Ash Damini
Personal Trainer
Ash is a REPs personal trainer who specialises in training those with chronic pain.
I have an interesting and varied background in my studies in health and fitness. This includes two years of Pre-med, a two year study of Yoga, as well as Interval Training and Personal Training.
My background, coupled with the fact that I have AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) a chronic pain condition myself, makes me the perfect candidate to help others in this field.
For those wanting to know more about AS, in short, it is a type of auto-immune arthritis that mainly effects the spine. Half of my clientele also have AS.
I love taking a detailed approach to my work.
I run a comprehensive assessment consultation to make sure posture and alignment issues are dealt with before weight training and functional movement ensues.
Ash makes sure training is comfortable, fun, but focused.

As a busy mum and business owner I understand the pressures of our modern lifestyles. Often our health and well-being gets put on the back burner as we prioritise our family and work commitments above our own needs.
Yet without health, we have nothing.
I work with you to help you get your focus on your physical wellbeing. You will start to feel more in control of your body with lots of practical advice on how to integrate new healthy habits into your lifestyle.
I train men, women, teenagers and seniors. I’ve had extensive experience with pre and post natal clients. I often work with clients who are recovering from knee replacements and clients who are living with diabetes.
My sessions are fun, varied and tailored to your needs.
I look forward to working with you.
Niki Loe
Personal Trainer
Nutritionist & Naturopath Coach
“My mission is to inspire you to smile, love, nourish and move in a way that allows you to devour life with great joy.”
-
REPS registered Personal Trainer (Cert. IV Master trainer + Group fitness instructor).
-
Naturopath & Medical herbalist (BHSc). Nutritionist (Dip).
-
Pilates and yoga (Australian fitness network and Bodyflow training).
After 15 years spent personal training, teaching group fitness, and managing health clubs in Australia and New Zealand, I started to think about how I could further my education so that I could support my clients on a deeper level. Whilst continuing to work in the industry I love, I went back to school to complete a degree which would allow me to understand the more complex elements of health that are so unique to each individual.
Alongside fitness and movement services, I now offer consultations for lifestyle wellness plans utilising naturopathic, herbal and nutrition-based practices.
"First we find the joy, then come the results."

Comprehensive first aid
My favorite part about being a personal trainer is helping people overcome their fear and/or disinterest of fitness and everyday gym culture and ignite a love and excitement for all types of exercise. I strongly believe exercise should be enjoyed and not feel like a chore! Whether that be strength, mobility, flexibility or cardio I will find the exercises that best suit your needs/wants and help you towards your goals.
I especially love strength training with women. I grew up very interested in running and didn’t think strength training mattered. After several injuries and being diagnosed with runners amenorrhea (loss of period) I decided to give other modes of exercise a shot. I now have an increased appreciation for my body and its capabilities and enjoy a multi modal training structure covering flexibility, mobility, strength training and running.
I would love to help you on your journey to becoming stronger and more capable, no matter your age, sex or mobility level!
