Alida is a busy mum of 3 kids who has an absolute love and respect for the human body. She has a love for movement, mobility and technique. Currently she is studying to become a personal trainer and cannot wait to get hands on at Eat Play Thrive. Her background is in sales and marketing, and until now she has always had an office job. Working in a studio is exactly where she feels she is supposed to be.

Apart from fitness Alida has a deep passion for food and loves creating, sharing and cooking any chance she can. Her recipes mainly consist of whole foods with minimal or no packaged ingredients. She has auditioned for Master Chef, but unfortunately did not make it through. Home made beauty products using nothing but natural household ingredients is also another one of her favourite past times.
