Deb Roach

Billed as the health and fitness industry’s #1 event in Australia, Filex, once again, offered an impressive array of seminars, talks and sessions in 2012. What perhaps stood out most to me on my first (and only – thanks to my broken foot swelling up to ginormous proportions) day at Filex was a glimpse at the … Read more

Why anyone would enter an ironman would have been completely beyond me just two years ago. And yet, entries to popular Ironman events sell out in minutes.

Valentine’s Day can be a little bit of a controversial topic. Amongst my friends, acquaintances and clients, sentiments today range from excited (those who are newly in love) over resigned and cynical (those who are away from their loved ones or have recently become single) to defyingly self loving (those going through positive change in … Read more

Friday Fun: Classical Music + Nature Sounds

IMG_0033

As a Pilates instructor, I often treat people who experience pain on a regular basis. They look to Pilates to help them ease out muscles that are overly tight, mobilise joints and change their muscle balance and posture to prevent future aches and pains.
