Celebrating mums

Felicity ‘Flick’ Ryan is FlickPT’s owner and an Ocean Grove local.

Flick is known as one of the most respected fitness trainers in the Bellarine region. FlickPT is one of the longest running fitness businesses in Ocean Grove, coming up to its 14th year this October.

Flick is six-months pregnant and mum to a two-and-a-half year-old and like all parents she knows how challenging it is to juggle work, exercise, kids and life.

“Mums carry a huge mental load and exercise, vitamin D and fresh air can help them face the juggle that lies ahead daily,” she says.

“Being active is not only great for its physical aspects but it can also help support the mental and emotional health as a parent.”

Although Flick’s outdoor and indoor sessions aren’t just solely mum-focused, she has a passion for helping women. All of Flick’s classes in Ocean Grove are child friendly and range from bootcamp, intervals, strength, stairs, and pre and post natal classes.

“At FlickPT we aren’t numbers based, our aim is for us to help you to create a sustainable lifestyle that can involve bringing your kids,” Flick says.

“We are about creating an environment that’s warm and welcoming whilst being able to show your children that movement is fun, normal and important.”

Flick not only has the experience of working with mothers, she also has an array of qualifications to support her clients. A qualified and insured PT with an Outdoor Bootcamp Accreditation, a Safe Return to Exercise + Running Coach, Women’s Health and Performance Coach, Exercising after COVID-19 cert, a Thump Boxing Coach and more.

To help celebrate and honor all the mums in our community Flick is offering a free outdoor session at Ocean Grove foreshore rotunda on Saturday May 13 at 8.30am.

“This is my time to give back to all the mums who have supported me over the years – it’s the least I can do for them to celebrate Mother’s Day 2023,” she says.

This class is open to any mum. Mums of babies, older mums, stepmums, single mums, godmums, women longing to be a mum, bereaved mums, mums of fur babies, dads who play the role of a mum – all welcome.

Bookings can be made via email info@flickpt.com.au or the FlickPT Facebook page.
