About Prime Function Fitness

I’m Tina, proud mum of two wonderful daughters (now grown women) and like many of my clients, I’m navigating midlife myself. Health, fitness and nutrition have always been cornerstones of my life - not just in my career, but personally too. I understand what it means to want to stay strong, energised and confident as life evolves, and I’m here to help you do the same.

My love for fitness began back when leotards were the activewear of choice and women rarely ventured into the weights area at the gym. Thankfully, so much has changed since then, but my passion for helping others feel their best has only grown stronger. For over 20 years I’ve had the privilege of working with clients through every stage of life - from pregnancy and menopause to cancer recovery and chronic conditions - and it’s reinforced my belief that movement truly is medicine.

When you train with me, it’s about more than just workouts. It’s about genuine support, motivation, and building sustainable habits that help you reach your goals. Most importantly, we'll have fun doing it as laughing burns calories too :)

Whether you want to lose weight, build strength, boost confidence, or simply feel healthier, I’ll guide you safely and effectively so you can move better, feel better, and thrive for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is functional ageing?

Functional ageing is preparing your body for the years ahead. Enhancing your ability to perform daily activities and maintain independence as you age. Performing movements that mimic the activities of daily life (ADL) such as squatting, pushing and pulling will enable you to get out of the chair unaided or unscrew the lid of a jar in later life.

How do you support menopause?
What is your training experience?
What conditions can you help with?
What is your coaching approach?

I’m a Level 4 CIMSPA Personal Trainer with over 25 years of experience in health and fitness. My education covers a wide range of areas, including oncology, pregnancy, menopause, and chronic conditions such as back pain, obesity, hypertension and diabetes. I’ve been training for 30 years — basically a lifetime of cross-training before CrossFit was even a thing!

I believe that staying curious is the key to growth, so you’ll often find me reading or researching the latest in exercise science and physiology. Keeping myself informed means I can consistently give you the best guidance and help you achieve lasting results.

My approach is all about empowering you with the right knowledge, support and guidance. I offer coaching tailored to women’s health, including pregnancy, the postnatal period, peri- to post-menopause and osteoporosis.

We’ll work together to build your confidence, help you understand your body and find strength in a way that feels good for you. I want you to discover that exercise and movement can be enjoyable, sustainable and a real source of energy, giving you the confidence to handle everything else life throws your way.

As a woman and a certified Menopause Movement Coach, I truly understand the unique needs that come with midlife and menopause. I specialise in fitness designed to support women through peri and post menopause and beyond. Women have completely different hormonal systems - simply put we are not men with boobs and tubes - so its essential to work from a female template

My approach blends functional training, mobility work and restorative movement to help you rebuild strength, boost your energy and future-proof your body so you can feel confident and capable every day.

I specialise in strategies for most chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, diabetes, obesity and hypertension, to improve mobility, regulate blood pressure, reduce pain and enhance quality of life.

Is exercise safe for me?

I conduct a full health screening along with various fitness tests with all new clients. This allows me to establish your current health status in order to prescribe safe and effective exercise. If you have any injuries or medical conditions, we will discuss how these may impact exercise prescription and appropriate modifications will be provided.
