Listen Later

In this episode Jen sit's down with Michelle Wright (Mish) to talk about how far the landscape of pre and postnatal exercise has come, when they first met and how much we still need to get done.

After a decade of teaching, Mish started her second career as a Group Fit Instructor and Personal Trainer. Mish is the founder of the multi-award-winning fitness business franchise mishfit®, which specialised in training women.

For over 15 years Mish has been writing, presenting, educating, and mentoring fitness professionals in business, women’s health and training older adults. Mish created the Women’s Health and Fitness Summit (2014 – 2019) that brought together Fit Pro’s and Allied Health professionals to start relationships and conversations that are still resonating today.

All education that fitness professionals undertake is based on the research of young fit men. Mish is passionate about educating everyone in the fitness industry in what she calls the “missing education” of women’s health. Mish has created EVEolution™ an online program to help women navigate exercise – no matter what age or stage they are at.

In 2021, Mish was awarded the AUSactive (formerly Fitness Australia) Educator of the Year award. And in 2022 was finalist for NZ Educator of the Year.

Mish is a kiwi but lives with her husband and their two pussycats in Melbourne on the land of the Wurundgeri people, Australia.
