A bit about me…

I’ve always been active in some way, having been involved in dance, outdoor sports like climbing, kayaking, biking and bodybuilding since my early 20s. I did my first class of Inferno Hot HIIT Pilates about six years ago. I loved it so much, I took the teacher training straight away. It seemed to combine everything I love about exercise, strength and resistance work, focus on core strength, great music, HIIT and cardio!

I started with a little studio in my garage and then moved on to a larger room in Mairangi Bay where a little community of like-minded fitness-seeking people who understand the importance of challenging your body met twice a week for the past few years. I have loved helping my students who are now friends get super fit. It has been a blast!

The great thing about this modality is that it not only delivers a very intense workout and gets results quickly, but it’s fast-paced, fun and safe! It’s never boring. I look forward to it in my day and look forward to seeing my students. My clients often tell me that they feel stronger after only a few weeks. Many of my clients say that this class is about other things they know they need to do, but don’t. Some keep coming because their pain has disappeared. Others keep coming because it enhances their other sports. There have been quite a few men who have enjoyed developing their core strength and flexibility for sports like surfing.

I believe in this modality, in the efficacy of HIIT and Pilates 100%. Come join us for some fun and watch yourself get strong, empowered and confident.

High-Intensity Interval Training

The exercises are intense, working one area at a time, for 8 sets in 20-30 second intervals until you feel the burn! Anyone can do this exercise because they are all low impact. You can work at your own l pace as you create the intensity that’s right for you. I will push you to work hard, but I always want you to be safe and listen to your body first and foremost. We prioritise good form and technique over intensity always.

HIIT Pilates Works!

We focus on building strength in the core, balancing out the strengths in each area, which is so essential for moving well without pain and avoiding injury. This works wonders for people who sit, stand or lift in their jobs. You get a whole-body workout as well as the equivalent of about 40 minutes of regular cardio in one session. You’ll be sweating by the end of the class! We work hard but have fun in the process.

I’m 61 and Pilates is keeping me fit and able to do most of the other sports I’ve always done. It really works! I intend to keep doing it and stay strong, mobile and fit well into old age!
