What they say

Personal Training with Pam

 

“All those wasted years of the ‘you can look like me’ lie at gyms. I just needed a trainer who supported me to train for what my body needed. That’s what Pam offers”

Training with Pam is all about well-being.  At my age, I’m not aiming to be super fit, though if I wanted that, Pam could help me get there.

I need to keep well and strong and Pam’s training sessions are built around how I am on any particular day.  She pushes as much as I need and even after 3 years she is still introducing new exercises.

“She has really shaped my awareness around how my body was made and how it can best function”

Pam is an incredible personal trainer and human who gives her all to her clients. Over the years I’ve worked with her, Pam has not only trained me but given me specific tips and guidelines on everything from diet and exercise, mental health, prioritising stimulation AND rest, time to myself, and working towards a peaceful family life and less stressful, more fulfilling work.

Her advice and training has helped me to not feel so mysterious and high-maintenance but rather has given every need a purpose and meaning behind it. Pam has helped me to implement practical real-life changes that make a difference in my day to day life and happiness. She has really shaped my awareness around how my body was made and how it can best function.

Pam reminds me of what my body needs but also what it is capable of. She’s also just a truly lovely person who genuinely cares about her clients. Pam has become like family to us and we’re forever grateful to her.”  Breigh, Lower Hutt

“Pam knows how to adapt things when you are struggling with injuries and niggles – in terms of a trainer, she is one in a million. “

I have worked with Pam for over 7 years.

In terms of a trainer she is one in a million. She knows how to mix things up, and keep you interested. No workout is ever the same.

Pam knows how to adapt things when you are struggling with injuries and niggles. My favourite motto that Pam has taught me is “there is always something you can do” Pam has worked with me to rehab me back from running injuries. She has a wealth of knowledge in her field.

Recently she has coached me and my husband through the PH360 programme. This has added another layer into my training understanding how my body/mind works. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pam has a PT or health coach.  Vanessa, Lower Hutt

“She put me at ease straight away”

I couldn’t recommend Pam enough! She put me at ease straight away.  Each session she tailors the time to how I’m feeling and mixes different activities together to make a great program that is fun. I have complete confidence in knowing that if Pam thinks I can then I can!”  Helen, Lower Hutt

“Too good not to share and a number of my friends and family are now clients too”

I’ve been working with Pam for over 8 years now and I’m certainly seeing and feeling the benefits. Sessions with Pam are as challenging as they are entertaining, but there’s always breath left for a laugh. Pam is a master of the art of negotiation, offering choices based on how I’m feeling, but making sure at the same time that I am challenging myself.

I have been to a gym in the past but have never worked out to the level I do with Pam, she gives me the confidence to push myself and having a personal cheer leader really does make a difference.

And it’s not all about the exercise, Pam cares about the general well-being of her clients. She offers advice and encourages goal setting, she’ll even provide gentle reminders of the goals you have set by text or email to help keep you on track.

Pam has been too good not to share and a number of my friends and family are now clients too.  Debra, Upper Hutt

“Her experience and knowledge is amazing.

Pam has been my personal trainer for the past 4 years. Two of those have been deeply testing as I was diagnosed with a serious form of arthritis.

Determined to strengthen myself during this period, Pam was instrumental in helping me find new ways to work out my body, so that I was able to build my cardio even when certain joints were failing me. Thankfully I’ve passed through that period and my body was better prepared for the re-building of muscle having never been given up on, thanks to Pam’s knowledge and support.

I can’t stress how many times Pam was tested by a body that was producing new issues, almost monthly, and how she would always encourage me and find a pathway to put my demanding body through a workout. Her experience and knowledge is amazing. She has helped me heal and find my way back to being fully functional. She’s like a member of our family now. Love you Pam.  Louis, Lower Hutt

“Pam is kind, inspiring and NEVER judges me for things I can’t do”

I have been training with Pam for over a 1 year now and she is absolutely great. I provided a unique set of physical challenges going in but Pam quickly managed to find exercises that worked for me.

Pam is kind, inspiring and NEVER judges me for things I can’t do. I always look forward going to my training days. I am grateful for finding someone as awesome as Pam and would highly recommend as a personal trainer.  Scott, Lower Hutt

“I feel so much better mentally and physically and now, amazingly, look forward to my weekly session”

As someone who never really liked gyms and got easily bored with an exercise regime, I decided a personal trainer was my only hope to gain some semblance of fitness.  I found Pam online and liked the fact that she seemed normal and not too scary! Working out 1:1 is so much more enjoyable and Pam continues to smile through my grunts and groans, gently coaxing me but with no recrimination when I collapse in a heap  or have put on the odd kilo.

