Meet Trish McNicholl

Transforming bodies and training Adelaide's fitness professionals for over 30 years

My love for health and fitness began in my early 20s with a single aerobics class. I was instantly hooked—not just by the challenge, but by how it made me feel. That class sparked a lifelong passion for movement.

I soon became certified as an Aerobics Instructor, then progressed into Personal Training and Nutrition Coaching. My career evolved alongside the booming fitness industry, embracing new formats like Step, Aqua, and Circuit training.

A turning point came when I discovered Pilates at a Fitness Convention. Intrigued by its theory and impact, I pursued my Diploma and opened one of Adelaide's first Group Reformer Pilates Studios. For over 18 years, I introduced innovative programs including Gravity™ Strength Training and later Aerial Yoga, becoming a Master Trainer for AG Aerial Yoga.

After selling my Studio in 2022, I shifted focus to education—mentoring the next generation of fitness professionals. With updated qualifications in Training & Assessment and a Diploma in Professional Pilates Instruction, I now dedicate my time to sharing the legacy of Joseph Pilates and Christopher Harrison's AntiGravity® method.
