First things first...
I am a women’s health and performance coach, a mother to Alfie, podcast host, obsessed with all things that encompass movement, an introvert, an enneagram 2, a wife, a gym rat and book worm. I live for coffee and book in bed on a Sunday, geeking out about all things training and mindset, and can watch Paris Goblel’s dance crew all day.
I currently live in South Korea but work with women all over the world.

Hey, you! I am Olivia behind
Olivia Park Coaching.
HEALTH & FITNESS SHOULD BE NOT DETERMINED BY A PHYSICAL IMAGE
After many years of working with people in person 1:1, small group and coaching CrossFit, starting in Auckland, New Zealand then 4.5 years in Taipei, Taiwan, I shifted my business online in 2019 so that I could educate and reach more women. I wholeheartedly believe that in order to be a good online coach, years spent working with a range of different people with different backgrounds, personalities and desires is essential.
Now, I work online with women 1:1 and through Grit and Grace, my strength and conditioning program.
Although most of my adult years have been tied up in competitive sport with bodybuilding then CrossFit (winning Fittest in Taiwan in 2018), I’ve had my own battles with making my way through the noise of the fitness industry.
From an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise, resulting in a host of hormonal battles, there have been many dark days figuring out what is best for me and my body.
But through these struggles and learnings, and what I have learnt from my own coaches and mentors, I am here to help you find your own path within the chaos of the health and fitness space. I saw the need to serve active women who were either being told to slow down and do yoga or that they’re not doing enough. There is so much in between. We can workout hard in a way that is honouring the self and making progress. This is two fold: working OUT through modulating intensity and working IN through setting intentions.
But above all, we do not need to conform to any kind of box. We can make our own rules when it comes to we decide to show up in the world.
Intent, knowledge, and autonomy are at the Core of Olivia Park Coaching. There is no single journey that is the same. Educating and guiding intentions are the building blocks for creating full autonomy so that you can finally find freedom in your body and mind. I am constantly investing in myself with education to stay up to date and continue learning to bring the best to my clients, whether this is with training, nutrition and mindset.

When I’m not coaching my clients, creating content or building training programs, I’m walking, fitnessing, learning from courses, podcasts and books and spending time with my journalist husband and my son exploring South Korea—not without a lot of coffee.
