Prakriti

Prakriti

With over 6 years of weightlifting and a love for powerlifting, I’ve seen firsthand how strength training can transform both body and mind. What began as a hobby is now a lifestyle that’s made me more athletic, disciplined, and eager to help others feel their best. I believe training should be something you look forward to – challenging, yes, but also fun and rewarding. Whether you’re pushing for a PB or just learning to move with confidence, sessions with me bring a balance of focused work, plenty of encouragement and a good laugh.

Outside the gym, I love playing sports (pretty much any kind – but basketball has my heart), diving into a good book and chatting all things training and recovery.

  • Certificate III & IV in Fitness
