About Blanche
Blanche has been super active since she was little, with martial arts her first passion. Blanche started karate at age 8 and fell in love. She went on to become Australian age champion for sparring for seven years in a row and was selected to represent Australia in Japan. Blanche didn’t step foot in a gym until she was 21, when she developed a new passion for lifting heavy things. She’s worked at Fitness Playground for almost 6 years now and hasn’t looked back. Blanche is known for her tough-love approach to coaching – she’ll push you when you need it but also knows when to pull up the brakes when necessary.

“Blanche is a superstar trainer! She is incredibly knowledgeable. Her dedication to perfecting form, ensuring nutrition is on-point and being all-round supportive always is amazing. She knows when I need more of a challenge and how to get the best out of me. She really does provide a holistic approach to training – not only teaching me how to train effectively but the lifestyle hacks needed to support and optimise training.”

“I started training with Blanche in July 2020 and it’s been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was looking for fat loss and increasing overall fitness, but the benefits of training with her have gone far beyond. I like how she focuses on all aspects of fitness, including nutrition, and the variety of exercises keeps the training interesting, because I get bored doing the traditional dumbbell/barbell exercises. I’m always amazed by how Blanche knows how much to push me during my workouts. I have done exercises I never thought I could do and would’ve never attempted if she didn’t push me to do them. It’s never been easy but it’s highly rewarding. Thanks to training with Blanche, my lifestyle has changed in a positive way, and I’ve also noticed changes in other aspects of life, like confidence, posture and energy levels. She is also great company during the workout!”

She’s always delivering consistently challenging programs that keep me interested and build on my skills and abilities along the way. Her passionate approach to fitness and nutrition keeps me motivated to push harder, do more and achieve my goals.”

“I love training with Blanche. I don’t think I’ve ever missed a session because even if I’m tired or feeling crap, I always know I’m going to feel better afterwards. The exercises are always so interesting, fun and super challenging. She has pushed me beyond anything I thought was possible. Because I feel so safe in the techniques that Blanche has taught me, I’m not scared to push myself.”
