About

Vashti’s passion for fitness and health stemmed back to her early teenage years when she overplayed her mother's Jane Fonda cassette and wished she too had cool leg warmers and a Farrah Fawcett hairstyle.

This led her to becoming a qualified trainer while at high school.

She has seen some fantastic changes in the fitness industry and more public interest in everyday fitness. Over the years she has taught all varieties of group classes, trained primary and high school children, older adults and athletic groups and those with physical and mental disabilities. 

As she and her parents have aged, she has developed a real passion to show older adults what an amazing improvement that daily exercises and nutrition adjustments can have on every aspect of their lives.

“I now appreciate the value of having  a professional coach.  Someone with skill, knowledge and patience who pushes just the right amount; understanding the limits and difficulty of restoring fitness to a body that is just plain tired!”

In addition to fitness, Vashti has also qualifications in massage, makeup artistry and nutrition coaching. She can be reached for questions, bookings and pep talks here or leave a message at her trainer page on Facebook.
