RICH & BELLA
Founders of Elevate Europe
We met at a gym... meet cute moment! Rich was a trainer, and Bella was a new member. The first session went well with Bella nearly passing out and Rich carrying her over to the bench. After weeks of countless coffees (and matchas) and thousands of steps, we found a mutual love for fitness, travel and sunshine! Fast forward a few years and we are still travelling and training in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Only now, we get to bring you along with us!

Coming from the sun bleached sands of coasting Queensland, I grew up with a love for sports and the outdoors. While studying my Bachelors of Sport and Exercise Science I also studied and trained in the traditional Tang Soo Tao martial arts, receiving two time national champion for form and sparring. After graduating I integrated my love for Martial Arts and fitness into my own Self defence fitness personal training business. I have been in the fitness industry for over a decade working in group fitness, rehabilitation, semi-private and private personal training. Above all else I believe a healthy, balanced lifestyle is the penultimate life goal. The Ultimate, of course...dogs!

Here are a few things I love: a dip in the ocean, travelling the world, working out with friends, and sipping on a matcha after yoga... and now I get to share these with you on our Elevate Escapes! So a bit about me. After five years as a primary school teacher, I decided to take the plunge and move to Bali where I qualified as a yoga instructor. Over the years, I have supported private clients, corporate clients, and professional athletes, through yoga and meditation. As my interest for health and wellbeing grew, I decided to dip out of my comfort zone and discovered a new love for high intensity training! So, I hit the books again and qualified as a Level 2 Gym Instructor. I get such a joy out of seeing people learn a new yoga pose, or hit a new PB!
