ABOUT
THE GYM

ST LEONARDS

The Gym St Leonards provides a premium service unique within the fitness industry. From evidence-based programming for one-on-one & small groups, specialised coaching to intelligent nutrition education – we are not just your ‘average gym’.

We believe in training to improve not only your physical health and fitness, but your overall quality of life.

Our goal is to build strong resilient bodies, fit for a lifetime of movement. And, we won’t be using the next Instagram ‘booty building, beach body, calorie burning workout’ to do it.

We are NOT interested in skinny, fat, muscly, toned.

We ARE interested in YOUR health.

MISSY

Owner & Head Coach

Missy’s health journey began in her late 20s after finding herself 35kgs overweight. Having lost the ability to move freely and experiencing significant pain she was depressed and knew she was in trouble. As a child Missy had trained intensively in the sport of gymnastics and decided it was time to reconnect with movement. The twists and turns in the long and ongoing path Missy has navigated to get out of pain, back to moving without restriction and a large reduction in body fat puts her in good stead to understand the needs of members experiencing all different challenges in life.

"I guess I'm pretty different to the usual gym owner. Most of them have never experienced what its like to go from athlete to obesity and back again. I understand that 6 week transformation challenges and training without a focus on strength and technique are gimmicks that will only confuse and prolong the problem. A life long commitment to movement (with a high focus on quality), strength and nutrition is the key. My personal experiences mean I have the tools to educate and assist others to make changes for life no matter the goal."
