About Fran Philip

My life has always revolved around people. No matter what industry, it was not the product that inspired me but the people I came into contact with. When arriving in the US from Australia, I found myself in a unique situation where I could fill my days with whatever passion I chose, and I gravitated toward health and fitness. It was a life changing and wondrous adventure. I hope to share this journey with those that I come into contact and aspire to make a difference to their present and future living. 

I have been working in the health and fitness industry since 1997. Yet, I have been involved in sport and fitness since the age of 7. I have found my strengths lie in water and land group fitness teaching but could not ignore the calling to become a personal trainer. I strive to continue learning, developing and growing in all areas of mind, body and spirit. I began Pilates Mat twenty years ago and have loved what it has done for my health and well being. Now I am teaching multiple disciplines and love to share the joy this work brings. 

I find myself loving every type of group fitness class imaginable also hiking, pickleball, boogie boarding, and golf. I love anything Italian, traveling, cooking, family and friends. But, my true joy in life is to search out and find anyone willing to have a chat.
