Cinchpt

Saturdays have always been a bit extra at Cinch . (Were extra- so that’s ok) Lots of amazing people, music cranked up and everyone just getting it done. Actually Saturday became so busy we decided to trial a session at 7.30am as well as keep the current 8.30am. So now we have two rocking sessions 🤣
Today we added to the fun by organising a breakfast box for each client which they could either take away or sit down and eat Nice Guy Eddie Coffee + Kitchen | Heidelberg Heights Cafe next door. It was honestly just the loveliest morning and reminded us of just how special the community at Cinch is. We love you all! ❤️

Apparently we are meant to introduce ourselves every now and then …so hi 👋
I’m Nikki
Personal trainer. Studio owner. Podcaster. Writer. Retreat host. Chronic holiday planner. Heavy-things lifter. Coffee drinker. And enthusiastic believer that midlife is far too interesting to spend quietly fading into beige.

I’ve been with my hubby Andrew for 34 years, which means he has witnessed approximately 7,000 versions of me and deserves some sort of commemorative plaque.

I own a studio full of fabulous women in Melbourne.

I will happily talk to you about strength training, menopause, behaviour change, India, where we should go for coffee, or why women absolutely do NOT need to make themselves smaller as they get older.

Preferably over coffee.

I believe muscle is magnificent. That life should be a series of fun adventures. I believe you can care about your health without making wellness your entire personality.

And I believe midlife isn’t a crisis.

It’s an upgrade.

With heavier dumbbells, better boundaries and — if I have anything to do with it — a few more passport stamps. ✈️

So if you’re here because you want to get stronger, feel better, laugh more, see more of the world and generally make this chapter a brilliant one…

I think we’re going to get along beautifully.

By the way let me tell you about the snorkelling pic above. This was just before the pandemic and I was in Cabo in Mexico. Obviously we snorkelled but also I gave paddle boarding a red hot go. In amongst the super yachts in a Cabo cove. On one of the super yachts was a bunch of stunning young model actor types- who knows who they were? But they watched me as I struggled to learn to paddle board. Falling off in a thousand awkward ways before clambering back on, in daggy bathers and just generally glam ( refer back to photo above 🧌) I was determined to win at paddle boarding. Anyway I became their pet project. I’d paddle two strokes and they’d cheer! I’d fall off and they’d AWWWWW! Then paddle- CHEER! There was a lovely bond formed between us that day strangers in a strange land. I like to think it was Beyoncé and her friends on that boat. 🛥️ but we will never ever know!

Cinch were very proud sponsors of (North Eastern Horse and Pony Club) on the weekend on what marked their 75th anniversary and club training day. A big shoutout to young who has just been honoured as a Banyule Volunteer award recipient - so very well deserved! We were thrilled to see Charlotte also won the Cinch horse blanket! Well done Charlotte and congratulations for a wonderful 75 years!

I fell in love with India immediately - the colour,chaos, vibrancy. It’s where I feel my most alive, there is beauty everywhere. Add in wonderful people, incredible shopping and delicious food and there you have it- the perfect destination!
After two trips in three months and a strong urge to share the fun and magic, I’m heading back again to Delhi, Jaipur and Goa- and this time I want to take you with me.
For many of us India is a “one day I’ll get there” bucket list type of country. Maybe your partner has no interest in going to India and you don’t fancy going there solo (totally understand). Maybe you’re so over organising everything in everyone’s lives and you’d dearly love someone else to organise an incredible, luxurious trip for you (I’m here!) Let me look after you.
I’ve curated an incredible experience for you, with so many elements to surprise and delight- I simply cannot wait to share this with you.
By the way, yes I’m a PT, but this is not a bootcamp. Our goal isn’t to come home stronger and fitter, it’s to come home more inspired, rested, connected and ALIVE.
