Helen Jordan-Hawkins
Performance Coach, Boxing Coach and Pilates Instructor
I am a passionate, highly self motivated individual who likes to work hard, motivate others and help others achieve their goals.
I’m a Personal Trainer and Pilates Specialist with over 11 years experience in the fitness industry. I grew up in Sydney and moved to Brisbane in 2021. I’m passionate, highly self motivated, and I Iove to motivate people to help achieve their goals.
I became interested in health and fitness during my late teens, I was involved in Kickboxing, running, Pilates and strength training. I was instantly hooked by the physical and mental benefits exercise had on my body and mind.
In 2006 I started practicing Pilates for stress relief and was instantly hooked. 2006 was also the year I fractured my lower back whilst working in the stunt team at a Summer Camp in California. To this day I still find it a huge coincidence that Pilates was introduced to me only 6 months prior to my accident. After returning to Sydney I commence bi-weekly Rehabilitation Pilates sessions. Within 12 months I had returned to running and completed my first half marathon. My goal was achieved by pure determination and commitment.
In 2009 I completed my Commerce Marketing Degree, after working in the corporate world for 3 years I had a deep burning desire to help people and wanted to give others the gift of health and fitness, that’s when I took a leap of faith and followed my heart to make the transition to full time personal training and group fitness. I know this is my calling in life!
