Testimonials
Melanie Calvesbert, Wellington
Having AJ as a personal trainer has made all the difference in the world to me. When I first saw her a in 2013, I couldn’t walk up any stairs without discomfort and some pain. Fast forward to more recent times and I’ve returned to karate and been strong enough to go for another grading. I feel like I’ve got my body back in a way that I doubted I ever would. This is all due to AJ. She is skilful, listens so well to any issues I raise, and is 100% focussed on what helps me meet my goals. AJ’s programmes are varied, creative and so effective.
Hannah Brackley, Wellington
Having worked with AJ since 2014, I have no hesitation in saying she is a truly excellent trainer. With her thorough knowledge of the human anatomy and holistic approach, she has helped me to overcome a significant back injury to become stronger and more flexible, allowing me to maintain an active lifestyle. AJ prepares personalised programmes and with great attention to detail she adapts or tweaks things, always ensuring exercises are effective and safe. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge and commitment to her clients are a scenario for success; I recommend her without reservation.

AJ came highly recommended as a PT in 2012. At that time, I needed AJ to help re-establish my fitness routine, so that I could be my best in my strategic management roles. AJ's energy is always positive, even at 5.30 am!!! What impressed me the most was AJ's attentiveness to my goals; whilst balancing what my mind and body needed from session to session. Her holistic approach allowed me to develop a sense of inner strength. No session was the same and her creativity pushed boundaries that I didn't know were possible!
In 2019, I started ‘small group training’ with AJ and again her ability to connect and provide some 1:1 for each person was exceptional. The varying needs of the group did not phase AJ - she simply adapted the session to suit everyone.
In 2021, AJ ran a Wellness Workshop for my regional managers. With over 35 attendees, AJ imparted her knowledge on why, how and what was needed for work-life balance. Tasks were assigned, ideas brainstormed and action plans made. The bonus of the workshop was understanding how important posture was to our wellbeing. Armed with massage balls, we all learnt how to release narley trigger points in our neck and shoulders!
AJ's personality suits any environment. I wholeheartedly recommend her in a 1:1 or Group Facilitation capacity. You can be assured that AJ will listen to your needs, partner with you to develop the solution and implement flawlessly.
