About Me
Hi, I'm Robbie, I grew up right here in Beachlands, on the beautiful Pōhutukawa Coast. I’ve watched it grow from a small seaside village into a thriving community — but that same sense of connection and support is still what makes it special. My career took me through IT, hospitality, and sales, but none of it ever truly felt like where I was meant to be. One day I asked myself, “Is it too late for a complete career change?” The answer was a solid no! So I became a certified personal trainer. After qualifying, I wasn’t quite sure which path to take — until I tried a Reformer Pilates class. It was a total lightbulb moment. Combining Pilates with strength training just clicked, and I knew I’d found my direction. From there, I trained as a Reformer Instructor and followed my passion for fitness and healthy ageing. Opening this studio has been an incredible journey — full of challenges and growth — and I’m so proud of what’s come to life. I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of my partner, family, and friends (you know who you are!). So here’s to the next chapter — strength, confidence, and good movement ahead.
Let’s go!
