Powerhouse Personal Training is run by Gina Richter, certified Pilates instructor with the Australian Pilates Method Association (APMA) in Australia and ‘Romana’s Pilates’ in the USA.
Gina’s interest in bodywork started when she studied dance as a child. At 18 she began practising Iyengar yoga and in 1986 became one of the first Iyengar yoga teachers to be certified by BKS Iyengar in Australia.
Gina taught Iyengar yoga for 10 years at the Balmain Yoga Studio, one of the first yoga studios in Sydney, before discovering the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning.
Gina studied Authentic Pilates in Sydney with former New York City Ballet dancer, Cynthia Lochard. She also studied in New York with Romana Kryzanowska. Now in her 80s, Romana is one of Joseph Pilates original protégés.
Gina attained her US certification in 1998.
Gina has also studied injury rehabilitation and core conditioning using the Swiss Ball with Paul Chek, American exercise therapist.
She is a Level 1 Chek Practitioner.
Gina runs small classes in a non-competitive exercise environment. Her wide range of experience in a variety of exercise modalities enables her to tailor exercise programs specifically to her clients’ needs – from the injured to the super fit.
