WITH KRISTIE
I’m here to help you build strength and confidence, through all of life’s changes.
Meet Kristie
I’m an active relaxer, coffee snob, traveller, book lover, and mama to a cheeky two year old - who doesn’t allow me much time for the aforementioned hobbies!
In 2012 I went on a weight loss journey, where I fell in love with exercise and all that comes with it. I tried everything from CrossFit to Pilates, strength training to swimming laps - you name it, I’ve probably given it a go!
After the birth of my daughter, things changed. I wasn’t able to use my body in the way I was used to; running, jumping, boxing, was all off the table. I was desperate to get back into the exercise that I loved and to claim back some sense of ‘self’, but struggled to find a trainer who understood the changes I had gone through.
I needed someone who could guide me safely back to exercise, but quickly identified that there isn’t nearly enough hands-on support and expertise out there for the mamas and mamas-to-be! So, I was inspired to take my experience and turn it into a platform to support others.
I am a Level 5 Qualified Personal Trainer (New Zealand Institute of Health and Fitness) with a special interest in pregnancy and postpartum exercise. I am incredibly passionate about my responsibility to guide others towards their fitness goals (whatever they may be) and look forward to the opportunity to support you with yours.

Personal Training
Stuck in a rut? Lost your mojo? A little bit too comfortable with your current exercise routine and need a bit of a shakeup? Or perhaps you are looking to return to exercise after pregnancy, injury, or some time off?
I work with people of all ages and stages for one on one training. I know how hard it can be to make time for YOU, but I also know the difference it can make when you prioritise yourself. I offer an honest, comfortable and safe environment to help you slowly but surely get back to feeling like your best self again.
