GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTORS

Nikki McCully

Programmes Trained in: BODYATTACK, BODYPUMP, RPM, GRIT, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE, SHAPES

Commenced Instructing: 2014

Why I love it: There is nothing like the group fitness feel. The music, the people, the passion. It is a vibe and an addiction. To move together, riding the same highs and lows through the workout, and finishing together stronger! It's a pleasure and a privilege to join people on their fitness journeys.

Christine Fraser

Programmes Trained in: Lite Circuit/Sit Fit, BODYBALANCE, CORE, RPM

Commenced instructing: 1986

Why I love it: I love GROUP FITNESS and instructing, which is about giving the best experience that I can deliver for that programme. Kensington Fitness is like a family to me and as an instructor I love to see people reaching their goals or just generally feeling good about themselves from the inside out.

In my day job I'm a Dental Therapist for Northland DHB, Mum (3 adult daughters) and Nana. My sports are running (every distance and terrain), triathlon, ocean swimming, cycling on and off road. I'm also learning the drums!

Cathy Orevich

Programmes Trained in: CORE, BODYPUMP, RPM, SPRINT, BODYBALANCE and GRIT.

Commenced instructing: 1985

Why I love it: I have always been involved in some form of sporting activity both team and individual sports.

I love cross-training and I’m a huge supporter of Group Fitness classes and health in general.

My interests include Bodybuilding, powerlifting, obstacle course racing and just enjoying the great outdoors.

Suzy McAsey

Tony Carne

Programmes Trained in: Yang Syle Taiji (Ta'i Chi) Chuan

Commenced Instructing: 2021

Why I love it:: I started learning taiji in Wellington in 1998; attracted to the slow, graceful movements and the fact they could be used as a martial art. Over the years I have become less interested in the martial side, but love the energy and balance (both physical and mental) I get from performing the art. Since being invited to join Kensington Fitness to teach taiji, I have been delighted to share its benefits with attendees at the twice weekly classes; many of whom have told me of the health and wellness benefits they are enjoying since taking up the practice, including improved balance and agility, better coordination and mental acuity and improved posture and breathing. Classes include gentle warming up exercises, a short set of qigong exercises, then around 30 minutes of slow taiji 'form' practice, followed by a coffee and a chat at Refuel Cafe upstairs for those who have the time and inclination.

Keeli Mackereth

Programmes Trained in: SHAPES

Commenced Instructing: 2025

Why I love it: I decided to become a group fitness instructor after falling in love with the Les Mills Shapes classes in 2024. The mixture of barre, pilates and yoga is the perfect combo for me! The workouts remind me of conditioning exercises from when I did ballet during my schooling years. I love the pulses and the burn of the shapes workout and I have loved sharing this unique workout with our members!

Anna Markwick

Programmes Trained in:
RPM, CORE, BODYSTEP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYATTACK

Commenced Instructing in 1996

Why I love it: Nothing beats working out with likeminded people. The energy of the group, the shared determination, and the awesome music keep me motivated every single time. It’s such a buzz seeing everyone lift each other up and leave feeling more energised.

Clark Lewis

Programmes Trained in: RPM, GRIT, SPRINT, BODYATTACK

Why I love it: I love to train with likeminded people and there is something very satisfying about seeing members getting fitter and achieving their fitness and health goals and being able to personally play a small part in that, is pretty cool.

I love to motivate and encourage people which in my classes, this involves loud music and the odd yeah-ha and wa-hoo from time to time. I hope to see you in a class soon!

Gabriella McDonald

Programme Trained in: RPM

Commenced Instructing: 2010

Why I love it: I have always had a real passion for exercise. I love to motivate people with a good and varied choice of music so that everyone regardless of their age or fitness can give their best while enjoying a great ride. I try to be enthusiastic and approachable. I am a people's person and I love meeting new riders. I believe exercise improves your physical and mental wellbeing. Exercise should be fun and motivating - RPM certainly has it all.

Colin Dall

Programmes Trained in: BODYPUMP

Commenced Instructing: 2006

Why I love it: Bodypump is a great group fitness programme for people of all ages. I love challenging and motivating my class participants to work hard and give me their best.

Lee Taylor

Programmes Trained in: SitFit, LitePace

Commenced Instructing: 1981

Why I love it: I have been teaching the Les Mills programme and trained in other programmes for many years now. I really love seeing the difference it makes to those that attend, from improved fitness levels through to just basically feeling good about yourself. It really is never too late to start, you just gotta want to!
