Jane Williams

Personal Coach

How often is it that your sacrifice your own health and fitness because you just can’t find the time or the energy?  Congratulations you have just made that first step towards making it a priority. As a qualified NZ REPs registered Personal Trainer, finalist at Exercise NZ awards, and a Personalised Health Coach, I can help you with the next step either at our small, personal gym or your own home.

Do you want to feel great within your own body ?

Are you struggling to navigate menopause?

Do you tired of not having any energy? 

Are you tired of trying everything without success?

Are you tired of owning a wardrobe you can’t wear?

Together we can create a personalised plan that will work within your lifestyle and budget to achieve your goals, Whatever it is, I will coach and encourage you to get there.

Research has shown that working with a Personal Coach achieves sufficiently greater improvements in fitness, body shape and overall health within a shorter period and in a safe and encouraging environment. My clients say that the additional benefits of a personalised, epigenetic based programme have led to additional positive impacts in their day-to-day lives.

Common examples are: better quality sleep, reduced stress levels, less pain and more energy.  

As a working Mum of two teenage girls, I appreciate the demands people have on their time and how hard it can be to prioritise your own health and well-being. But it is important that you do. Over the years I have gone through some tough personal challenges. I got myself through these by prioritizing care of myself, my sleep, diet, exercise and stress levels. I draw on these life experiences and the skills I have gained through my work to support my clients, so they can thrive, feel great about themselves and keep doing the things they enjoy, now and in the future. My philosophy is a holistic approach to a person’s health and fitness. By looking at the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and supporting those areas that need attention.

Client Testimonials

"Quite simply the best decision I have made this year! Jane has made a huge difference to my life. Her personal training is exceptional but being faced with the unknowns of a changing body with peri menopause I am very grateful for her insights , compassion and understanding of what I am going through has changed my life for the better!" Emma

"I have seen massive changes in not only my physical strength but more so my stress levels, ability to think clearer and sleep better.  Jane is an awesome trainer, she pushes you hard, but does so with a big smile and a great sense of humour.  I really look forward to my weekly slots with Jane and come away each time feeling so much more alive." Kirsten

"Jane is easy to connect with. She listened to the goals I wanted to achieve and built a great programme around this. I had two months available to train with Jane and during this time she challenged, encouraging and motivated me. She never judged me which I really appreciated. Also, she didn’t just concentrate on the fitness she helped me look at the emotional and nutritional aspects and made changes where necessary. I learnt a great deal. I was very pleased to achieve the goal I set out, with the help of Jane I have made very positive life changes". Charlotte

"Jane has been my personal training for over 12 months and has done an excellent job in getting me race ready for multiple running events including the Routeburn Classic, Christchurch and Dunedin Marathons, Oxford Odyssey, and Mission Mt Sommers. In addition, Jane also helped me build the strength and stamina required to summit Mt Cook. Jane has also been pivotal in adapting my training to condition me formy first Coast to Coast Race. Jane has been great to work with. She has a wealth of experience, knows how and when to push you and takes a holistic view in helping you achieve your wellness goals. She also makes training fun - 2 sessions are never the same. I highly recommend Jane to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level." Richard

"I had sustained a long-term injury at work, this along with loss of confidence, motivation and pain. Jane adapted many different training styles to suit my abilities. Jane was very encouraging, firm in her directions to me (she didn't let me get away with being lazy). Over the time I spent with Jane, my balance, mobility, confidence and general health improved greatly. With her guidance I was able to lose weight and cm off waist/hips/thighs/arms. I keep Jane’s training guide pinned to the door, it reminds me to keep moving, it is Jane's voice telling me that I am worth the effort. She is an inspiration". Jan

"I've been visiting Jane for two years now for personal training sessions. The experience is informative and useful for setting my personal goals. The most important benefits from these sessions is my ability to feel stronger, healthier and more balanced in my life. I've recently taken up tramping again and the work done at the gym with Jane works perfectly to help me achieve summits and distances carrying my own gear that I would have seriously struggled with previously".
