I specialize in Fitness Over 50! After 20 years of fitness experience and 16 years owning my own Personal Training gym, one thing I’ve learned is how to use biomechanics and science to get the greatest workout in the shortest period of time, while striving to improve function and decrease injuries, both in and out of the gym.

Selina got me in the best shape of my life! She asked how the first workout had felt - I said it was a tad too easy. Wham! From then on it was boot camp!

I joined Fusion Fitness September 2015 and I have loved every minute that I am working out with Salina, whether that being body combat, body pump or group training. I have always been a member of a gym and had a personal trainer, so I assumed my "form" was not a problem. Salina has been so good in perfecting my form and making sure I am being safe and not causing or increasing injuries. She definitely knows her stuff!! Since seeing Salina I have definitely notice a change in my body and in my strength, especially my core. Thank you Salina! I am definitely going to miss you and your classes when I move back to Australia. More...

Selina is a rock star! My good friend invited me to her Body Pump class and I was hooked! Next month will be 2 years that I made her Body Pump and Body Combat classes my weekly priority. I've lost over 35lbs and feel strong and more confident. Selina is a true expert, her group classes motivate me to work harder than I would on my own, and her guidance on form and breathing always help me maximize each move. Thank you Selina for being an amazing teacher, you helped me transform my post-twin body to the fittest version of myself yet, I am eternally grateful! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I approach each workout with a biomechanical perspective and I look to build the body starting with the CORE so are to build strength and joint stability together. This helps to prevent injuries.
I use my over twenty years of knowledge to design sound programs that maximize results and minimize injury and I support my clients by being there for them when things either get off track or go wrong.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Commitment
Strength Training
Good Nutrition
Cardio
Support
Guidance
Consistency over time
What do you love most about your job?
I am so grateful to have such a profound impact on peoples' lives. I know the quality of life for someone in their fifties, sixties or seventies changes 100% when their bodies function well. Training with me allows people to function better so the everyday examples my clients bring me of how our training improves their lives and how they hear my voice, i.e. Shoulders, back and down, Tummy in, chin tucked--how elements of good posture live with them all the time. This makes a 70 year old feel 50 or 60 again. Allowing the mature population to make the most of their body at any age and really seeing it in application is the best feeling ever. The profound impact of fitness on peoples' lives and the lasting impact I make!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was a fat, unhealthy network engineer that had grown up a totally unathletic book worm and when I quit smoking at age 26, I got even fatter and desperate. Several months later I hired a trainer and the rest is history. The next 3 years changed my life.
I left my job as a network engineer because I really wanted to help people. I was inspired to help others learn the secrets of the gym that this couch potato learned and knew that if I could do it, anyone could.
My business is part of my community and consist of clients that I've brought together over 20 years and is the lifeblood of the gym. Having my own gym allows me to have a culture of connection, support, hard work and integrity and people I really enjoy working with. My business is my heart!
Why should our clients choose you?
I am passionate about helping people learn the secrets of the gym. So many programs lack in proper coaching, proper instruction to really learn the exercises so you can get the most from the workouts, in the most efficient way. Why waste time in the gym or at home? Do it with me and do it right! Think of me as the general contractor for your body. Hire the wrong contractor and the job is done wrong and/or not well thought out. The thing is, this is your body! You can't afford to do it wrong and who has time to waste doing extra just to get the same results of well designed training program from an experienced professional with over 20 year of proven results.
