WHO WE ARE
Imani Transformations® is the leading specialists in long-term body and lifestyle transformations for people who desire more than just a good body.
We help you look, feel and function your best—all without compromising your well-being—by bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be, regardless of your goals, needs or starting point—especially when quick fixes, guesswork and generic, cookie-cutter solutions fall short—so you can achieve and maintain the body, confidence, and lifestyle you desire. Our Diet Antidote Transformation System® is designed to meet you where you are, delivering maximum results with minimal time and effort, no matter your goals, starting point or abilities. This system evolves with your unique needs over a 12-month journey, ensuring lasting transformation.
We offer personalised 1:1 coaching in nutrition, fitness, habits, mindset and holistic weight loss, accessible from anywhere in the world. For those local to Melbourne, we also provide in-person training at our private, members-only, appointment-only boutique studio on Main Street, Lilydale, in the outer eastern suburbs. Our studio is a fun, safe, and supportive environment, fostering a strong sense of community.
Unlike other programs, our world-class program is more like couture, not “off the rack.” Our personalised coaching and training programs create a dynamic roadmap that evolves with you, adapting to life’s challenges while keeping you on track, even on tough days. It transforms your mindset, builds lasting habits, and delivers sustainable results—free from stress, pressure, self-sabotage, or rushed timelines.
Our program is designed to enhance how you LOOK (body shape, fat loss, muscle building, and composition), FEEL (mood, energy, and vitality), FUNCTION (strength, mobility, pain-free movement, and metabolism), and LONGEVITY (quality of life, health, and well-being). It’s fully tailored to your fitness level, goals, and unique needs.
At Imani, we believe that struggles with body shape, image, and overall health and well-being stem from personal barriers—habits, mindsets, beliefs, identities, and fears—that prevent us from achieving the body, confidence, and lifestyle we truly desire.
Unfortunately, these deep emotional and psychological challenges cannot be resolved superficially through dieting or exercise alone. Achieving lasting success requires addressing these underlying factors, adopting a sustainable mindset, and following a clear, structured system.
The truth is, most diet plans and conventional fitness programs fail for three key reasons (and no, it’s not just about a calorie deficit!): they ignore underlying issues, offer only temporary fixes, and lack a systematic approach. Achieving long-term success means addressing emotional and psychological factors, adopting a sustainable mindset, and following a clear, structured system.
That’s why we offer something different—a holistic, innovative, and timeless approach that supports you not only on your best days but also through your most challenging ones.
We firmly believe that a good program should be designed for your absolute worst days, not just when everything is going smoothly.
You know the days—when your energy is low, nothing goes right, your partner (or kids) are upset when you get home, and you have a million other things to do besides spending hours working out or preparing organic meals.
Instead of telling you to rely on willpower and push through, like many generic programs do, we work closely with you to ensure you’re not just eating well and exercising, but also prioritising yourself—no matter what life throws your way.
We approach health and fitness in a way that fits your body and lifestyle, rather than forcing you to squeeze your already busy life into a rigid program.
We understand—life can get hectic.
Work, relationships, children, aging parents, running a household, and all the curveballs life throws at us. It never stops being complicated or busy.
That’s why we tailor the program to fit seamlessly into your life, not the other way around.
We show you how to make health and fitness an integral part of your life, no matter what else is going on.
Driven by our desire to bridge this gap and revolutionise the health and fitness landscape, Imani Transformations® was founded in 2016 by the dynamic duo of Mel and Ronnie Oliech with a strong mission and vision.
Our mission is to disrupt diet culture, redefine the health and fitness paradigm, and empower individuals to reclaim their health, vitality, freedom, and quality of life—restoring what diet culture has stolen from humanity, all without compromising well-being.
Our vision is a diet-culture-free world where individuals flourish, prioritise their well-being, and live inspired lives.
When you join the Imani Tribe, you acquire lifelong knowledge, skills, and tools that empower you to reclaim your health, confidence, happiness, freedom, vitality, and quality of life from diet culture. You also create a ripple effect that helps others do the same, becoming part of a movement on a mission to revolutionise the health and fitness paradigm: The Imani Tribe Revolution.
“In a few decades, when the next generation or our descendants ask what we did about the diet culture robbing people of their health, vitality, freedom, quality of life, and general happiness, you will proudly answer, ‘I am Imani Tribe. I was part of the Imani Tribe revolution.’”
Join The Revolution!
IMANI TRANSFORMATIONS - WHAT WE DO
We help you transform your life, not just your body and build the habits you need to sustain the results for good, all without compromising your well-being or giving up what you love.
We offer world-class personal coaching services globally online and in-studio personal training services from the comfort of our brand new exclusive members-only private boutique fitness studio in the Outer Melbourne East.