The result is that I’m still going 12 months later and I have had to buy new suits as I have lost 12 kg, and more importantly kept it off. I feel so much better mentally and physically and now amazingly look forward to my weekly session.  Thanks Pam!  Mike, Lower Hutt

“Fit Future is not just a saying, Pam embodies that mantra to ensure her clients are fit for living”

I have been training with Pam since 2018. After a back injury, I needed someone who could tailor a programme specifically for me & also monitor me so that I don’t cause any more damage.

Pam’s workouts keep me mentally interested, balancing that with strengthening my problem areas, and also strengthening body areas that weaken with age.

Fit Future” is not just a saying, Pam embodies that mantra to ensure her clients are fit for living.

Whether you want help with injury rehab, weight loss or general fitness Pam is well qualified to help you.  Of equal importance is that she is professional, friendly & fun.  Sessions with Pam are really enjoyable. Anne, Lower Hutt

“An excellent mix of challenge but with understanding”

Pam is a fantastic trainer, an excellent mix of challenge but with understanding. She is a master of the non judgemental approach, which I found very motivating. She helped me to understand that physical health was about consistent strength and movement training and is not a short term goal but a forever journey.
Highly recommended.”  Tracy, Hutt Valley

“I feel better going to a PT session”

Pam is a great PT, and really listens. Even on days when I feel blah, I feel better for going to a PT session with Pam.”  Andrea, Lower Hutt

“Tailors my programme to my capabilities and keeps it interesting”

I started with Pam to help me keep on track with a weight loss programme I had already started.  Since starting with Pam, I have kept on track with my weight loss and have got much fitter and more flexible. Pam is always prepared to be flexible and add/change sessions for me should that be required.

I really enjoy working with Pam- she tailors my programme to my capabilities and level, and keeps it interesting. She is great and I would happily recommend her to others.  Linda, Upper Hutt

“She keeps me moving”

“Pam is amazing! I see her regularly because she keeps me moving. She adapts sessions to what my body is up for on the day and keeps challenging me to go a little further. Highly recommended.”​ Nicola, Upper Hutt

“I couldn’t have got to Outward Bound without Pam”

I am not a fan of gyms. I have enrolled in the past, started out ok but like most stopped going and given up. Things changed over a year ago though when I decided I wanted to go to Outward Bound. Now I’m a mature person and my exercise wasn’t exactly regular, apart from a bit of dancing, so when I went to see Pam and told her of my goal I was expecting her to go ‘Yeah Right – no chance”. She didn’t, she said ‘great goal, let’s work towards that’. After asking me some questions about what I needed, she went away and did her own research and came back with a plan. She assessed my ability and worked out what I needed to be ready.

That goal has been and gone now and I had the best time ever, I couldn’t have got to Outward Bound without Pam. We are on to my next goal now prompted by my OB experience. I still dislike gyms but I look forward to my weekly session with Pam. It gets me started on the right track for the day and I can release the weeks crap. I wouldn’t do it any other way now. Highly recommend working with Pam.   Lorna, Upper Hutt

“Specific exercise … means I have no more pain”

Pam has been my personal trainer for more than a year now and I thoroughly enjoy the programme that Pam prepares for me. As a middle aged woman it is important to keep up my muscle and tone so I can still enjoy being fit and maintain my strength.  My general fitness and tone has definitely improved. Pam is always so positive and encouraging.  My aching shoulder because of Pam’s specific exercise on my rotator muscle means I have no more pain. I highly recommend Pam as a personal trainer. I know Pam has a studio but coming to my home is even better.  Anna, Lower Hutt

“Because of Pam’s insightful observations of my posture, my lower back doesn’t hurt as much as it used to!”

“As my working life got busier, I struggled to find time to do enough of the right kinds of exercise to maintain a healthy weight. I had been walking to keep fit but was getting increasingly tight leg muscles and still had no real core muscle strength. I decided to take a course of 10 sessions with Pam to try and turn my fitness and strength around and set some goals for myself. Pam is awesome! She responded to my telephone query with all the right answers to my questions, and I felt comfortable talking to her immediately. We set up an initial meeting to decide how to proceed and then I met her weekly at her studio. Pam worked with me to set diet and exercise goals and tailored them to suit an injury I was having trouble with. Our sessions were varied and lots of fun – I would often arrive tired and lacking in energy and with a headache and leave fully energised with a big smile on my face. It was such a good feeling to have successfully completed interval training, a range of challenges with a Swiss Ball, some kick boxing and floor exercises. I really enjoyed working with Pam, we laughed a lot and exercise with her was lots of fun and never the same. Because of Pam’s insightful observations of my posture I also now have some excellent stretches to practice during the day and my lower back doesn’t hurt as much as it used to. Pam’s idea was such a simple solution to a long term complaint. Thank you Pam! I would have no hesitation recommending you!”  Jenny, Lower Hutt
