Personal training, nutrition coaching + flexible training in Brunswick, Melbourne

Your training should be fun and actually get results.

Life can get hectic with things to juggle so if your training isn’t enjoyable you’ll have a hard time remaining consistent. This is why I started personal training.

A bit about Byrd

I’m a personal trainer who began my career at one of New Zealand’s top gyms and later coached in several well-known group fitness studios before moving to Melbourne. I specialise in fat loss, building strength and helping you move with more ease by understanding how your body works.

I know what it’s like to juggle work, life and fitness. That’s why I create training plans that are realistic and built for busy schedules. I also bring a sense of fun to training, so the work feels enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

As a former chef and certified nutrition coach, I share practical cooking tips and simple nutrition guidance to make healthy choices feel doable.

My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and build confidence through training that supports the way you want to live.

Five healthy high protein recipes that actually taste good (from a former chef)

Trying to cook something both healthy and high protein is easy enough, but making it taste good is a different story. I’ve put together a free mini-cookbook with five recipes so good you’ll be asking yourself if they’re even healthy. (I used to be a chef, so they’re legit)
