Alanna Chatfield

 Alanna grew up in the pool, swimming club level all the way to state and national level competition. She learnt to swim with well known Teacher and Trainer Chris Delitt, and later trained under Don Watson-Brown. She later spent a couple of years teaching learn to swim before life took her somewhere completely different: law.

After several years working in law, Alanna made the switch into the fitness industry, where she’s now spent the last 8 years as a personal trainer and coach. She runs Alanna Conn Coaching on the Sunshine Coast, working with clients in person, online and through mentoring other PTs.

Alanna knows what it feels like to run on empty. Having navigated chronic fatigue herself, she’s a firm believer that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and it’s something she brings into how she coaches.

With her clients, Alanna’s message is the same no matter what they do for work: you don’t have to be an athlete to train and fuel like one. Most people are running on empty by the end of the day without realising it, and the body doesn’t know the difference between exhaustion from a workout, a worksite or a long day on your feet. She helps people back these habits with training that actually holds up under pressure, so the body and mind can keep showing up.
