LOCAL LIFE
MAKE A DIFFERENCE : Lisa Price - Mum Safe
by Lorna Gordon
Women ’ s bodies have a lot of changes through the course of their lives , starting with puberty , monthly cycles , pregnancy , childbirth , post-natal and then menopause . Each stage is different to the next and each woman is unique , making health and fitness a challenge with no one size fits all .
Local mum , Lisa Price , understands this and through her own personal training business , Body Reset Fitness and its affiliation with the Mum Safe program she ensures that all women who go to see her are provided with the best possible information and support .
Lisa set up Body Reset Fitness after the birth of her eldest son . He was born with the cord round his neck which resulted in him having lots of challenges , including cerebral palsy , diabetes and epilepsy .
Realising that being a ‘ special needs ’ mum would take up a considerable amount of time Lisa decided not to go back to her job as a legal secretary and instead retrain as a personal trainer .
Fast forward till now and Lisa ’ s son and her business are thriving , allowing Lisa to do what she loves the most , supporting women .
“ I ’ m very passionate about supporting women in the community who need the guidance . I get to show them the benefits of strength training and make sure mums who come to see me get access to the right health professionals to help them , so they are strong enough to give birth and recover .”
This desire to make sure women are looked after physically through pregnancy and beyond was a factor in Lisa joining Mum Safe , a group of personal trainers who are certified to ensure they can provide pre and post-natal exercise for women through motherhood .
Each of the trainers are paired with a women ’ s health physiotherapist in their local area who they work closely with , referring any clients who need assistance with strengthening their pelvic floor to them . They also offer a free back to exercise program for new mums to help them build their strength back up in a safe and targeted way after having a baby .
Having experienced a difficult birth herself , Lisa is also involved in ABTA ( Australian Birth Trauma Association ) and brings awareness of this to the women she coaches by providing information , support and encouragement to get the treatment that would help their particular circumstances .
“ I believe in collaboration over competition , we , as health professionals , can do a whole lot more to help our

mums if we do it collectively . As women we need to remember that once we are post-natal , we are forever post-natal and treat our bodies accordingly .”
Through Body Reset Fitness , Lisa offers a range of different options to suit all women , from women who work in corporate to new mums .
You can take part in outdoor group training or Mums and Bubs outdoors , as well as personal training . She also provides additional membership activities like health based master classes , social activities and retreats which have an educational or relaxation based theme .
