Hi, I’m Melika
I’m a Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Architect and BIM Coordinator — a combination that probably tells you I love both design and movement.
I moved to Australia nine years ago to build my dream life. Somewhere along the way, I realised that while I loved building things as an architect, building a life full of health, strength and vitality had become one of my greatest passions.
Throughout the years of settling into a new country, building a career and managing everything life brings, training was always the place I came back to.
It helped me feel strong, confident and connected to myself again.
Eventually, I decided I didn’t want fitness to only be something I did for myself. I wanted to share what I had learned — both personally and professionally — with other people, especially those managing a lot in life who still want their health to be a priority.
How I Coach
For me, training is about more than changing how your body looks — but how you look can absolutely be part of the goal.
I believe that when you train consistently, nourish yourself well and learn how to work with your body, you can improve your body composition and build a physique you genuinely love, while becoming stronger, healthier and more capable at the same time.
I don’t believe you have to choose between looking good and feeling good.
My approach combines:
Strength • Functional Movement • Mobility • Body Awareness
I want you to become stronger, move better, understand your body and build confidence in what it can do — while working towards the shape, strength and body composition you want.
I pay attention to your technique, movement quality, goals, lifestyle, recovery and how your body is actually responding to training.
Whether you want to build muscle, change your body composition, create your dream physique, become stronger, move with more confidence, or simply make looking after yourself part of your life again, I’d love to support you.
Build a body you trust — and a body you love living in.
If this sounds like something you’re looking for, come and say hi when you see me around the gym — or get in touch below. I’d love to learn more about you and what you want to achieve.
