Renee Hamersley
Educator
Renée has been a dynamo in the world of movement since 2004, bringing a wealth of experience from her junior elite sports training days that began in 1993. With over 20 years of coaching and thousands of hours under her belt, she has an uncanny knack for understanding how bodies move.
Renée’s passion for Pilates, which she has studied since 1998, infuses every yoga and movement session she leads. She began her Clinical Pilates journey with Polestar Pilates in 2005 and joined their Education Team in 2013, teaching Mat and Reformer courses to aspiring instructors.
Education is a big deal for Renée. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce, a Diploma of Pilates, a Certificate IV Master Personal Trainer, and a Certificate IV Training & Assessment. She’s also a Vinyasa Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and has studied Human Movement at the University of WA along with other movement courses like TRX, Power Plate, and Xtend Barre. In 2023, she added Kids Yoga Teacher Training to her impressive resume.
Renée has worked with some of Australia’s top athletes, focusing on recovery, mobility, flexibility, and strength training. Her collaborations include teams like Perth Glory (soccer), Western Warriors/Scorchers (cricket), and Perth Wildcats (basketball).
She also offers private sessions, VIP events at Perth’s top hotels, and wellness presentations. As a mother of two, Renée is passionate about helping women maintain strength during pregnancy and motherhood through personalized programs.
Renée mentors Polestar Pilates student teachers, consults with private clients, and runs her home studio in Cottesloe, WA. Her attention to detail and professionalism make every session she leads a standout.
