Peter Valabek
My name is Peter Valabek – the owner of MediGYM.
I have extensive experience and qualifications in health, fitness and rehabilitation. I am a level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach and hold a Certificate IV in fitness. I have studied rehabilitation and sports injury treatment using the Active Release Technique, including dry needling. I have also studied massage therapy and hold a Bachelor of Law degree from Slovakia.
I am passionate about strength and rehabilitation training. I originally started out in the Slovakian Special Police Force where I developed a passion for strength and fitness conditioning. I then moved to Australia and built an extensive personal training client base and pioneered the ‘Fertility Fit’ program for Sydney IVF. Over the last four years, in addition to fitness training, I developed and ran the Mosman Sports Injury Clinic.
I specialise in functional training which is important for mobility and flexibility; particularly in over 50’s and completely understand the changing needs of our bodies.
Niki Fort
My name is Niki Fort, I am a certified Personal Trainer with certificates III and IV.
I grew up in the Czech republic with a passionate interest in fitness and sport. This started at the age of 4 with gymnastics until I was 15 years old. From then I moved into fitness and bodybuilding for 5 years before becoming a personal trainer.
I moved to Australia in 2004 to learn English and continue my career as a personal trainer. I have extensive experience working with a range of clients from young athletes through to older clients wanting to keep fit, strong and flexible. Having studied nutrition and cooking, I enjoy combining my knowledge of this with fitness routines for clients who are looking to improve their lifestyle and potentially lose weight as well.
When I am not working, I am kept busy with my two kids and my tennis coach husband and I enjoy cooking traditional Czech cuisine.
