What do you do when you aren’t taking classes?
Walking along the beach, socialising with friends and fam, playing tennis or having a cheeky afternoon nap.
Why and how did movement become such a big part of your life?
I have been brought up with tennis since a young age, so I have a sporting background. Love running around and getting the adrenaline pumping.
Your favourite thing about the Hiit Squad community?
How everyone is so welcoming! Plus they are my inspiration with how much they work.
What’s your favourite Hiit Squad class?
Hiit Locker - especially on a Saturday morning
What other practices do you live by that support your mindset and mood?
Walks along the beach, watch cooking shows and eat good food!
What’s your favourite type of music to work out to?
Upbeat music is the way to go - secretly loving the DNB in classes.
How do you motivate yourself to get moving when you’re low energy?
Always remind myself of the trusty quote “You always feel better after a workout, no matter what” . I am also routine based and this has to be a part of it, otherwise, it fluffs my day up.
What’s your advice to someone brand new to fitness who wants to get started?
Everyone has to start somewhere. Whatever fitness level you are there are always ways to make any workout suit every individual.
What’s your favourite post-workout snack/meal?
Game Plan Meals - YUM, or it would have to be brown rice cakes with PB and banana.
What does a typical day in your life look like?
Wuuuuuurk, walk, train, eat, sleeeeeep, repeat.
Are you an early riser or a night owl?
Will forever be an early riser, especially in this industry.
Favourite local Christchurch eatery?
That’s a real tough one. I am going to have to go with King of Snake or Chiwahwahs (mainly for the Tropicanas).
What’s your go to brunch order?
Usually I am a French Toast kinda gal, but also love anything with Halloumi.
Three things that bring you the most happiness?
Friends/Family, my job, strolls along the beach.
