years

In Zoom-life we do Patti's well-thought-out, varied , energetic exercises twice a week. I am amazed at what we can achieve in a small space in front of the screen.
Anne Rawson aged 77
I joined Patti's class about 18 months ago during the Covid lockdown in Melbourne. As an active octogenarian I found I was getting very stiff and missing my regular exercise group.
Since joining the group I am so much fitter, moving easily and people are commenting how fit I look. A long standing soft tissue injury in my shoulder has healed completely and a spot of osteoarthritis is much less bothersome.
This twice weekly class includes the full range of activities, every muscle is tested with strength, stretch, aerobic, balance etc. It has been more beneficial than any other class I have tried.
Jill Fearon, Melbourne
Thank you for the engaging and challenging outdoor sessions over the years and for keeping me going via Zoom while on an overseas posting.

Patti Wilkins
Your dedicated Personal Trainer
In my fitness business I wake up every day and do something I love. How lucky am I? A love of activity is in my heart.
As a mature experienced professional who understands your life stages, and enjoys continuous education in my field, I get to inspire you to do the things that uplift you and make you happy, fit and healthy. In my planning I believe in challenging concepts and thinking differently about making fitness possible, fun and obtainable for all.
I do this because I believe everyone should have the opportunity to maximise their functionality, their happiness, their effectiveness, stay mentally healthy and free of physical disease. Everyone deserves that experience regardless of age and current status. My goal is to empower you to overcome any fears that may hold you back, giving you the confidence that you can make the changes you desire.
FAQ
I have not exercised for some time and I am afraid I will seem silly or lag behind. Do you think your sessions will work for me?
All exercises can be adjusted if you need an easier option and progressed as you become fitter and ready for further challenge. Other group members are supportive and encouraging and all remember that it was tough to start. You will be surprised how quickly you make progress.
I seem to have lost not just cardio fitness but upper body strength and flexibility as well. How can you change this?
I use a number of different fitness modalities to address all the specifics of fitness. We train with a great variety of methods including: your own body weight, dumb bells, kettle bells, resistance bands, endurance training, interval training, agility, co-ordination and flexibility. So, together you and I can change this with consistency and application.
In the past I have become bored with training and dropped out. How can I avoid this?
Firstly, I endeavour to keep fitness fun and use a lot of game based activities so that time passes quickly and you do not realise how hard you are working. We can set some goals for you, short term and long term, so that you have something to work towards and keep you motivated. The group participants are very inclusive and form a strong comradery together with a lovely sense of humour which makes sessions enjoyable rather than a chore.
I am not a “morning person”. Will I be able to maintain the early morning sessions?
Others have found that within a few weeks they reset their internal clock and look forward to their early mornings. If they find they are unable to attend due to travel or taking care of family they really miss it as it sets them up for the day. They get to enjoy the sun rise, some good company, work out before it gets too hot and feel more alert, alive and efficient during the day. They also find that those unexpected things that can suddenly require attention late in the day don't interfere with their exercise. Sharing a coffee and a chat after class is a good incentive. Changing your sleep pattern so that you get to bed earlier will help. Sleep is vitally important to our health and fitness and participants find they sleep better exercising earlier in the day.
How will you support me on my fitness journey?
I will support you by becoming familiar with your needs, any issues that hold you back and help you work towards goals you may have. I am always available by email or phone if you have any questions or need some advice and I encourage you not to hesitate in asking.
Personal training is built upon mutual respect and trust between trainer and client. This is YOUR time to be YOU. No judgements. No negativity. I will support you. I will listen to you. I will motivate you. I will encourage you. I will be right by your side, every step of the way for as long as you want me to be.
