I’m very selective about the brands and products I align myself with, so when AgeMate approached me, it was a very easy yes.

As someone who has spent decades helping people move, feel stronger, age well and stay active, I’m passionate about anything that supports health, energy, recovery and longevity in a realistic and sustainable way.

I’ve genuinely enjoyed incorporating AgeMate into my own routine, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with a brand whose message aligns so closely with my own philosophy around movement, wellbeing and ageing well.

Very excited to finally share this campaign with you all. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Colin was my friend.

Age has no bearing when hearts and minds truly meet. Connection is connection.

At 63, Colin joined my Pilates classes.
Today he is 90.

Over 27 years he became so much more than a client. He became a deeply valued friend and one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever known.

Intelligent. Curious. Articulate. Kind. Elegant.

And wonderfully cheeky.

Colin loved stirring the girls up in class. Every now and then he would throw out, “Women belong in the kitchen,” purely to get a reaction, then sit back smiling while everyone argued with him.

That was Colin.

Sharp. Funny. Mischievous. Charming.

Last Thursday he rang to tell me he was leaving the Peninsula to move closer to family in Bendigo.

Part of me felt relief knowing he would now be cared for and surrounded by family.

Part of me felt heartbreak because I knew how much I would miss him.

Last Friday I popped in to say goodbye.

I held back the tears while I was there.

But cried my eyes out when I got back to my car.

Because some people leave footprints on your heart that never really fade.

There’s something very special happening inside Bend It with Bendle ❤️
And no, it’s not just Pilates.

One of the most common things people say when they first walk through the doors is,
The energy here feels different.

Over time, what started as classes has become friendships, coffee catch-ups, support systems, laughter, birthday celebrations and genuine connection.

New people are welcomed.
Equipment gets shared.
Coffee invitations happen instantly.
And before long, people feel like they belong.

Yes, we work hard.
We move.
We strengthen.
We improve mobility, balance and functional fitness.

But the magic has always been the people inside the room.
In a world where so many people feel disconnected, this community matters more than ever.
And whether you join us in studio, on Zoom or on-demand, you become part of it too.
If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign ❤️

Putting your best back first.

Your back and posture matter more than most people realise.
As we age, poor posture, tightness, weakness and lack of movement can lead to rounded shoulders, stiffness, reduced mobility and even height loss over time.

Ever heard of a dowager’s hump?
It’s more common than you think… but movement, strength and posture work can make a real difference.

Do you want to head into your older years standing tall, moving well and feeling strong in your body?

It’s never too late to start.
And truthfully, there’s never a perfect time either.

Start now.
Move now.
Strengthen now.

Your future body will thank you for it.

A million photos.
A million memories.
A million smiles.
A million cuddles.
A million moments.

To all the mums.
The mums doing it alone.
The women whose greatest wish is to become a mum.
The mums who have lost children.
The people who have lost their mums.
The women who have miscarried.
The women who have chosen not to be mothers.
And the people who simply spend their lives caring deeply for others

I hope today someone takes the time to tell you they love you.
To say thank you.
To make you a cup of tea.
To give you a hug.
And to remind you that all the things you do, often quietly and without applause, are deeply appreciated.

And to my mum...THANK YOU!

To the woman who taught me more by the way she lived than anything she ever said, thank you.

You have been one of my greatest educations in life, teaching me through the way you see the world, the way you live in it, and the way you treat people.

Your kindness, your presence, your grace and your strength have shaped me in more ways than you will ever know.

My mum is iconic to me.
An inspiration.
The queen of queens.

And I don’t think she fully understands what she has given this world simply by being who she is.

And from me, as a mum, I can honestly say being a mother has been the greatest job I have ever done.

Mother to two boys and now a grandmother, one of life’s greatest experiences.

Thank you to my boys for loving me simply as me, through all my faults, the burnt dinners and the crazy moments.

I love you for loving me.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

This is movement for real people, with real bodies, living real lives.

You’ll see a real instructor teaching real classes. Sometimes polished, sometimes wobbling, sometimes laughing, because that’s life.

It’s not about perfection, aesthetics or wearing the latest activewear.

It’s about moving your body, building strength, improving mobility and feeling better in yourself.

Real people. Real movement. Real results.

Unlimited online classes from just 10 minutes to 60 minutes, all for $5.99 a week.

Move in your own space, at your own pace, anytime it suits you.

Before the sun rises this morning, I pause.

I can’t remember the last time I didn’t go to the Mornington Park dawn service.

And while I do run a class every ANZAC Day

today’s post isn’t about me, my studio, or movement.

This is about them.

The men.
And the boys.

Each name that’s read out a life that once sat at a family table, laughed with friends, had plans, had someone who loved them.

Boys.

And then there are the words of In Flanders Fields and something shifts.

Those words

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky

I often find myself wondering,
what were they thinking, all those years ago?

Sitting in trenches.
Cold. Waiting.
Knowing they were about to walk out and face another human being.

Because at the core of it no one truly wants to take another life.

And yet, they were asked to.

Those words

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Today, it won’t just be one place.
It will be towns and cities across Australia and New Zealand, the world.
People standing quietly, remembering.

There’s something both beautiful and deeply sad in that.

Beautiful in the way we come together, in silence, in respect.
Sad in what it all represents.

Families who lost sons.
Women who lost husbands.
Brothers who never came home.

Lives interrupted. Futures never lived.

And here we are now

With choice.
With comfort.
With the freedom to live our days in ways they never got the chance to.

It doesn’t feel like something to take lightly.

So this morning, in whatever way it’s held
I pause, reflect, and remember.

Grateful and a little heavier for it too.

Lest we forget. ❤️

At the beginning of life, we’re given this one life.
That’s it.�That’s the job.

At first, someone else takes care of us.�Feeds us.�Protects us.�Makes sure we’re safe and supported.
But that doesn’t last forever.

At some point, whether we realise it or not�that responsibility becomes ours.

We are the ones who have to�feed this body�move this body�rest this body�protect this body�choose what and who we surround it with
And yet so many of us hand that job over.

We look for someone else to show up for us.�To validate us.�To take care of us.
But no one is coming to do that job full-time.

Because we are our human.

So what if you started seeing it that way?
What if you woke up and asked�“What does ME need today?”

Not what’s convenient.�Not what’s easy.�But what’s actually in your best interest.
I imagine things would look different.

Less self-criticism.�Less putting yourself in environments that drain you.�More movement.�More care.�More respect.

Because loving yourself isn’t a feeling.
It’s how you show up.
It’s the way you take responsibility�for the life you’ve been given.

You don’t even have to like yourself today to do that.
That part can come later�through the things you do�that make you proud.

But loving yourself?

YES

That’s the job.

And it’s yours.

Do you know what I’ve been thinking about…

When was the last time you did something
for the first time?

Not something big.
Not something impressive.

Just, something different.

Because it’s easy to stay where we feel comfortable.
To move the way we always move.
To do what we already know.

But that’s also where things stop changing.

The body doesn’t need perfection.
It needs variety.
Challenge.
Something a little unfamiliar.

Not to overwhelm you
but to wake things back up again.

That’s where strength builds.
That’s where confidence grows.

Not at the end
but in the beginning.

That’s exactly why I created my On-Demand platform.

So you’ve got somewhere to start
in your own time,
in your own space,
at your own pace.

No pressure.
Just movement, that evolves with you.
