Tania Zaetta With her celebrity profile, beauty therapy qualifications and Barre Pilates certifications Tania Zaetta is in demand as a ‘Health, fitness and beauty expert’. It may have been love that led international celebrity Tania Zaetta to become the peninsula’s newest high-profile resident, but we soon discover not only has she won the heart of handsome boyfriend Chris Rogers, Peninsula Hot Springs manager, but is also winning the hearts of locals with her passion for teaching the community her favourite workout - Barre Pilates. Tania is a household name, thanks to her world-wide television and film achievements. She’s forged one of the most diverse and successful careers in Australian entertainment, over the past two decades, yet manages to find time in her hectic media schedule to teach her beloved Pilates and Barre Pilates classes to peninsula women. She jokingly refers to them as her ‘tight tummy, firm butt classes’. If her infamous toned body that has graced more than 50 magazine covers around the globe is anything to go by, then this workout works! Initially qualified as a Natural Beauty Therapist, Tania stumbled into modeling which lead to a career in television... She shot to fame as the daredevil host on the show Who Dares Wins, viewers watched her face her fears to complete a series of life threatening challenges. The show’s success took her to India, to film new versions. International television roles followed, including a leading spot in Baywatch. Turning her attention towards the
world’s largest film industry, Bollywood, Tania relocated to India landing co-starring roles in four consecutive hit films, earning her the title ‘the first foreigner to conquer Bollywood’. Now basing herself in Rye, Tania commutes to her Media commitments and ambassadorial roles, including guest spots on Sunrise. Utilising her qualifications in Natural Beauty Therapy, Pilates and Barre Pilates, combined with her years walking Red Carpets around the world, Tania is a sought after MC and celebrity guest speaker. Her ‘Body Health Beauty Retreats and Workshops’ are a huge hit around the country where she teaches all her tips, tricks and secrets to women. ‘I travel around sharing how I live my life and what I do to stay healthy, trim, balanced and looking my best’ says Tania. ‘I work through the book I’ve written which includes all my glowing skin tricks, healthy eating tips, yummy clean recipes and fast tone up exercises. They love it.’ ‘Like everyone else I’m time poor when it comes to my workouts so I’m after the fastest results in the shortest possible time to keep my shape’. Madonna, Beyonce and Victoria Secrets models, including Miranda Kerr, regularly use the same workout. Jennifer Hawkins and Megan Gale are also Barre devotees. Barre Pilates uses a combination of Pilates and ballet-inspired exercises done at the Ballet Barre, strengthening and toning the entire body. Tania’s Barre Pilates Master Classes are usually reserved for corporate groups, and her beauty workshops likewise, but after showing local friends her favorite exercises, to stay in shape, word soon spread and regular classes formed. Tania is now teaching at 3 locations, Rye, Rosebud and Mornington, with extra summer classes in Sorrento, for ladies heading to the peninsula over the holiday period. ‘I wish I could be everywhere at once, to teach everyone my ‘tight tummy, firm butt’ exercises because I love sharing all I know. The only way was to make my workouts, favorite exercises and book chapters available online. As a result a whole new online business and direction has taken place, including a publishing deal for my book,’ Tania said.
