Fitco Personal Training

Today marks 30 years of officially being a certified Les Mills Instructor.  My first programme was BodyAttack & I still have my handwritten Quality Control marking sheet from none other than Mike McSweeney.  72% - “You teach Body Attack well...” a compliment, if you know Mike didn’t sugar coat his words.  The pictures were when I was Miss Razzy’s Fitness Cente at the Miss Rotorua Beauty Pageant the same year. 

I came up to Auckland 2 years later & began embarking on my Personal Training journey.  Les Mills had an academy for training & Lee Parore facilitated this.  In Module One I was 21 weeks pregnant, Module 2 – 33 weeks pregnant & Module 3 – 37 weeks pregnant.  I was also part of a photoshoot for ‘Positively Pregnant’ a book by Emma Patton, during the same time. It would be exactly 20 years later that I actually started my Personal Training business after completing an Advanced Certificate in Personal Training. 

After having my babies in the late 1990’s I then went on to update my certification in Body Attack as Body Training Systems was developed, & of course started my journey in the Cycle Programmes – I've already told that story when RPM turned 25.  So, I guess all of this confirms that if you have a passion for health & fitness, & you love movement to music, there really is something for everyone, if you have the dedication & desire to perform.  Enjoy the journey!
