Ana Coppola

A human. A woman. A choice.

To live. To fly. To begin again. To try.

A deep breath. A small step. A voice.

Am I Enough?

It’s heavy. It’s painful. It is everywhere.
It pushes me to ways I would never dare.
It’s fiery. It’s tiring. It makes me forget.

That I’m here.
That I’ve grown.
That I have paid my debt.

I’m trying.
I’m chasing...
But I, too, need a rest.

No more pressure.
No more punishment.
Give me honesty and care.

A feeling.
A question.
A never-ending threat.

As seen on

I’ve learned that discipline isn’t always about rigid rituals. It’s about self-respect, and that looks different every day. Some mornings it’s movement, sometimes stillness, sometimes a strong coffee and ten minutes staring out the window before I even think about work. That’s probably not the answer people expect from a personal trainer, but I think at this stage of life, it’s more important to be honest than impressive.

WNiF - What's New In Fitness Australia

In an attempt to achieve the 'holy grail' of a sculpted six-pack, many people focus obsessively on the superficial muscles of the core, completing vast amounts of sit ups and crunches. While there is nothing wrong with these exercises, overuse can contribute to poor posture and muscle imbalances.

My first published fitness article. I was young, nervous, and still learning how to trust my voice, but I submitted my work anyway. This was the beginning of being seen for my expertise.

The Birthday I Spent in the Gladiators Arena

If I looked ahead and tried to see my 40th birthday when I was young, I would never have imagined my life today.

The training experiences I had. The anguish. The friends I made.

The happiness of being able to transfer what I know, and learn from what I teach.
