Genevieve Montefiore-Gardner Personal Trainer

Hi, I’m Genevieve! My fitness journey began when I was 14, though I’ve always loved sports and was a competitive gymnast growing up. Like many young women, I struggled for years with body image and the repetitive cycle of overexercising. When I finally got a gym membership at the age of 16, I began to focus on strength training and my mindset shifted. I decided then that I wanted to become a personal trainer to help other women bypass the negative stereotypes, mindset, and relationship with exercise that I went through on my fitness journey. I want to help women build a balanced, positive relationship with movement - one where exercise is a celebration of what your body can do and achieve, rather than a punishment for what it has consumed. I’m currently on my own powerlifting journey outside of work, with the goal of competing nationally. When I’m not coaching or training myself, I’m most likely studying to become a personal trainer, or at the beach, exploring my new home. Having grown up in Canberra, I deeply appreciate a sunset walk on the beach!
