Services
Nikki is passionate about transformig bodies and lifestyles. She knows ony too well that the skills you gain, and habits you form to get in great shape cross over to every other aspect of your life. Discipline, consistency, patience, hard work, goal setting - all of these things help to make us more focused and successful.
Cinch is a boutique private group and personal training studio situated directly opposite La Trobe Secondary College (and next to Nice Guy Eddie Gelato!). Our trainers are all tertiary qualified in Human Movement or Exercise Science. Although we are a diverse team with different areas of interest - ranging from pelvic floor strength to improving your golf swing - we have one thing in common.
Run in ten week blocks in line with the school terms, Train with Cinchy is for you if you are committed to being your best. If you don't want to live in the gym and your preference is for a science driven, results based approach to training and eating optimally - this is for you. It is also for you if you hate burpees.
Most sessions in a gym are a sort of circuit, however to be more specific - it is not circuit style in that there is no timer and we are not competing against the clock or working to time. Our programs are set on sets and repetitions (periodised across a ten week block) and essentially you work at your own speed - so the vibe is relaxed and supportive - we aren't going to shout "go faster"at you any time soon.

Nikki is a true champion for women. She always positively motivates and gently encourages me to push my limits even when it’s 6am. Her studio celebrates inner happiness, strength, fitness and health over vanity and aesthetics. I look forward to the friendly chats with other members and always feel like I’m a true part of the Cinchy family.

I love this studio. Nikki is the best in the business, she truly is an amazing transformational PT - and is with you each step of the way.
I am that person who struggles to exercise, and joined Nikki through Melbourne's 2nd Lockdown, online. She was a lifeline, and foundationally , helped me to sustain exercise as an integral part of my life. I love her studio, the tribe of people, and love the flexibly of being able to do stream live into a class if I am stuck for time, as I run a small business from home.

I joined Nikki and the Cinch PT team a few months back when I saw them open in our local area. I'd been using COVID as an excuse not to look after myself and was suffering physically and mentally. Some of the first words Nikki said to me were "you just need to start moving" from there I have felt fully supported and encouraged in my strength training. There are flexible options in terms of times available, morning, evening and live stream. Nikki has wonderful connections in the community from physios to myotherapy experts all of whom I have used to rehab an old injury. Nikki offers online tools

I joined this gym last year about 2 months before lockdown happened in 2020. Nikki is the most caring and generous trainer I've ever known. I was struggling with motivation during lockdown and she started running Saturday afternoon stretch/yoga zoom classes just to help myself and a few others find our groove again. She would lend people gear over lockdown so they would keep training. She wants you to succeed and is invested in you. She looks you in the eye and is always thinking strategically about how to help you most effectively.
This is the most positive gym I've ever worked out at. No one

Nikki is amazing! So much more than an awesome personal trainer, more whole life trainer, food, keeping active, training and more. And not just focused progressive strength training but also the spin sessions based on real races. The studio is so well thought out and planned to make the best of every session, and not just functional but also looks great.

Nikki Ellis is the best trainer in the business. The studio itself is a beautiful boutique space and the vibe is friendly and relaxed but results focused. Training at Cinch is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, if you’re looking for a sign to join this is it! 😻
