Alana Warwick

FOUNDER
HEAD TRAINER & PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Alana is the founder of SONDR and leads with a grounded approach to movement, strength and personal transformation. Originally from Shepparton, she began her fitness journey here before spending several years in Melbourne, where she competed at the highest levels of bodybuilding — both nationally and internationally.
With over a decade of experience in the fitness industry, Alana brings not only a wealth of technical knowledge, but a deep passion for helping people feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies. Her coaching blends the discipline of structured strength training with the mindfulness and precision of Pilates; always tailored to meet the individual where they’re at.
She believes that every body has a story and strength should support it, not define it.
