Liv Patrick

Hi Northside Movement family!

From a very early age Liv had sport and exercise surrounding her. Her Mum and Dad were great advocates for Liv, in that, they would encourage Liv to sign up and have a go at any sport. Gymnastics, swimming, tennis, rowing, netball and basketball. It was engrained from school that exercise and team sports was the pivotal principle in looking after yourself both physically and mentally, while trying to navigate through school and teenage years. She still has close rowing and school friends to this day. 

However, once school and team sports had become harder to maintain due to university and travel life, Liv struggled to find her new exercise routine. After trying a couple of local gyms and left feeling unmotivated and no increase in strength or endurance, it was a Nursing colleague who asked if she wanted to do a Crossfit PT session with her. She very quickly fell in love with the Olympic lifting and the exercise endorphins, however, was too intimidated to join group sessions. Enter Pride Athletic. She joined Pride Athletic in 2014 when it was a women’s only Crossfit style gym and loved the environment that the owners at the time had created. 

However, it wasn’t until Mike and Nat bustled their way into Pride Athletic where it all changed for the better for Liv. 

Their wealth of knowledge, pure passion, excitement and experience put together is what drove Liv to pursue a career change. Liv hasn’t completely put the tools down for peri-operative nursing, but when she’s not cutting people up, *cough cough*, you can find her in one of the group classes, having a chat and finding out the best coffee haunts from members. 

Even though she’s just started her career in Personal Training, Liv prides herself on aiming to achieve what Mike and Nat did when she was a member; come away from every session feeling strong, resilient, motivated and feeling better than when she came in. Her passion is to ensure each member who comes to Northside Movement feels the same way.
