experienced Fitness and wellness trainer!

HI! I AM SAM! I’M A PERSONAL FITNESS TRAINER BASED IN AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND!

Training with

safety

For me, personal training has never just been about ticking off sets and counting steps. It’s about how you feel while you do it and what it helps you become. I believe true progress happens when you feel safe and that is when the body and mind work together.

That’s why every part of the session and all my services are delivered with intention from warm up to cool down, to every movement cue. The communication is there to support you; and give you confidence, clarity, and long-term emotional safety to carry through on that progress.

With a background in psychology, I bring insight into how mindset, motivation and emotional readiness all shape physical progress so you're not just working out, you're building wellbeing (emotional and physical strength) that lasts.

I train with Emotional and physical safety!

(Coping with 10 years of depression and bipolar disorder, gave me the experience to apply emotional awareness consistently.)

I have first hand experience with struggling to keep weight off, (dealing with mental health issues too), and losing it too quickly. You need someone who knows the struggle and can be there to support you every step of the way. That’s where I come in.

My services range

from professional personal training to remedial massage therapy.

My portfolio and in the PT advice and tips section of the main page, shows off many clients of mine who have been able to succeed in their own ways. There’s no one solution that works for everybody, so my role in their success was to help guide them while accomodating to each lifestyle. We work together to create safe and sustainable programs with less burnout, more consistency and most importantly, more progress!

  • Basic to Advanced Lifter

    Skills don’t need to be advanced.

    Most clients start with very little knowledge; but are able to make huge progress!

    Photo above- 2021- 60kg barbel; 2022- 120kg barbel!

    Started not being able to do bodyweight squats.

    He’s truly a remarkable human being! :)

  • Flexible and Functional

    Training is catered towards the person’s fitness level or health needs.

    For a-lot of clients, in order to get them lifting safely (prevent injury) we have to focus on movement to prevent that.

    So, what one person will lift will be completely different to the way another person does.

  • Size doesn't matter

    Don’t need to have a-lot of exercise experience, muscle in order to start; and its usually the smallest people who surprise me the most.

    Photo above- 30kg backbar squats; (weighs 50kgs; +6kg muscle gain over 2.5 years).

    Genuinely amazing work shown by this person; (her determination and mental strength; most importantly her kindness) :)

  • Anyone can learn

    From my experience; there is no such thing as purely a bad student; only a bad teacher. (Or most likely an impatient one).

    If there needs to be lots of repetition; or none at all; then great; so long as it gets you to doing the movement safely. (Doesn’t matter to me).

    It also means I try to hold myself to high standard to remember this.

  • Enjoyable

    Can’t have consistency without making it enjoyable.

    Training or doing anything to get something done can be a long and tedious process; so my philosophy is why not make it fun, or most importantly a safe place to go to destress.

    Cracking some joke if appropriate after a hard day at work.

    Or just talking about what you find interesting.