Our approach is holistic, focusing not only on physical fitness and nutrition but also on habits, mindset change, and mental and emotional well-being.
We strongly believe true transformation goes beyond the superficial (diet and exercise) and requires a deep understanding of our habits and mindset.
Transformation or weight loss is not rocket science and should not be as complicated or as confusing as portrayed by the diet culture and weight loss industry. Instead of bombarding and overwhelming you with complex information, we empower you with the necessary skills, tools, strategies, and systems to effectively incorporate the fundamental aspects of fitness, nutrition, and weight loss into your daily routines consistently.
Transformation is achieved not by more complex and advanced information or strategies, but by consistently implementing the basics over time.
Transformation is not just about before and after photos; it goes beyond fitness and nutrition. It involves being empowered with the knowledge, systems, tools and skills necessary to overcome the obstacles (habits, mindset, beliefs, identities, and fears) that prevent us from attaining the body, confidence, and lifestyle we desire. Essentially, genuine transformation and lasting results occur naturally when we confront and eliminate the barriers that hinder us from achieving the body and life we desire.
We not only teach you what to do, but also remove the guesswork and confusion by showing you exactly how to do it consistently. We distil and break down the knowledge into simple, easy, actionable, progressive daily practices that ensure consistency. We provide you with an exclusive implementation and accountability system that bridges the gap between knowledge and action, guaranteeing consistency and long-term results.
Your goal is unique, and so should your program be. Our program is customised to meet you where you are, regardless of your goals, needs, starting point, or abilities. It is designed to deliver maximum results in minimum time with minimum effort over 12 months, although sometimes more, sometimes less.
Want more than just a good body? You’ve tried an all-or-nothing diet and exercise approach. Now try something different.
Transform your life, not just your body from anywhere in the World.
IMANI TRANSFORMATIONS
WHO WE ARE
Imani Transformations was founded by the dynamic duo Mel and Ronnie Oliech in 2016 with a strong mission to disrupt the diet culture, redefine the health and fitness paradigm and empower people to reclaim their freedom, vitality and quality of life without sacrificing their well-being.
Our vision is to free the world from diet culture and create a happier, more vibrant future.
When you join the Imani Tribe, you are not just investing in yourself or joining another health and fitness program but acquiring lifelong knowledge, skills, and tools that empower you to reclaim your health, confidence, happiness, freedom, vitality, quality of life and power from the diet culture while creating a ripple effect that helps people like you do the same.
You become part of a movement that is on a mission to revolutionise the health and fitness paradigm.
We are a fiercely independent family-owned and operated business, not a franchise. This allows us to make decisions based solely on what is best for our customers. As such, we are not afraid to be different, to rock the boat, and to disrupt the diet culture on our own terms in order to meet our mission and vision, all while delivering optimal results for our clients.
Imani Tribe is a strong, supportive and close-knit community that creates a welcoming environment and treats everyone with respect, fostering a sense of belonging and a culture where we all thrive.
We believe inclusivity starts with us and celebrate and embrace diversity, making this a place where you belong, regardless of your body type, fitness level, ability, gender, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, identity or background.
WHY CHOOSE IMANI
Now, if you’re like most of our clients, you’ve tried different things in the past to get in shape: restrictive fad diets, endless cardio sessions, weight loss apps, and weird fitness gadgets promising incredible results in just 30 days – you know the drill.
And you’ve probably reached the same conclusion most people do with these programs: Nothing really seems to work in the long run.
Sure, you may lose a little weight, tone up, and get a little more energy… but then, for whatever reason, all those benefits seem to disappear as the months go on and life gets in the way.
And then… you’re right back at square one.
That’s when most people simply give up.
If you’ve grown a little sceptical, we understand. It’s exhausting and overwhelming to put up with all the hype and questionable information out there.
That’s where we come in. We are the ones people come to when all the diets and all-or-nothing workouts fail.
Instead of the all-or-nothing dieting approach, we use a sustainable, practice-based approach to build healthy habits into your life, one day at a time.
The result? You will lose the weight (and centimetres) you have not been able to shed for years. You will develop a better relationship with food. And you will say goodbye to dieting, food obsessions and body anxieties for good.
Over the last two decades, we’ve witnessed countless fad diets and fitness trends come and go. None of them worked, yet they all left people feeling worse off. In our quest to find answers to why all the conventional health and fitness solutions didn’t work, at least for the long term, we discovered that they all focused on addressing the WHAT (fitness and nutrition) instead of the WHY (the real deep obstacles that hold us back beyond the superficial).
