A Bit About Me
Hannah is a kayaker, swimmer and national record holder in powerlifting. Her passion for sports and coaching led her to Massey University of New Zealand and a Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in sports and exercise science at the same time she completed a Bachelor of Commerce in economics and econometrics at Victoria University of Wellington. At Massey she worked as a research assistant in biomechanics and physiology, rehabbing clients in both hospital and lab settings. She has gone on to work as a trainer, group fitness instructor, rehab trainer, Pilates instructor, head swim coach and swim school director in New Zealand while completing multiple continuing education courses with some a number of top international trainers.

Hannah is one of those rare individuals who 'gets' her clients. She takes the time to understand their goals, their motivations and what drives them and uses that to push you to success. I worked with Hannah for almost 12 months training for the New York Marathon. For the first time in years I ran injury free consistently and I always felt supported in my training and progress. I ran an amazing race and had an amazing time & much of that can be put down to my training. Hannah is always professional, yet friendly and is always willing to go above and beyond to help her clients achieve results.

I worked with Hannah after I decided to build core muscle but my injured right shoulder and dislike of working in a gym had prevented me from joining a gym. Hannah had been absolutely fantastic to work with. She created a training programme taking my aversion to the gym and injury into consideration. One of the best of her many great qualities was her seeking feedback from her clients and modifying exercises accordingly. She also encouraged me throughout each session which meant a lot to me. She was always punctual for each of our session. I'd recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dedicated, friendly, knowledgeable trainer who can make difference.

I have been working with Hannah for close to 6 months now. I first contacted Hannah after having major neck surgery following a serious injury. Not only was she able to help recover from deficits experienced from surgery but approach fitness in a fun and diverse way to help prevent future injuries. Hannah uses active listening and takes a keen interest in my goals to develop a plan that works best for me. Hannah explains and demonstrates exercises wonderfully to avoid any confusion. She is more than happy to explain how the exercises help and adapt them or the plan if required. Hannah is always super friendly, approachable and positive when interacting.
