Ebony Pavanello

Hey queen, I’m Eb — one of the coaches here at Lioness.

Creating a space where women feel safe, welcomed, and completely themselves is everything to me. I’m big on connection, zero on judgment, and obsessed with helping people step into the strongest, most confident version of who they are.

Before coaching, I spent years in childcare, child protection, and education support — which meant patience, adaptability, and understanding people on a deeper level became second nature. Now I get to bring all of that into the gym, meeting every woman exactly where she’s at.

My own fitness journey kicked off when I was nine, playing netball all the way through to twenty-three. I loved the team environment — the “we’ve got your back no matter what” energy.
When I tried the gym at seventeen, it just never clicked… mostly because I hadn’t found my place yet. I didn’t have that environment where it felt safe to be new, to learn, to mess up, and to grow.

Fast forward through a few different career paths, I realised I wanted a life that actually lit me up. You know the saying, “Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”?
That’s how Lioness feels for me. I get to show up every day surrounded by the most beautiful team and community — women who are growing, challenging themselves, and cheering each other on. It’s genuinely life-changing.

As your coach, I’ll always be in your corner.
I’ll hype you up, guide you, support you, and celebrate every win — big or small.
Because you deserve to feel powerful, capable, and completely at home in your journey.
