Meet the Viva Life team and hear our story!

Viva Life was created by Clinical Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer Karen Andrea.

Viva Life began in Karen’s humble home studio in 2011, and has since grown into the beautiful boutique Pilates and Fitness studios that stands today.

Karen has always had a strong passion for holistic wellness & helping others to embrace movement through the power of Pilates.

Her dream was to provide beautiful wellness studios to the community and to create a space for people from all walks of life, to feel welcomed, encouraged and inspired through their movement journey.

With two studios now, located in Diamond Creek and Yarrambat, she continues to spread the Viva Life Magic with the support of her wonderful Team.

Our vision is to create a unique, beautiful, welcoming space, which encapsulates total health and wellness.

Our intention is to guide and empower, in order for our clients to achieve a state of optimal health and wellbeing.

Karen - Founder

Hello Karen here…

As long as I can remember, I have always loved working with people and bringing people together.

After having my 1st son in 2008, it was from my own experiences of a challenging pre & post-natal journey that I found my love for movement - first through fitness and then came Pilates.

Over the years, I worked in gyms that didn’t have a nurturing feeling, I met many women that lacked confidence in the mainstream gym environment, and after experiencing this myself, I went on a mission to create an all-inclusive space where people felt instantly welcomed, comfortable and nurtured on their movement journey.

In 2011 Viva Life was then born and as the years went on our team grew, so did our love and passion for what we do.

Viva Life is everything I dreamt of & more. My vision was to create a space where every body’s need were met. A place where quality movement was made. Where barriers were let go, confidence was built & friendships formed. A place that encourages, inspires & educates daily.

Viva is referred to by many as their ‘Happy Place’, when you walk through the doors you are greeted with a smile, your instructor is their to support and guide you. All you need to do is show up and the rest is taken care of. We believe you never stop learning with Pilates & continue to expand our clients knowledge with each class.

We specialise in both clinical & modern Pilates, working with a range of clientele from ages 13 - 85 years old, pre and post-natal clients.

Whatever your bodies story is we can help you and its never to late to start.
