Rebecca Mitchem
  • Greatest challenge: Leading a balanced lifestyle

  • Favourite time of the week: Having all my family together at the same time (husband, 2 daughter, 2 sons)

  • Top 5 favourite books: 'The great & secret show', 'about a boy', 'Tuesdays with Morrie', 'The Da Vinci Code', 'The Alchemist'

  • Strongest feature: Compassion and perseverance

Rebecca is a mother of four who divides her time between her two passions, Pilates and being the best mum she can be.

After gaining weight during her first pregnancy and sustaining a serious shoulder injury at work, Rebecca endeavoured to make some serious lifestyle changes. She educated herself about healthy eating and lost more than 40kg. The search was then on for a gentle yet effective exercise program that would care for her shoulder injury.

Rebecca gave Pilates a go and has never looked back. Several years later, she is completely pain free and has a new appreciation for what it means to be strong, fit and healthy.
