Vivienne Rounsley

Vivienne has been in the fitness industry for over 10 years, since leaving the corporate world behind her and embarking on a career in personal training. Finding a balance between work, life and family is very important to her, as having 2 children, she knows how difficult it is to balance everything at once. Vivienne found herself being drawn to people in similar circumstances, where she can help to restore some balance into their lives through coaching in health, lifestyle and fitness. Focussing on intrinsic core, pre and post-natal, pelvic floor health and diastasis healing through functional exercise and nutrition, Vivienne has helped many women achieve their goals and lose their Mummy tummies, long after baby has grown up! With a kid’s fitness qualification to boot, kids can join in too! Using functional exercises and breathing techniques that have been perfected and proved, Vivienne is able to work with women that are both pregnant, post-natal, those ladies falling into the CRIHAB category (Can’t Remember Having a Baby) and also pre and post-menopausal ladies. Having always been into fitness, Vivienne recently made the change from gym weights and running to CrossFit at Priority 6, which has given her an insight even more into how strong your core needs to be to master many of the CrossFit techniques, as well as just returning to fitness. The deep core functional exercises and release methods have helped a number of people a Priority 6 with intrinsic core strength.

My turning point came when I became a mum. Despite being in the fitness industry, I was overwhelmed by how much my body had changed, and how little support there was for real recovery. I didn’t just want to “bounce back”; I wanted to feel whole again. But what I found instead was a world of quick fixes and surface-level solutions that didn’t address what was really going on, deep core weakness, pelvic floor issues, and a complete loss of connection with my own body. The enemy? Unrealistic expectations placed on women, especially mothers. The pressure to look, act, and train a certain way, while juggling the demands of motherhood, work, and life. It’s a silent struggle many women face, often alone. That experience shifted everything for me. I knew I wasn’t the only one, and I became driven to change the narrative. I retrained, studied, and specialised in intrinsic core, pre and post-natal recovery, and women’s health, so that no woman would have to navigate that journey in the dark like I did. Now, I coach women through every stage of life, from new mums to those who “can’t remember having a baby”, helping them rebuild strength from the inside out. Because when you reconnect with your body, everything else gets stronger too.

My purpose for coaching is to help women feel strong, confident, and in control of their bodies, especially during the life stages when they’re often told to settle for less. I’m passionate about supporting women through pregnancy, post-natal recovery, and into midlife and beyond, because I understand the challenges that come with balancing family, work, and self-care. I coach women who are done with quick fixes and want to build true, lasting strength, from the inside out. Whether you’re healing your core, rebuilding after birth, managing menopause, or just wanting to feel good in your own skin again, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My motivation comes from lived experience, and from every woman who’s ever felt like her body let her down. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from yourself, and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when women reclaim their health and strength. Coaching gives me the opportunity to create that transformation every day, and there’s nothing more rewarding.
