Fitness Effex NZ

Hi, I'm Tash

I'm a Qualified Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach (REPS registered) based in Mt Maunganui and Papamoa.

For years I had an addiction to all things cardio. I was skinny but I had no muscle tone. I knew I loved being active, and I THOUGHT I knew how to eat healthy, but really, I had no idea. I also knew there had to be something better than running for hours on end nursing sore knees and shin splints or jumping around in an aerobics class 5 x a week. I worked in Human Resources, I loved my job, but what I REALLY wanted to do was study fitness.

After the birth of my 2nd son, our lives changed, he had huge food issues and I went on a huge journey learning about nutrition and the positive and negative effects it had on not just your waistline, but on your emotional and neurological needs too.

Then I gained a 30 kgs through my 3rd pregnancy, I yo-yo around for ages trying to lose the weight. Then a good friend took me along to a boot camp one day, I loved it! So I joined up and used the nutritional knowledge I found. This time I not only got fit and active, I also got strong and built muscle.

My instructor encouraged me to get qualified, so I finally took the leap, got myself qualified and Ive never looked back.

Fitness and nutrition is my passion! In particular, woman's fitness.

Men and woman respond very differently to different styles of training, and, usually, we have very different needs and wants from each other when it comes to fitness and aesthetically.

I believe in equipping my clients with the skills and tools to get healthy, fit and strong and stay that way for life by creating habits that are sustainable, Habits that can be maintained no matter what your circumstances, budget or situation.

I don't believe in quick fixes or magic pills to get results. And it needs to be something that works for you no matter what your situation is - single, married or feeding a family.

Personal and Fitness Training is not just about looking great on the outside, its about the whole package! Looking, feeling and BEING 100% for life.
