OUR PHILOSOPHY
Experience the transformational power of movement.
Starting something new can be intimidating and building new habits can be hard, but you’re not alone. Our approach is all about helping you make movement your new normal – not through quick fixes or 6‑week challenges, but by strengthening your foundation with functional movements. We focus on sustainable, lifelong change, helping you move safely and effectively, both in and outside of the gym, so you can keep progressing toward your goals for years to come.
INCLUSIVE + ACCESSIBLE
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
STRENGTH + ENDURANCE
FLEXIBILITY + MOBILITY

YOUR LOCAL PERSONAL TRAINER
Hi there, I'm Kate.
I’m a dog-loving, photography enthusiast, world traveller, and passionate body positive personal trainer.
The fitness industry can be a fickle space filled with noise and conflicting opinions (hello, social media!). My passion lies in helping people from all walks of life sprinkle a little more movement into their day, so they can enjoy a better quality of life outside the gym. This means my personal training sessions are designed with your unique goals in mind, whether that’s conquering Mount Everest or staying mobile well into your senior years.
With over 14 years as a qualified personal trainer and a beautiful fitness studio right here in Lismore, I’ve helped hundreds of locals transform their approach to fitness, build lasting confidence, and simply feel better in their bodies.
I truly believe most people have no idea how good they’re supposed to feel and I’d love to help you have that realisation too. Let’s make movement your new normal!
INCLUSIVE & ACCESSIBLE PERSONAL TRAINING STUDIO
A space designed for all bodies, all fitnesss levels and all goals.
We are small but mighty! Fitness Manouvers has an extensive range of equipment to help you move, improve your strength, flexibility and mobility. From a pilates reformer to a sled machine, we have just about all the equipment you’d expect from a conventional gym plus more.
We’ve created a welcoming and low sensory space with no mirrors, no harsh lights or loud music (unless requested!) – just a calm, cosy environment where you can focus on yourself.
The studio is wheelchair accesssible with easy street parking and centrally located in Lismore CBD.
PERSONAL TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying
OUR PERFECT MATCH
Truly inclusive movement for every body.
Authentic and meaningful inclusion matters to us, which is why it was non-negotiable for the gym to be wheelchair accessible and a low-sensory environment. Each personal training session is individually designed to accommodate injuries, accessibility requirements, rehabilitation needs, fitness levels and experience levels.
We particularly love working with:
- New starters & seasoned gym goers
- NDIS participants
- Postpartum women
- Older adults
- Those recovering from injuries
LISMORE’S PERSONAL TRAINING STUDIO
Frequently Asked Questions
Will anyone see me working out?
As a private personal training studio, you’ll never feel crowded or rushed. Your session time is all yours. However, there may be times when the next client comes in and waits on the lounge while you’re finishing up but the studio is snot visible from the main road.
Where are you located?
Our studio is centrally located on Dawson Street, Lismore with easy street parking right outside.
Is the studio clean?
We ask all clients to bring a towel with them while training and all the equipment is cleaned between sessions. Your health and safety are always a priority.
Is the studio accessible for people living with disability?
Absolutely. Our space is wheelchair accessible (step free entry) and we’ve designed the floor layout to accommodate wheelchairs and other accessibility requirements. Our aim is to make everything as inclusive and welcomeing for people of all abilities.
Is there somewhere to change clothes?
Yes, you’re welcome to use the bathroom to change your clothes.
Why don't you have mirrors?
Our mirror-free environment helps you connect with how your body feels rather than how it looks. You’ll build confidence from the inside out, focusing on strength and capability rather than appearance.
What if I have sensory sensitivies?
We’ve done our best to create a space which is inheritantly sensory friendly. Please reach out to check with Kate if there’s something specific you’re concerned about.
Is the studio climate controlled?
We try to keep the studio a comfortable temperature all year around because noone should be worrying about being too hot or too cold while they’re focusing on movement.
Can I see the studio before I book in a session with you?
Of course! If you’d like to pop by and see the space before committing to anything, just let me know and we can arrange a time that works for you. Sometimes seeing the atmosphere for yourself is exactly what you need.
What makes Fitness Manouvers different from a regular gym?
Fitness Manouvers is a private personal training studio, not a gym. We don’t offer memberships so when you’re having your session, you won’t be sharing the space at all.
