Meet The Team

Michela, our founder, brings over a decade of experience and a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science to the field of personal training. With a specialization in human movement, posture, and strength and conditioning, she dedicated to crafting personalized fitness journeys that meet the unique needs each client. Originally from Italy, Michela transitioned to Australia over 15 years ago, building on her as a former Italian ski youth champion to establish her business in the Essendon area. Outside of her professional life, Michela enjoys beach volleyball and painting, reflecting her active lifestyle and love for creativity. Whether she's on the sand or creating art, she embraces the joy of staying fit and sharing her passion with friends and family.

Marshall brings a strong passion for strength and conditioning to his role at MP Fitness, built over 5 years coaching within soccer — including running a High Performance Program in the NPLW.

His focus is developing athletes' strength, power, and physical resilience, helping them move and perform better while staying injury-free — a drive that comes from his own love of sport and curiosity about getting the best out of the body.

Marshall works with anyone bringing a positive attitude, young or old — he doesn't believe there's an age where progress stops. He's helped players go on to represent youth state teams, sign A-League contracts, and play professionally overseas.

Outside of coaching, he stays active himself: soccer, the gym, and long-distance running, with 8 marathons and several ultra runs completed.
