Anastasia Bennett is all about taking action and delivering results—and she’ll help you do the same.
Whether it’s hiring the right people, building a strong team or stepping into your role as a leader, Anastasia will guide you every step of the way. As a Two-Brain mentor since 2017, she specializes in teaching you how to sell authentically (no pushy tactics here) and retain clients long term.
How does she do it? By drawing from her own incredible journey.
At just 19, Anastasia began working toward her Perfect Day. She left her home in Russia, speaking no English, and moved to New Zealand, where she worked as a dishwasher and waitress while building the skills she’d need to succeed.
Her entrepreneurial journey began early. Anastasia started her first business—a mobile nail salon—while managing two retail stores. Later, she ventured into fitness and found her true calling.
Fitness became a part of Anastasia’s life in 2010, starting with bootcamps, kickboxing & Brazilian jiu-jitsu. She went on to represent New Zealand in mixed martial arts before discovering CrossFit. In 2013, she opened WOF CrossFit alongside her husband.
She also sought mentorship from Chris Cooper in 2014, before Two-Brain Business even existed.
“If we had not started and carried on with Two-Brain, we wouldn’t have a business now,” she said. “It helped me not only keep my gym but grow it into a successful and reputable business.
“At first, my husband and I were both working full-time jobs while growing the gym. Once we hired Two-Brain Business, eight months later I left my full-time job to focus on running WOF CrossFit full time.”
Years later, after building a strong team and business systems, Anastasia hired a general manager to run the gym, allowing her to focus on her family, pursue her studies and dive into the creative aspects of the business.
During this time, Anastasia expanded her fitness portfolio by purchasing a second gym in partnership with another couple. She successfully grew the business and later sold it, along with her meal-prep service, My Meal Box.
Anastasia’s experience has given her unique insight into the dynamics of shared business ownership and she knows how to navigate partnerships effectively.
In 2017, she joined the Two-Brain mentorship team to help others achieve similar success.
“I became a mentor to help others build successful businesses, show them what’s possible and share everything I’ve learned through my own mistakes,” she said.
Anastasia’s mentorship style is very direct, honest and results driven. She holds her mentees accountable for taking action and believes in celebrating every success along the way.
In 2021, she sold her remaining gym and started Lifehack Coaching, an online program focusing on weight loss, fitness and mindset transformation.
Anastasia’s credentials are just as impressive as her experience. She holds certificates in accounting, business management and project management, as well as fitness and nutrition diplomas, a health science diploma and a life coaching diploma. With a passion for women’s health and nutrition at every stage of life, she is also studying to become a clinical nutritionist.
Today, Anastasia is living her Perfect Day: mentoring others, spending time with her family, traveling the world, enjoying “me” time, training five to six days a week and growing her business.
Her mission is simple: to help you create your own Perfect Day, too.
“I’ll help you tick those boxes and celebrate every success along the way,” she said.
