What to expect
You & Your Health = Priority Number 1!
A Corrective Exercise Plan
We all know there are things we need to take care of in our lives, and somehow in the shuffle of it all, we forget about somebody very important - Ourselves!
I do believe you simply need to make the time to take care of yourself.
It needs to be planned into your schedule just like everything else, or you’ll find at the end of your day it just didn’t get done again. Movement is an essential requirement of the body, and therefore it is non-negotiable.
Unfortunately, ‘use it’ or ‘lose it’ applies, in regard to bodily functions, such as muscle bass, bone mass, balance, mobility, strength, memory…
The truth is, if we don’t make time now and do preventative and maintenance methods, we may find ourselves suffering from health concerns and a mediocre quality of life, and wishing that we had done something about it earlier. Our ability to contribute and perform in our lives and realize our dreams, is directly affected by our fitness levels and our willingness to take action.
Be pro-active in your quality of life.
You will gain more than you invest.
You will learn the fundamental building blocks for great posture and dynamic movement, and how to gain control of injuries and your health.
This will encourage long-term adherence and self maintenance, which will improve your quality of life and vitality.
The 3 Steps
Step 1
Assessment - Your initial session is a thorough posture and movement assessment, where we determine exactly what you want, what your problem areas are to work on, how your body is currently programmed to move, and to ensure the safety and appropriateness of exercises, and for your movement abilities.
Posture assessments are detailed and explained. This information leads to…
a) Awareness - you becoming very aware of what your posture and body is doing right now, and learning how to do things differently that supports you rather than staying at your same state, which may be keeping you sore and stiff.
b) Correction - you’ll learn how to easily make corrections to your posture, movement mechanics, to injuries, weaknesses, imbalances and compensation patterns.
Step 3
Reinforce sessions - These are so you understand and remember your targeted exercises, which is critical for you to stay consistent, and to see the changes you’re looking for. Also, so that both you and me, know that you’re doing your exercises right and safely.
Step 2
Your Personalised Programme - Learn new moves, posture tips, exercises and stretches, that will correct and rebalance your body. This will be fun and interesting, and you’ll receive movement programmes that are safe, simple,
time-efficient and tailored to address your specific issues.

“I consider myself most fortunate to have met with exercise physiologist, Jodie Hopkins. I've had Trainers before, but they just eventually broke me down, not built me up like Jodie has. She has supported me enormously in rehabilitation after an accident 3 years ago which left me with a debilitating Medial Nerve injury, chronic pain and reduced functional ability. My training with Jodie has made major improvements in my life. The pain and restriction relieved.
Jodie has provided not only fantastic physical support but also a similar high standard of emotional and nutritional support. I am amazed at her ability to safely adapt exercises every time to meet my limitations. The state I was, I never imagined being able to do ALL the things I can now. I'm fit, strong, healthy and have movement again! Plus I'm an inspiration to others. Who would've thought?
She has a lively personality always with a caring attitude whom makes me laugh and makes me want to strive for more.
I look forward immensely to my weekly sessions which leave me feeling so energized.”
Book A Session Just For You
Every one can benefit from specific guidance, to oversee their workout program, monitor the progress and hold one accountable. Anyone can wing-it with exercising, but a dynamic, personalised plan can teach you how to train right and get those results you want, far more effectively. Just like anything in life: learn the correct foundations first, then build upon these! Corrective Exercise by an Exercise Physiologist will take into account your Posture, Fitness Goals, your Eating Habits, your Stress Load, Sleep Patterns, your Health Status, and any Injuries.
Your Sessions are all about YOU and your needs!
I believe being active should make you happy! That’s what it’s all about.
Feeling great in your body and about yourself.
Succeeding in things you never thought were possible a year ago.
Looking better, having more energy, moving with more ease, feeling stronger, fitter and healthier.
It’s important you enjoy your workouts and that you actually want to sustain them for life. These things help you feel intrinsically happier! If a workout is fun and social it helps, right? Laughter and support makes everything easier.
Training sessions don’t always have to be hard, boring, or repetitive!
They definitely shouldn’t break you down, give you injuries, or make you release your stomach contents. I see so many clients pushed to their limits, in the name of a good hard workout, but only to see their technique and posture fly out the door, leading them to a host of possible injuries and compensations.
It’s about training smart, not hard!
