'Move well to BE well' APT celebrates every human, we all need heal-thy movement, human connection & deep understanding of ourselves. What do you need?

Looking for care, connection and community? You are in the right place. APT was founded 14 years ago - initially as a mobile Personal Training Business for the first 6 years. Andrea then branched out into Studio based Small Group Classes and in 2020 created and began developing her live online + recordings flexible program. Today in 2023 APT offers a versatile opportunity for anyone anywhere to connect and create their own recipe for happy, healthy movement and join the friendly APT Community - either face to face or online. One on One & Small Groups in 3 Richmond Studio Spaces or live online + recordings, mean that you can find and create what suits you and YOUR life even when you are travelling or away from home. What do you want? If you know - great - if you are not sure - APT will help you find that clarity & support you. Once this is clear - you will ignite your curiosity to play, explore and learn so much more! APT programs include:
*Mobility Matters (exclusive & created by APT - no floor work or kneeling)

*Pilates
*MOTR magic

An APT Session or class will build and improve mobility, bodystrength, alignment, flexibility & fitness from where you are NOW - starting with the powerful connection of mind and body.

🌟APT Bite Size & Wise FREE Library has been building with this research & feel good knowledge for some years!! 92nd snack just dropped - aiming for 100 by end of 2025.

You can get some decent huffy puffy in a 4 minute tabata, bodystrength exertion in 4 mins, barre mobility in 4 mins & mindful re-balance breathing in 5 mins 😊

I’ve been writing about health and fitness at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age for about 14 years now. During that time, a body of research has emerged challenging the idea that physical activity has to be long – or structured – to be effective.

Some of the findings that stood out to me were:

✅🌟 The idea of exercise snacks where we could get bang for buck with just a few minutes of intense exercise. Earlier this year a study found that about five minutes of vigorous intensity, incidental activity every day related to a reduced risk of a serious heart event or death by as much as 38 per cent.

✅ The understanding that exercise, in any way, shape or form, is integral to mood, mental health and good sleep.

✅ The knowledge that sitting all day every day is damaging, and is not offset by getting a “proper” workout in.

✅ And then the appreciation that there is value in incidental activity, and that there is an incremental benefit. Even if we can’t do structured exercise, all the bits of movement we do throughout the day add up. Especially if we incorporate a little huffing and puffing.

✅ And what helped me to overcome the guilt of taking a lunch break on work days to go for a walk or to exercise was research finding that exercise improves our cognitive function at work, including attention, working memory and problem-solving.

✅ There are also studies that show acute bursts of vigorous activity lower the markers of stress – things like blood pressure, cortisol levels, heart rate – and enable us to cope better with external stressors.
