My name is Lesley Winder and I started Built Different to give people a safe place to build confidence, a strong body and a healthy mind without having to change or sacrifice who they are and what they really want.

I never wanted to train for a bigger bum I wanted bigger shoulders and arms. I wanted an athletic look, I wanted pull ups, push ups and a strong body I could be proud of, one that suited me and who I was. No personal trainer at the time was doing this to my knowledge and I felt like my goals were just so different.

It doesn’t matter what your personal goals are, whether its to be more confident with a partner, to be happier when you see yourself in the gym or just out of the shower, to smash out pull-ups because you’ve never dreamed of being good enough to do one before……

You need 3 things to be successful
A community / support network - a safe place to train well, find solutions to problems, overcome hurdles that have caused you to stop before, attend social events and get outside your comfort zone and to give back to others and feel like a resource to other members ( We all bring something to the table…you will too)

A plan - for the gym and for life, to get things done you never did before or always put off, to develop a routine around your life so you can adapt it around your lifestyle and maintain the robust human you’ve become in all areas of your life. A plan designed alongside a coach who won’t let you quit.

A weekly debrief - Check ins are tick box exercises that don’t give us much to go on…a debrief of your week allows us to see what aspects of your training and health need attention and what areas you’ve been excelling in. Sharing wins and having an open space to find solutions or use other resources in the team can make your life so much easier and make even the hardest of challenges become doable. The debrief is more about being heard than it is about ticking a box, that allows us to face the problems we need to and get the results we want.

I’ve been working on this for over 8 years and I’m proud of every client, friend and mentor who has had belief in me, allowing me to build this into what it is today…..it will keep growing and I hope you can be a part of it.
