Hey, welcome to Fossa!

We help people optimise their health and fitness using evidence-based behaviour change methods. We offer personal training in our Blackburn Nth home studio, as well as online fitness coaching and nutrition coaching.

We believe that living a healthy lifestyle isn't just about what you eat or how you exercise, it has a lot to do with how you think and how you manage stress. But this is something none of us are taught!

We believe in making a healthy lifestyle simple and doable for you, no matter how busy you are and no matter how stressful life feels.

We are particularly passionate about behaviour change, sustainable eating habits, and stress management. We help people change their behaviour in a way that feels good.

We believe there is nothing you have to do, and you should always get a choice in what "healthy" looks like for you.

I'm Aaron Kuszla

Hi, I'm Aaron! I am a Personal Trainer and a Precision Nutrition Level 1 & 2 certified Nutrition Coach and have been working in the health and fitness industry for over 10 years.

I'm particularly passionate about helping people implement sustainable nutrition & fitness habits, along with simple lifestyle shifts, so they can reach their goals while still enjoying their life.

When I'm not coaching, I enjoy strength training in my garage gym, tending to my balcony veggie garden, and spending time with my dog Kira.

Why Fossa?

A Fossa is a cute (but fierce) mammal native to Madagascar. The Fossa eats Lemurs, which are known as the “ghosts of the forest” due to their nocturnal activity and reflective eyes (and the word lemur is derived from the Latin word for “spirit”). So the Fossa is essentially a ghost hunter!

How does this relate to health and fitness? According to psychology, we all have a “shadow self” which represents the side of us that is subconscious and often responsible for our unhelpful habits and patterns (you know, those times when you choose the couch over the workout, or that extra slice of pizza you know you don't need...) The Fossa represents the process of working through ("hunting") those unwanted habits and replacing them with new healthier habits that serve us better, so we can take back control and live our best life.

In case you were wondering, this is a Fossa!
