About Us

With a background in teaching Les Mills classes and a qualification PT, I feel passionate about creating a space where people can simply show up and be part of a supportive community.

For me, fitness is all about community and how it makes you feel. Teaching classes allows me to stay active, support others, and continually push myself while forming meaningful connections.

I am committed to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals and fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all.

With a background in surf lifesaving, netball, and a PT qualification, I’ve always been drawn to movement, especially if it’s outdoors and by the ocean. I started coaching group fitness straight after qualifying and quickly realised that’s where my passion truly lies.

"For me, fitness is all about connection, pushing through a tough session alongside others, sharing a laugh (and a few complaints), and showing up for each other. I believe in taking small steps, being consistent, and not sweating the small stuff your routine should support you, not stress you out."

I was introduced to FAT through a friend of mine that had a feeling that I would not only enjoy doing the classes, but also enjoy the coaching. Turns out... both happened to be true! 

I have a background in Sports Science from University of Otago and have always had so much fun playing sport and being active. The beauty that I have found in FAT is that it feels like a perfect melting pot for all of those. For me, fitness is constantly evolving, but the throughline is always the overall benefit it can give to all aspects of your life. The community, the physical, the mental clarity and discipline, it all goes towards making a better you.

If you commit to having fitness in your life, then all other aspects will be forced to adjust and you will be better for it. I want to connect with people through movement and the same desire to better themselves that I have instilled in myself

I discovered FAT while searching for a community that values people just as much as movement and I haven’t looked back since. I grew up playing all kinds of sports, from swimming to basketball, and now you’ll usually find me running or throwing down at a FAT class.

"For me, fitness is all about setting goals, finding joy in movement, and making time for recovery. I believe when you’re having fun and surrounded by good people, it’s so much easier to stay consistent and keep pushing yourself."

I first came to FAT in 2019 after moving to Auckland, and was instantly hooked by the energy, music, and welcoming community. Six years later, I’m stoked to be on the other side, coaching and connecting with the people who make this space so special.

"I’ve always loved movement, from running and multi-sport to strength, pilates, and yoga. For me, it’s about doing what feels good, fuelling your body well, and building small habits that make a big impact!"
