About Me
I am Vanessa B. Comarin, a fitness trainer and swimming instructor specialising in Antenatal (pre and postnatal).
I was born in Brazil and worked with my family for 21 years. From 5 years old I started competitive swimming and playing sport at school and then university. Later on I found my passion as a Duathlete (running and cycling). My first race was in 2011, and I have competed in several every year since.
When I moved to Australia, I worked as a chef before completing my fitness qualifications. I was 39 years old when my daughter Audrey was born, and then lots of things changed, such as my priorities, time and energy.
During my pregnancy I found it hard to workout, and that made me consider other women in the same position. I decided to pursue this passion for helping expecting mothers, and in 2021 I became a qualified antenatal coach. My goal is to be the pregnancy specialist in Adelaide, offering Aquapregnancy and workout classes for pre and postnatal.
As a coach, I've look after mums-to-be by motivating and showing them appropriate exercise. I love to connect with other mums, and create a welcoming environment by sharing information and experiences.
I know it is not easy to exercise if you are not fit or you don't like exercising when you are getting heavy, not sleeping well and having morning sickness. I can organise your workout plan to find the best exercises for all those problems.
Our Aquapregnancy class, in particular, is so much fun and can relieve the heaviness of your pregnant belly. My class includes important exercises for the mum-to-be and baby, and it is a great opportunity to make friends with other expecting mothers!
My Competitions
I never workout just for aesthetics. I like to have a goal and a plan to achieve it. With my competitions, I am very strategic and organised. I am also passionate about healthy eating and how this can paired with my training.
I won a trophy in many of my races and this motivated me to train harder. When I didn't win, I would workout more or change my strategy to get where I wanted. However, I know my limitations and what's best for me is not the best for everyone!
