MAKING ADIFFERENCE TO
The bold caption above is the mission statement of the newest gym in town, E3 Training,
estabilished and locally owned by Cilla Anderson, who has been in the fitness industry for
over four years. From launching outdoor 8week boot camps in September 2019, E3
Training grew significantly and now have their very own HQ.
Cilla has battled with her weight her whole life but was still very competitive in team sports
and had her fair share of injuries including three ACL reconstructions tothe left knee. Not
only did she battle injuries but also an eating disorder (bulimia) from the age of 16, and
although she is free from this disease, she still fights the mental battles associated with it.
“I want to break discrimination in the fitness industry and prove fitness and strength is
more than being skinny and low %body fat. Fitness comes in all shapes and sizes and at
no point should people feel too intimidated to walk into agym because they feel they need
to be something they’re not. That’s what makes usdifferent. As trainers we’re all very
different in sizes, strengths and weaknesses with abackground we had to work for to be
where weare today.”she said.
Working part time at Canterbury Chiropractor as areceptionist keeps Cilla on her toes,
“it has given me the opportunity tolearn much more about the body and especially with
injuries and rehabilitation exercise”, she said, “Our classes are fully coached where we can
adjust exercises to suit injuries or physical ability to ensure everyone is included and can
still attend our classes no matter their limitations. Our clients know we will give them the
motivation to push past their boundaries if they want it, and those that just want to come
join in to move their body, or be apart of asocial environment, are just as welcome.”
“We just want to help people move
their body and learn about fitness
and the correct movements to help
prevent injuries and build a good
solid base of stability, strength and
cardiovascular fitness to ensure a
healthy and positive future.”
