Aaron Lapira – Director of Body Revival

|Director | Personal Trainer | CrossFit Coach | Boxing Coach | Nutritional Coach | Strength & Conditioning Coach | Bachelor of Business / Sports Administration |

I have always loved fitness and the fitness industry, so the idea of becoming a personal trainer at a young age was super exciting to me as I really wanted to make fitness my lifestyle and my career. I worked at various fitness locations around Melbourne teaching group fitness and personal training clients, whilst putting myself through my bachelor’s degree in business and sports administration. After university I realized that I loved what I was doing with fitness and I wanted more, so I started running my very own personal training studio from my parents’ house and also started up outdoor bootcamps, and so Body Revival was born.
Over the past few years I have dedicated my life to working with anyone who wants to get fit, healthy and happy through fitness. Training clients and members isn’t a “job” for me, it’s my greatest hobby and I love it! I love motivating the unmotivated, challenging the fit and encouraging large groups of people to work as a team with fitness and fun.

In 2014 I set myself a new challenge and this was to work with the team at Body Revival and open up our biggest Body Revival Fitness Centre yet. Body Revival Health and Fitness opened up our Epping location and has been an outstanding success. We love what we do here and every member that trains with us loves it too.
I enjoy weights and resistance training, cycling, crossfit, bootcamp workouts and overall strength training. Training for me is all about getting outside of your comfort zone and I use this analogy with all aspects of life. If you stay inside your comfort zone you will never change, never develop and never improve. Getting out there and trying new things and different exercises will not only improve your physical fitness but improve your mental fitness and help you become a stronger individual in fitness and in life. Take on all challenges in life with a smile and the will to succeed. Train with the team at Body Revival Health and Fitness, we will encourage you to train this way and we will guarantee you will get some amazing results.

Can’t wait to meet you and help change your life.

Qualifications:
Certificate III in Fitness
Certificate IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer)

Stacey Lapira – Director

|  Director  | Personal Trainer  |  Strength & Conditioning Coach |  Nutritional Coach | Transformation Specialist |

Nothing feels better then feeling healthy and fit! My aim as a Personal Trainer is to instil this belief into everyone that walks through our doors. Yes I love training others, but more than that, I love changing lives and allowing them to see what they are capable of.  Being a trainer is being an educator and teaching people how to live a healthy life that they can sustain long term.

I live and breathe health and fitness and like to lead by example. I am in the gym every day, pushing myself, pushing my own limitations, this way I know what our members are going through.
Nutrition is what I am passionate about. I love learning about clean and healthy eating and further educating myself about new approaches that evolve within healthy eating. Healthy eating is what makes you feel AMAZING and if I can help educate others to change their eating habits, I am one satisfied trainer/educator.
Ever since I was a child, I was always active. I danced for 22 years of my life, and then started getting into weight training. I have tested my body and completed a fitness model shoot and since then, my training is continuously evolving. My passion is in the weights room. I love the way it makes you feel and I love the feeling of getting stronger after each session.
In my spare time I love to get out and do different things, whether it is trampolining, ice skating, hiking, bike riding- I love to keep myself busy and get out and enjoy the fresh air. I am not happy, unless I am moving about.

Qualifications:

  • Certificate III in Fitness
  • Certificate IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer)
  • Advanced First Aid and CPR

Joey Torcaso

| Strength & Conditioning Coach  | Personal Trainer | Nutrition Coach

I have always been passionate for health and fitness, having a very sporty background as a kid. I fell in love the health and fitness industry from a very young age. I had great interest in AFL football and basketball. Playing AFL for 15 years it was always a life long dream to get drafted. The lifestyle and structure of a professional athlete always has appealed to me. Deep into my playing career I suffered a severe ankle injury to which shattered my dreams of perusing my dream of becoming a professional athlete.

This set back was almost a blessing in disguise, it then made me turn my attention to the health and fitness industry, experiencing this set back was something completely new for me, and it wasn’t until a rehab session I had awaken into what I wanted to do in life. Having the thought of being able to help people in challenging and confronting times, is something that would give me great satisfaction, being able to understand on a relatable level what challenges hurdles is faced, being able to impact people’s life inspired me to complete my Certificate IV in Fitness.

My principles on life have always revolved around the professional athlete lifestyle I live by clean eating and trying to obtain optimal health to the best of my ability. I also am a strong believer exercise is should be involved in everyone’s life in some way, shape or form, as I love to show people the big benefits of a fit and healthy lifestyle. My favourite type of training style is weight lifting/ strength and conditioning training. Abiding by these methods goes hand in hand with how I believe optimal results are best achieved. Being a Body composition/ transformation coach I love specialising in transforming peoples lives around and showing all newcomers around the weights room. I also have a strong passion in cardiovascular performance and love working with athletes and everyday clients in improving everyday fitness levels.
