FOUNDER AND HEAD TRAINER
‘Fitness..make it a habit’ and ‘You never regret a workout.’
As soon as I got off the plane from England I looked around this beautiful country with amazing weather and so many beaches and parks around me and I realised my lifestyle needed to change. I wasn’t happy with some bad habits I’d developed at University and wanted to get back into sport and create some healthy habits instead.
I had always loved exercise and sport and remembered how good it made me feel. I read that it took only six weeks to form a habit and two weeks to break it. I set myself the 6 week goal and never looked back. It was time to start a healthy habit, a habit of fitness and I wanted to share this with others.
This is why I started Healthy Habit Fitness. I wanted to create a community of liked minded people all working together to achieve a common health and fitness goal.
With a life-long love of sports including swimming, running, cycling, netball and horse riding I then committed 10 years of women’s AFL. I was Vice Captain for two years and Captain for three. I have also Captained the NSW team and the NSW Masters Team.
In the off season of AFL I like to challenge myself with triathlons, half marathons and just recently a marathon and my first 70,3 Iron Woman.
I find that training in a group has enormous benefits. We support each other, push each other and have a laugh a long the way.

“You just need to turn up!”
My experience as a trainer for Healthy Habit is a little bit different as I originally joined up as a member of one of the Mum’s and Bub’s sessions when my youngest daughter was about 9 months. Since making that decision to join, I am now the fittest I have ever been, have taken up surfing, team sports such as touch rugby, basketball and netball, and have completed the City2Surf, Harbour Run and a half- marathon (contemplating a full marathon!).
I think that outdoor group fitness is a fantastic way to train and get fit. Working in a group setting increases motivation so much, there is a social aspect which is awesome and being outside is good for the soul (in my opinion). I know 100% that if I had tried to get fit by myself in a gym for example, I would not have got the results I did.
I have always had an interest in the body and exercise, and completed a diploma of massage therapy after leaving University. However, it was not until I had been training with Healthy Habit for about 4 years that I decided to study and obtain my certificate so I could help others achieve their fitness goals too. I feel passionate about providing motivating, safe and effective sessions that will make members push themselves and feel a sense achievement once they have finished. It feels amazing to see people reach their fitness goals and know that you helped them get there.
I also have a special interest in encouraging mums to get back into exercise after having kids. Exercise is great way to take some time for yourself, regain some energy and feel great. Some of our fittest members are mums!

Lauren Kearney
TRAINER/ NUTRITIONIST
“"Just Move”
I have a passion with working with people to help improve their lifestyles through fitness and nutrition. I am a qualified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist. My training ethos is “Just Move”. I encourage people to move their body through whatever means that feels good for them. I like to educate my clients on the importance of exercise, mindset and nutrition, not solely for physique goals but to feel stronger both physical and mentally.
Growing up I was always into sports, it definitely helped improve my confidence. My sports background includes rowing, basketball, running, Crossfit, weightlifting and surfing. My current interests are in training for a Hyrox and running a marathon.
I am a Nutrition and Exercise Science graduate, a four-year course that has taught me about how the human body works in terms of Biomechanics, Functional Anatomy and Exercise Physiology. As well as the importance of nutrition for fuel and the positive effects that exercise has on improving someone’s quality of life. After, I enrolled in a Nutritional Science course at UCC to further develop my nutrition knowledge and to become a qualified Nutritionist.
I have successfully trained people from all walks of life over the years and helped transform their body composition and quality of life. I will bring all my experience to Healthy Habit Fitness to empower people by educating them about Training and Nutrition. I want everyone to reach their full potential and experience their best health.
I’m happy to help in any way I can!
