Personal Trainers help you get the most out of your exercise.

We’ve all heard of personal trainers but why would you choose to use one? Personal trainers are no longer just the domain of celebrities and serious athletes.

Do you have the desire but lack the motivation? Have you reached a plateau in your fitness? Do you have a specific goal that you are trying to achieve? Are you new to exercise or returning to exercise after some time off? Do you want to achieve your health and fitness goals in the fastest, most efficient and safest manner? Are you limited with time? Are you unsure of the best exercises or training techniques for your goals?

Answer ‘YES’ to any of these questions and personal training will be for you.

By choosing personal training you will be supported and challenged, we will understand but hold you accountable for your choices and we will be committed to you achieving your goals, even when you are not. Our philosophy is that health and fitness transcends into all aspects of life. A healthy and fit person increases their immune system and decreases their risk of lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and many forms of cancer. Healthy and fit people have boundless energy that is consistent throughout the day. They have much better quality sleep. They are also far less susceptible to mental health issues such as depression.

So, with so many benefits what are you waiting for? See what a personal trainer can do for you.

Hilary conquers the Milford Track!

Hilary Saxton is the 'life of the party' Pilates instructor at Bodysense Pilates Studio and a Life Coach.

Ok so I signed up as a follower of Bodysense Pilates and where are the rest of you? As a Pilate’s devotee I was kind of hoping that you other devotees might have joined in already. So my original thought was that I had to learn how to sign up but hae – I made it and I will hope you do too.

Well I’ve just walked the Milford Track – apparently one of the world’s no. 1 walks. I have to say ‘magic, spectacular, breathtaking and gorgeous’ – and that was just the boat driver… Joking!!

Seriously it was truly up there with cookies and cream ice cream. So pleased to have done it and all of the well wishes who were wondering if I would wear mascara and lipstick? Well absolutely yes and I was not the only one! We carried our own packs and food etc so I figured I’d add a lippy and mascara, what’s 100g!

To be honest the mozzies and sand flies got a little crazy occasionally but as I was up on the McKinnon Pass I had tears in my eyes. No - not from the insect repellent I’d accidentally rubbed into them but from the beautiful majestic canvas that we were actually on. So if any of you would like to know more about it feel free to email and we can have a chat. We did book a year in advance as it is rather popular. And BTW (‘by the way’ for the non texters) I was so pleased to have done pilates to be able to carry the pack without any problems at all.
