About Fran Philip

People have always been at the heart of my life. Across every industry I’ve worked in, it has never been the product that inspired me, but the people I met along the way. When I moved from Australia to the US, I was given the rare opportunity to shape my days around my passions, which naturally led me into health and fitness. It was a life-changing and deeply enriching adventure. Now that I’ve returned to Australia, I hope to share that journey and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I work with, both now and into the future.

I have been working in the health and fitness industry since 1997 and involved in sport and movement since the age of seven. My strengths developed through both water- and land-based group fitness, and over time I felt a strong calling to become a personal trainer. I am committed to continual learning and growth across mind, body, and spirit. I began Pilates training 22 years ago and have experienced firsthand the profound benefits it brings to health and wellbeing. Today, I teach and implement multiple disciplines and truly love sharing the joy and empowerment this work provides.

The Long Jetty Clinic features beautiful Balanced Body equipment, including Studio reformers with towers, CoreAligns, arc barrels, and more. Each piece is thoughtfully chosen to support high-quality, versatile movement and an exceptional client experience.

Outside the studio, I enjoy all types of group fitness classes, as well as hiking, pickleball, boogie boarding, and bowls. I love Italian food, travelling, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Above all, my greatest joy is simply connecting with people—especially anyone who’s up for a good chat.
