Hanna Wilson was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. This means she is confined to a wheelchair and has a number of complex medical issues to consider.

She grew up on a farm with a wonderful family who kept her active and helped her become very independent. She was taught to “go for it” and that there were no limits to what she could achieve. As a result she enjoyed sport and initially competed in swimming competitions which saw her compete in both Australia and England.

She was unsure which direction she wanted to take with respect to a career and completed courses in Call Centre work, Childcare and Health and Beauty.

As time went on she also took an active interest in health and fitness, and participated in a programme called “Wheels in Motion” at the Spina Bifida Association. This lesson was facilitated by Healthy Living Fitness. As a result of her passion and strong abilities in the fitness area, she was awarded a $7000 scholarship to learn to become a fitness instructor.

This was a dream come true for Hanna and she worked hard at the course and was successful in attaining her qualifications.

Since then she has been assisting the homeless and those that
are unable to afford a fitness instructor and yet are most needy. She has a big heart and a passion for helping others and is looking forward to motivating and assisting others in the pursuit of their fitness goals and dreams.