Diet plans and most weight loss programs don’t work because of their backward and superficial approach of addressing
the WHAT (food and exercise) rather than the WHY (the underlying obstacles that hinder healthy eating and regular exercise beyond the superficial) – habits, mindset, beliefs, identities, and fears.
Out of our desire to bridge this gap and provide real long-term solutions, The Imani Transformations® and The Diet Antidote Transformation System® were born with a strong mission to disrupt the diet culture, redefine the health and fitness paradigm, and empower people to reclaim their freedom, vitality, and quality of life without sacrificing their well-being. Our vision is to free the world from the diet culture and create a happier, more vibrant future.
We don’t have weight or health problems. We have personal problems (habits, mindset, beliefs, identities and fears) that reflect on our weight, health, relationships, quality of life, happiness and throughout our lives.
Unfortunately, these issues cannot be resolved through dieting and exercise. Until we address the underlying emotional baggage, weight loss and true transformation will always be a challenge. This approach is why most diet plans, weight loss programs, and health and fitness regimes are bound to fail, regardless of effort. We cannot achieve long-term transformation and permanent weight loss with the same habits and mindset that led us to this unhappy place. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
This is why we offer something very different. Proven strategies to help you achieve and maintain the body you desire.
Our approach is holistic, focusing not only on physical fitness and nutrition but also on habits and mindset change, as well as mental and emotional well-being.
We strongly believe true transformation goes beyond the superficial (diet and exercise) and requires a deep understanding of oneself.
Let’s face it — Focusing on food and exercise without addressing the habits and mindset that got us where we are is just like refilling a flat punctured tyre with air over and over without sealing the puncture and addressing the cause — a waste of time.
We guide our clients toward a balanced and fulfilling life through personalised habits, mindset, lifestyle, fitness, nutrition and holistic weight loss coaching, support, and accountability. With our program, you will not only achieve your desired physical goals but also reclaim your health, confidence, freedom, vitality and quality of life simultaneously.
We are not an alternative to diet plans and all-or-nothing workouts. We are the solution!
Unlike quick-fix diet plans, all-or-nothing workouts, and other programs, our world-class program is more like couture, not “off the rack.”
Your goal is unique, and so should your program be. Our program is customised to meet you where you are, regardless of your goals, needs, starting point, or abilities.
It is designed to deliver maximum results in minimum time with minimum effort over 12 months, although sometimes more, sometimes less.
We don’t prescribe a ‘one-size-fits-all’ cookie-cutter program, short-term diets, meal plans, or ‘food rules’ (We all know those don’t last).
Instead, we help you get in the best shape of your life and build the habits you need to stay that way for good.
Most diets fail because they attempt drastic overnight changes. Imani Transformations® coaching is different.
We don’t make you follow complicated, restrictive diets. We will help you make smart changes to your diet that are easy to follow and bring real progress.
And the best part? You’ll be able to get results with less effort than you ever thought possible.
With your dedicated expert coach, you’ll receive weekly accountability, guidance, and support to keep you engaged and motivated throughout your journey. Say goodbye to the dieting cycle and hello to lasting change.
Say goodbye to short-term results, inconsistency, guesswork, planning your own workouts, frustration, wasting time and money, counting calories, food rules, restrictions, feeling guilty, unnecessary cardio, cookie cutter programs, unstructured exercise, complicated all-or-nothing training regimes, 6/12-week challenges that only lead to injuries and inconsistency, and just being another number.
Say hello to simple, science-proven fitness, nutrition, habits, mindset, and holistic weight loss strategies that fit seamlessly into your life, with supportive world-class coaches who genuinely care, guiding you every step of the way.
We spent years developing DATS Personal Coaching Program® to give you access to the most comprehensive and only transformation program you’ll ever need.

How it works
Collect data
We ask thought provoking questions to identify the obstacles (habits, mindset, beliefs, identities, fears, stress, sleep, alcohol etc) that hold you back from losing the weight for good and having the body, confidence and lifestyle you desire.
Strategise
Instead of guessing or giving you a ‘one-size-fits-all’ cookie cutter program (fitting your already busy life into a program), we analyse the collected data and work together to develop a personalised strategy/ program that fits your body and lifestyle, therefore you can easily commit to consistently and guarantees long-term results.
Implement the strategy
We do this with our exclusive Diet Antidote Transformation System™. A complete all-in-one habit, mindset and holistic weight loss system that gives you everything you need (knowledge, systems, tools, skills, structure, accountability and support) to finally lose the weight for good, and get the Body, Confidence and Lifestyle you desire — even on your worst days.
Rinse and repeat
The more we collect, track and analyse data, the more refined detailed information we get and therefore the more precise our strategy becomes, which equals faster and maximum results with minimum effort because it’s easy to speed up weight loss when we are not guessing.
