Rella's Strength & Wellness Studio

I used to train in the martial arts and boxing, but as I got into my 30’s my body started to give out.I’d have to leave training for 12 months at a time to let myself heal, and then I’d go back and training would be good for around 5 or 6 months, I’d get my wind back then something would just blow out and stop me from training again.This cycle continued for years until I found myself aged in my 40’s in constant pain. I stopped training and did no exercise for almost a decade.2 years ago, I was introduced to Cindy, she took the time to understand my history and developed a schedule that would increase my movement, flexibility and health without breaking anything.This involved unlearning old habits of ‘training to the max’ and learning new ones to do with breathing and proper movement.We’ve also done prehab and rehab work for a knee replacement earlier this year which has helped massively with recovery.As of now, at 54 years of age, I have the following benefits1. I’ve learnt a lot about the body and movement2. I’m walking every day3. I’ve had no injuries from training with Cindy.4. I’ve lost 25KG and am only 11KG’s from my goal weight5. I’ve stopped taking blood pressure medication completely6. I’m reducing my pain medications (which I hardly need now, but the withdrawal effects require a reduction over time)7. Most importantly, I’m starting to get my spark back, I feel excited by life for the first time in decades.If any of the above resonates, and you need a little help getting out of the rut you’re in, Cindy will work with you to get you where you need to be.No excuses, be brave, get it done.

I first met Cindy 5 years ago at the Filex fitness Expo and immediately admired her values & beliefs on allowing all people to move, no matter what their barriers/struggles or goals may be.If you are wanting to be a better you, whether it be fitness, strength - mentally & physically, injury rehab or just to get back to being you, then i could not possibly recommend Cindy high enough!

Rella’s Hub embodies their motto – “Everybody deserves the chance to move”. Rella’s is a truly unique place. Each person who walks through the door is valued, respected and empowered to achieve their movement goals. Cindy ensures goals and therefore training sessions are ambitious, tailored and she gets the very best out of you in every session. To see the improvement in fellow clients and being able to share in their joy and success is amazing. Cindy believes in her clients and is with them every step of their movement journey, with unbridled passion and care.

Cindy is a great trainer and works around my busy schedule to fit me in when I need to change times. Her new studio has a great fit out, you won't be short of equipment to use or new 'fun' activities she invents. If you want to mix your training up, highly recommend Cindy.

I loved Cindy’s holistic approach to movement.In our first session she identified exactly what my body needed to help me achieve my swimming goal. She included mobilising exercises that I can practise myself throughout the day, as well as specific strengthening exercises that will help with my swimming.I loved her creativity at the end of the session, finishing with something fun, and having the added bonus of it still being tied into my swimming goal!!Thanks Cindy.

Rella's kids classes are super fun! Coach Cindy tailors the class to meet the participants needs and to ensure each child is enjoying themselves while challenging their bodies and encouraging a growth mindset. My children haven't stopped talking about their time at Rella's and can't wait for their next session! See you soon, Cindy!

I went to see Cindy in February with intractable lower back pain, about 5 unwanted lockdown kilos that wouldn't budge, and a creeping middle-age loss of strength that was depressing. Cindy has gently and expertly turned me into a stronger, leaner and much happier version of me. She rocks. If you live bayside, go see her now.

My eating habits were awful before Cindy Rella helped me. She didn’t preach to me, she showed me how easy it is to eat properly. I was amazed! I’m dropping weight, feeling a whole lot better and it’s costing me much less than all the rubbish food I used to eat. Give it a go. You won’t be sorry. Thanks very much Cindy. You have changed my life!
