Sharp Fitness

Sharp Fitness was established in 1987 by Phillip Sharp, specialising in personal fitness training and group exercise classes. Phillip started like most instructors of the 80's - as a gym aerobic instructor (oh the lycra!!). Fortunately Phillip's career progressed, training many clients in gyms throughout the southern suburbs of Sydney. A highlight of Phillip's career was running the Human Performa

nce Laboratory at the University of NSW for over 5 years. Over the years Phillip has trained people from all walks of life - elite level athletes, people recovering from cardiac surgery, sporting teams, police, the blind, the disabled, the elderly, the fit, unfit and everyone in between! Phillip now has a major focus on personal training and small group training for older adults, both of which he finds extremely rewarding. Melissa started in the fitness industry in the southern suburbs of Sydney, working as a fitness instructor, aerobics instructor and personal trainer in the late 1990's. Melissa's career involved training females of all ages and fitness levels - young women, mothers and the elderly, providing strength and fitness programs with an emphasis on fat loss and weight control. Melissa was also involved in local primary school aerobics programs. After leaving the industry to raise Phillip and Melissa's children, she completed her certification in Beauty Therapy. She continued along this path for several years, eventually finding her way back to her love of fitness and healthy lifestyle. Melissa re-joined Sharp Fitness in 2013, and is focusing her expertise on beginner and small group training.
