Helen Jordan-Hawkins
Performance Coach and Pilates Instructor
I am a passionate, highly self-motivated individual who enjoys working hard, motivating others, and helping them achieve their goals.
I’m a Personal Trainer and Pilates Specialist with over 11 years of experience in the fitness industry. I grew up in Sydney and moved to Brisbane in 2021. I am passionate, highly self-motivated, and I love to inspire people to reach their goals.
My interest in health and fitness began during my late teens when I participated in Kickboxing, running, Pilates, and strength training. I was instantly hooked by the physical and mental benefits that exercise had on my body and mind.
In 2006, I started practicing Pilates for stress relief and was instantly hooked. That same year, I unfortunately fractured my lower back while working in the stunt team at a Summer Camp in California. To this day, I find it a huge coincidence that Pilates was introduced to me only 6 months prior to my accident. After returning to Sydney, I began bi-weekly Rehabilitation Pilates sessions. Within 12 months, I had returned to running and completed my first half marathon. My goal was achieved through pure determination and commitment.
In 2009, I completed my Commerce Marketing Degree. After working in the corporate world for 3 years, I felt 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!
