🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT – Meet Corinna 🌟
At Health Culture, we believe every member has a story, and Corinna’s is one of resilience, determination and inspiration.
Corinna first joined Health Culture in 2014, returning in October 2022 after the COVID period, and she hasn’t looked back since. Many of our members know her for her colourful, funky workout pants and her positive attitude that lights up the gym.
Life has thrown Corinna more than her fair share of challenges. She has overcome an aortic dissection (heart attack) at just 47 years old, lives with arthritis, glaucoma, a hiatus hernia and flat foot, and recently received a pacemaker. Yet despite everything, she continues to show up with a smile and a determination to keep moving.
When Corinna first walked through our doors, she weighed 116kg. Through consistency, healthier choices and a commitment to improving her wellbeing, she has transformed her health, reducing her weight to around 75–78kg. More recently, by following a high-protein, lower-carbohydrate eating plan, she’s lost another 10–12kg and is now focused on building strength and muscle.
Corinna has embraced personal training, group fitness and especially enjoys Ben’s Functionality Class, which is perfect for older adults or anyone with mobility challenges because everyone can work at their own pace in a supportive environment.
Recently retired after a career spanning roles as a seamstress, accountant and caring for elderly and disabled Australians, Corinna brings the same compassion and resilience into everything she does.
Her message to everyone is simple:
“Keep turning up. Whether you’re young or old, skinny or overweight, your fitness journey isn’t about pleasing anyone else—it’s about becoming the healthiest, happiest version of yourself.”
Corinna, thank you for reminding us that strength isn’t just measured by the weight you lift—it’s measured by the challenges you overcome and the courage to keep showing up.
💚 We are incredibly proud to have you as part of the Health Culture family. Your journey continues to inspire us all. 💜
