Focus

To help you get the most out of your life by helping you feel good about yourself, how you look, and to get moving so you can enjoy doing the activities you want to do.

Together we will find a programme that you really can sustain, tailored to your specific needs, goals and capabilities.

My belief is exercise should be accessible to everyone no matter what injuries, disabilities or reluctance they experience.

My specialty is getting you started, at your level, so that you can enjoy and build your capabilities.

I love seeing newcomers grow from reluctance and lack of confidence to believing in themselves, feeling better about themselves, and feeling freer, fitter, stronger and more confident.

It’s the best return on investment you can ever make in yourself, and I’m happy to help you.

Experience

I’ve been helping clients improve themselves through exercise and nutrition since 2010.

Following a motorcycle accident I've experienced my own physical rehabilitation challenges with serious injuries. It was during that rehab process that I found how powerful it is to have a personal trainer working with you to achieve your goals. That is one of the reasons I became a Personal Trainer. (more about my accident here)

Early 2019 I started on my own weight loss experiment, losing 16kg and experimented with some different approaches. I have a feel for the challenges you face losing weight – of course, noting we all have our own personal challenges as well.

Having answered calls at a crisis helpline for a number of years, you can be assured of an environment where you will feel listened to, safe, cared for, and not judged.

Based in Maungaraki, Lower Hutt for more than 30 years, I support clients in achieving their goals in their home, office, outdoors, or in my studio.
