Emma Donald
Emma has been working in the fitness industry for the past eight years. After having her two beautiful little girls she decided she wanted to take on a role that helped make a positive difference in the lives of others, through inspiring them on their health and fitness journey. Emma is a passionate and committed coach that loves nothing more than seeing her clients and members reach their personal fitness goals, no matter what their goals are. She strongly believes that the body always achieves what the mind believes!
Not only is Emma a qualified personal trainer and group fitness instructor with her Certificate III and IV in Fitness, she is also a qualified Level 2 Recreational Running Coach with Athletics Australia. With a passion for long distance running she has completed more half marathons than she cares to count and has just completed a double marathon to raise awareness for mental health and Beyond Blue. Her specialities include women’s and children’s fitness as well as aged populations.
In Emma’s spare time you will find her spending quality time with her beautiful family, she loves camping and being in the bush and you might even spot her running one of the many local trails around our lovely Ballarat.
