Michelle Cummaudo: October 25 - Member of the Month

Congratulations to Michelle Cummaudo our October Member of the Month.


​Michelle has been a member of Key to Life for over 9 incredible years. This is an outstanding achievement and shows her dedication to leading a fit and healthy life as a busy mum.


Michelle has been a regular at all the 6am Outdoor Sessions and has recently included 6:30pm Box Blast to her routine.  She has participated in numerous fitness events over her many years including Stadium Stomp, Run for the Kids to name just a few including our regular KTL social functions.


It has been a joy training Michelle as she always comes ready to go and love a good banter and beating up the boys at boxing.  We love Michelle and her attitude towards a healthy lifestyle and getting the most out of her body.


In addition to her KTL sessions Michelle is now regularly running 30+ kms a week which is super impressive.


Well done MIchelle on being our October Member of the Month, you thoroughly deserve it.


Over to you Michelle:


1. What motivated you to start your health and fitness journey with Key to Life?


After having my two beautiful children, I found myself feeling disconnected from the person I use to be. I wanted to get fit, not just physically but mentally too. 9 years on I am still here!

 

2. What is it that keeps you attending your Key To Life session or sessions on a regular basis?


What keeps me coming back to my Key to Life sessions is the way they make me feel - strong, energized and fit. An added bonus is my fantastic trainer Rohan who inspires me and the wonderful friends I have made along the way. Never a dull moment with the 6am crew!


3. What is your favourite Key to Life Training session or favourite exercise and why?


That is a tough question. I love the heart pumping energy of the boxing sessions, they push me and energize me. But I also really value the body blitz sessions because they help me build the strength I need to support my running outside of my Key to Life sessions.

 

4. If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your favourite?


My favourite go to recipe would have to be the Protein bars with dark chocolate and coconut, both healthy & delicious.


5. What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key to Life?


My biggest accomplishment during my time at Key to Life has been coming back from a knee injury that kept me out for almost a year. It was a tough setback, but with the guidance, support and motivation from Key to Life I was able to rebuild my strength and confidence. I’ve participated in several running events, including a half marathon, which felt like a real milestone.


6. What advice would you give somebody just starting at Key to Life?


Start where you are, and trust the process. You don’t need to be fittest or fastest, you just need to show up.

Iron, Calcium & Key Nutrients Often Missed

Modern eating habits, busy schedules, and reduced outdoor time all contribute to nutrient gaps. The good news is that small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference.
Breathing for Calm: Simple Techniques to Reduce Stress
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
Breathing is a built‑in stress‑management system that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. When life becomes busy or overwhelming, breathing patterns often shift without us noticing—becoming shallow, fast, or irregular. This signals the body to stay alert, keeping the nervous system in a heightened state.
Rediscovering Movement: Exercise That Feels Good, Not Punishing
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
Many people grew up with fitness messages focused on intensity, discipline, and “earning” food. Over time, this can create an unhealthy relationship with exercise—one driven by guilt or pressure rather than enjoyment.
