A supportive personal trainer assisting an NDIS participant with strength training, promoting mobility, confidence, and independence.


Staying active is crucial for overall health, and for individuals with disabilities, exercise can make a significant impact on physical and mental well-being. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to help Australians with disabilities access services that improve their quality of life—including personal training.


I have always been passionate about helping individuals with disabilities live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Nothing is more rewarding to me than seeing my clients gain strength, confidence, and independence through fitness.


I am a qualified personal trainer offering customized fitness programs for NDIS participants.


While I am not a registered NDIS provider, you may still access my services if:

- Your NDIS funding is self-managed or managed by a plan manager.

- You have budgeted for personal training as part of your NDIS plan.


If you’re looking for a personal trainer who truly cares and is committed to helping you achieve your goals, keep reading to learn how my services can benefit you!


What is NDIS Fitness Support?


The NDIS is designed to provide individuals with disabilities the support they need to live independent, fulfilling lives. As part of this, many participants allocate funding towards health and wellness services, including personal training.


If your NDIS plan includes funding for Improved Health & Wellbeing or Capacity Building, you may be eligible to use your funding for personal training services. My goal is to help you make the most of this support by creating a fitness program tailored to your specific needs.


Meet James: A Success Story


When James first came to me two years ago, he struggled with mobility and confidence. Due to a neurological condition, daily movements like standing up from a chair or walking short distances were exhausting. He had low energy, experienced frequent pain, and lacked the motivation to exercise.


From our very first session, I could see James had an incredible spirit—he just needed the right support and encouragement. We started slow, focusing on small but meaningful improvements. Over time, he built strength, endurance, and, most importantly, confidence in his abilities.


Fast forward two years, and James is now stronger, more mobile, and full of confidence. He can now walk longer distances without fatigue, perform exercises he never thought possible, and most importantly, he feels empowered. Seeing his transformation has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. His journey proves that with the right training, support, and mindset, anything is possible.
