On today’s episode I am super excited to introduce you to an Amazing woman who is one of Australia's leading personal trainers, runs a leading fitness studio, right here in Melbourne Australia, is a proud mother, wife and mentor to many. Kirsty Robbie is the Co-Founder of Studio Forty Six with her husband Dean and has been leading the way in personal training across Australia for over 20 years and boast a long list of healthy and happy clients. Kirsty is also the proud mother of 2 young boys, 10 and 14, and she has been blown away by how much her kids have grown during lockdown. A lot of rest, sleeping and eating well has been a blessing during this time.

Kirsty talked about how having a routine, albeit not the same routine, but a routine all the same has been incredibly important for helping others get through the lock-down. She loves to incorporate exercise with her kids at the local golf course, whilst locked down and finding things they enjoy to keep them active. She has found that the personality type of her clients, has indicated which clients better respond to the virtual delivery and this has no doubt been a challenge for her business. She is a champion for changing behaviour, motivating her clients and getting them into the mode of regular exercise and movement. She is really passionate about the mental health side of her client's fitness. She grew up in a house full of boys, losing her mum unfortunately at the age of 14. Her first job was in a transport company and then she spent time in the Forestry industry. She learnt a lot about influence, persuasion and communication working from a young age and she notes that men and women are most certainly different.
