Hi I'm Galvin, a Taiwanese born in the 90s. I took a leap of faith and left my home country to start a new life in Australia 6 years ago. Now, I'm living the dream as a PT, a plant store owner, and a barista - the best jobs I could ever imagine having. Working with a diverse clientele, I've honed my skills in pain relief and guiding beginners to build a solid fitness foundation. If you're new to the gym, I might just be the right fit for you!

Speciality: Traditional strength training.
Correcting common office-related shoulder, neck, and back pain (my clients usually see improvement in 1-2 months) Buttock and leg shaping and line sculpting (sent with celebration effect).

If you’ve heard random spurts of giggles and laughter at the gym, there’s a 95% chance it’s coming from me. I started doing handstands and cartwheels at a young age (even during my soccer games...), and spent my childhood making drawings and playing the piano. Fast forward to the present – I’m a Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Animator by day, and Personal Trainer by night.

Speciality: Calisthenics, resistance and functional training; performing a variety of bodyweight exercises, with the use of weights and resistance to challenge your limit and maximise strength growth.

I'm born and raised in Melbourne and have about 10 years' experience in weightlifting. The gym has been a special place to me because it offers a bit of respite from the hustle-and-bustle of the inner north. That's why I'm stoked to be a trainer at Project Better. 

Speciality:  I love natural movement and I am a big fan of using free weights like barbells, kettlebells, and dumbbells.

My pronouns are she/her and I'm a Personal Trainer and Yoga Teacher here. My passions include making weight training and yoga more accessible and fun, reading, and eating all the great food Melbourne has to offer. I first became qualified as a personal trainer in 2016, but after working in a gym, I fell out of love with weight training due to the toxic environment I then focused more on yoga after finding it incredibly healing and supportive. Now I’ve fallen back in love with weights and more in love with my practice of yoga.

One thing that breaks my heart is people avoiding movements like weight training. I help people find movement that works for them because everyone deserves to feel good in their bodies.
