PERSONAL TRAINING

My goal is to improve your overall health and wellbeing, and guide you on your journey to a pain-free and resilient life.

Using the Functional Patterns approach, I help you move pain-free by addressing your body's imbalances and improving your biomechanics. Together, we develop personalized exercises that enhance your natural movement patterns, leading to better posture, reduced pain, and improved overall functionality.

Whether you're dealing with:

Chronic pain
Wanting to move more effortlessly
Rehabilitating from an injury
Or simply wishing to enhance your overall quality of life

... I am committed to transforming your life for the better!

Through the Functional Patterns method, we’ll work together to:

Strengthen and condition your body
Improve mobility
Enhance your posture

By focusing on movements that mimic real-life actions, we’ll target the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms. With carefully tailored exercise routines, I’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you build a strong, pain-free foundation for a healthier, more resilient life.

Sessions are delivered on a 1-on-1 basis, with the choice of 45-minute ($95) and 60-minute durations ($120).

In our first 90-minute session, we'll dive deep into understanding your unique movement patterns, physical limitations, and specific goals. We’ll start with a thorough assessment of your posture, balance, flexibility, and stability to pinpoint any imbalances or areas of tension that may be affecting your movement or causing discomfort.

From there, I’ll guide you through targeted exercises designed to address those specific issues, giving you a firsthand experience of what functional movement training feels like. You'll leave this session with valuable insights into your body’s needs, as well as a clear plan of action tailored to support your journey towards a pain-free, stronger, and more functional lifestyle.

Your Coach

Tammy Shneier

After four years of chronic back pain and countless failed treatments, I finally tried Functional Patterns – and it changed everything. Not only did it resolve my pain, but it also gave me the tools to help my clients overcome their own struggles with movement, balance, and strength.

As a trainer, I’d seen so many clients facing limitations they thought were just “part of life.” Now, using Functional Patterns, I help them address these restrictions at their source so they can move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free. My mission is simple: to empower people to live active, pain-free lives.

I am a qualified Functional Patterns Human Foundations Practitioner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to exercise. Will this work for me?

Absolutely! In fact, I love nothing more than teaching a beginner how to move their body safely and help them grow their confidence in a fitness environment. All exercises are personalised to you and your goals so we will work to your abilities.

Do I need to join a gym?

No! I operate out of Bay Pilates in Rose Bay, in my own private studio where there's no membership fee required! The studio is a really spacious, clean and bright environment, easily accessible by bus or car.

What kind of results can I expect?

It all depends on you! We'll go at your pace to reach your goals. How fast we do that depends on the time and effort you put in! Our focus however, is always to get you to reach your goals in a safe, efficient and sustainable manner.

What does a typical session look like?

The bulk of the session will focus on addressing key movements that the client needs specific work on, which will progressively get more advanced as the session goes on. My training plans are tailored to each individual person and their own personal goals, and so no two sessions are ever the same!

What should I bring to my first training session?

Just bring yourself along! All equipment is already provided for you to use as part of each session, helping to make the whole process as easy and as straightforward as possible for you.

How will my training help with injury rehabilitation and pain management?

Using the Functional Patterns approach, we will address the root causes of your pain, rather than just treating symptoms. We focus on correcting imbalances and movement dysfunctions that often lead to recurring injuries and chronic discomfort. Through targeted exercises designed to improve posture, alignment, and muscle activation, we’ll work to restore natural movement patterns, so your body functions as it should.

By retraining these foundational movements, not only can you experience relief from pain, but you’ll also build resilience, reduce the likelihood of re-injury, and reclaim a stronger, more capable body. This isn’t just about healing – it’s about long-term, pain-free living.

How important is diet in achieving my fitness goals?

Nutrition goes hand-in-hand with corrective exercise when it comes to improving your overall health and wellness. Advice on these will be provided as part of the program that is created for you, helping you to achieve the very best results possible as part of your wellness journey.

Is there anything I should do or avoid doing before my first session?

Before all sessions, it is best to be hydrated and well-rested for you to get the most out of your routine. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing for exercise, and avoid eating any large meals preceding the workout to avoid any feelings of nausea or discomfort.
