I’ve been coaching for over 10 years and have coached hundreds of women, I created Ladies That Lift aka LTL, to inspire you, a generation of women who are sick of yo-yo diets and want results that last!
We know you – you want to be able to wake up in the morning energized, you want to be able to go to the gym with confidence, you want to wear shorts in summer with freedom, you want to be able to eat food without regret, guilt, or shame. We hear you.
Training has been the one consistent thing in my life, from 14, to now, through high school, university, lockdowns, and breakups, training has supported my mental health and resiliency in more ways than one. And the physical benefits of lifting heavy things often are a by-product of consistency, even when I don’t have the ‘motivation’.
We work with all fitness levels (from no experience to athletes) and will push you out of your comfort zone when necessary, after all, you don’t get the body of your dreams by sitting on it and scrolling social media.
We can’t wait to meet you!

her very own podcast The Female
Health Show
Hi! I work closely with clients 1 on 1 to provide a personal and detailed experience. I have had the pleasure of coaching clients to photoshoots and am currently working on preparing a few clients to compete in Powerlifting competitions. I am honoured to have learnt under, Raquel Ramirez, Mark Ottobre, and Gus Cooke.
My knowledge of health and fitness doesn’t only apply to the gym, it includes nutrition, lifestyle, and breaking unhealthy habits! I aim for every woman I coach to experience a full lifestyle change that will apply to all aspects of their life!
Every day I get to work 1 on 1 with all my clients, as well as getting to know each of them on a personal basis. This is a vital aspect of my coaching, enabling me to connect with my girls on a deeper level.
The reward of changing someone’s life is immeasurable and I cannot wait to continue making great impacts and transformations in many other females’ lives!
Coaching my clients to see results and view themselves in a positive light inspires me, to continue pushing myself and my clients to become the best version of themselves.
I firmly believe that the journey is just as important if not more important than the end goal and by guiding my clients through their journey, I feel empowered to continue pushing myself both personally and professionally.
I am honoured to be a coach for ladies that lift, learning from Raquel herself everyday!
What makes me excited about being a PT is the opportunity to help people on their health and fitness journey.
Seeing my clients face when they lift something they didn’t think they could is so rewarding and how much healthier and happier they feel as we go along together makes me proud to be a personal trainer.
Something I wish more people understood is not to rely on motivation. Through hard times, motivation doesn’t work. Focus on being disciplined, staying consistent, and remembering your why.
I am so grateful to be part of the Ladies That Lift team and all the amazing things we get to do together – it’s a very special community we have.
Raquel started as an aerobic instructor in Group Fitness, specifically teaching Les Mills all whilst studying her Bachelor of Health Science. The inspiration was her mother (pictured back right) she had been attending her mothers group classes from the age of 15 years old and watching her mum have so much fun, all whilst working up a sweat inspired Raquel.
Raquel decided to compete in her first ICN competitions, in the Bikini and sports model category – Raquel placed multiple times and formally got her certificate 4 in fitness this year too.

In Early 2019, Raquel needed something different, after competing in Bikini Modelling she needed a new why. She wanted to lift heavy and compete in Powerlifting. Toying with the idea of starting her own business and moving on from group fitness is where Raquel Fit PT was born.
In 2019, Raquel went to many mentoring programs held by Mark Ottobre from Enterprise Fitness and in 2020 she received the Alpha of the Year Award with Mark’s Wolfpack mentor group.
In 2021, the Global Pandemic had put a very different spin on fitness for the world. Raquel was featured in The Herald Sun talking about Lockdowns and Body Image and through this period created her own Podcast, The Female Health Show to inspire others and herself during a hard time.
In 2022, Raquel had grown a lot, her community and her services were inundated! She needed another pair of hands on deck (Hello Kiara!) and this inspired Raquel to hire a team to help her reach more women in her community that needed what she was teaching to her clientele AND rebrand to Ladies That Lift.
To sum up this year – lots of photoshoots, and powerlifting competitions!
We moved to a new facility and a growing demand of our services we added a new coach to the team, Nikoletta! Photoshoots, powerlifting competitions, internships and community bonding has seen us create a phenomenal female-led space.
We love our ladies and when the community is together there is a magic about us. We are a place for women by women, that are growing to be confident women, independent gym girlies, mums-to-be, mums of 4 or just trying to find themselves again after a long time of never prioritizing themselves.
