BIO
MissFIT Movement, like many of the best ideas, came from children! I was a teacher for over 12 years, and a gym instructor for going on 20 years!
In my time teaching year 7’s, my stud
ents asked me to deliver some of my gym exercises to them. After years of doing aerobics and yoga for the students, staff and parents in the school at which I worked, I decided to branch out and create my own business in order to bring wellbeing and fitness to as many students and schools as possible.
This is how MissFIT Movement was created, back in 2016. Since then, we have not looked back. Qraudrupling the number of programs we deliver, and adding more instructors to our team.

Getting Children Moving
Fitness and wellbeing have been recognised as increasingly important in the lives of children. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends 60 minutess of moderate to vigorous exercise per day for children aged 5 - 17! While most schools only have 1-2 PE lessons per week. This is where we can help, by incorporating physical activity into other areas of school. For instance daily fitness or a wellbeing program, meaning social and emotional benefits also!
MissFIT Movement is committed to providing fitness and movement opportunities to all students by providing a safe, positive, no pressure environment. We establish positive wellbeing through physical activity, while increasing feelings of purpose, accomplishment, and morale.
Our programs are expertly choreographed to popular music. They concentrate on evidence-based exercises to improve strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness.
We FIT with the Australian curriculum. Our programs link to various outcomes within Health and Physical Education, as well as Positive Education.
No need for expensive sound systems or fancy gyms. MissFIT Movement brings it all to you. The only thing needed is space. We come to you and bring the fun and fitness too!
