I have been training with Rita Horton at Bellissima Fisica for almost 6 months and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and my subsequent ‘transformation’.

I have, for a long time, considered strength and cardio training to be essential ingredients in my personal recipe for health, wellbeing, motivation & performance. Consequently I have, over the years, experienced numerous & varied styles of personal trainers, exercise programs, venues, and training times.

Before I commenced at Bellissima Fisica, I wrote myself a clear brief on the training regime that would best work for me, and what results I was expecting. I was also very clear about my personal commitment to achieving my desired state, both mental & physical. In my experience, a good trainer will only achieve great results if the client is committed to taking personal responsibility for their own outcome.

In reviewing my brief, I wanted to be able to work with a Personal Trainer 3 days a week. I specifically wanted early morning sessions with the flexibility to change days, & times, if family or work commitments took priority.

Having previously experienced both Gym and outdoor training I wanted to be able to combine the obvious advantages of the Gym - machines and shelter - with the ambiance, tranquility, and inspiration that can only be achieved in a natural outdoor environment

With my ‘brief’ in mind, Rita Horton & Bellissima Fisica was the obvious choice for me. Over the last 6 months I have found Rita to be a highly motivated and committed individual who is focused on developing & implementing programs that meet my changing needs and goals, always keeping me engaged & motivated.

Rita is passionate about health, and the maintenance of physical & mental ‘Well Being’.
And she is continually working to further her knowledge and expertise. She is extremely flexible & generous with her time, and is determined to assist me in achieving my goals.

Her fitness studio, Bellissima Fisica, is an elevated pavilion situated on a beautiful property, in stunning rural surrounds. The studio is equipped with a range of machines, weights and apparatus that are never available in an outdoor training program. The Pavilion itself is a wonderful space that provides protection from the seasonal elements, while allowing me to be completely surrounded by nature and all ‘her’ inspirational beauty.

If it weren’t for the ‘delicious pain’ of well worked muscles, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were at a Day Spa!

I have been attending Bellissima Fisica for over 2 years. When I started with Rita I wanted to solve a long term tennis elbow problem and was quite apprehensive regarding personal training. Rita worked carefully through a program with me that has totally resolved the elbow and has lead to long term exercise and physical fitness. We have 2 sessions each week and Rita has maintained a variable and interesting program that keeps me engaged. I would recommend  Bellissima Fisica as a fitness routine that has long term benefits.

Rita has been my personal trainer for nearly 6 years. This has been some record for me who has never survived a gym membership for more than 6 months! This would be in no small part due to Rita’s incredible patience, generosity, good humour and a tremendous work ethic. Rita is passionate about health, diet and fitness for all ages and runs a beautiful studio in peaceful surroundings that caters for both our physical and mental wellbeing.
