MATAKANA
The timetable changes each week. It goes up on Instagram and Facebook, so follow along to see what's on.
Pilates + strength
Think mat Pilates, but turned up a notch.
A fusion of Pilates and functional strength training, targeting your glutes, abs and stabilising muscles. Expect a fast-paced class, a banging playlist and that satisfying muscle burn.
Suitable for all levels, with options to modify movements.
High energy
If you like your Pilates with a side of sweat, this one's for you.
Combining mat Pilates with heart-pumping HIIT, this class brings together glute and ab burners, Tabata-style intervals and pumping music. A full-body workout designed to build strength, challenge your cardiovascular fitness and leave you feeling energised.
All levels welcome, with modifications available. Big tunes. Big energy. Big sweat.
Strength & conditioning
Lift strong. Move well. Build muscle for life.
A structured strength and conditioning class to help you build muscle, improve fitness and feel stronger. Working through progressive six-week training blocks, we focus on compound lifts, varying reps and loads, and progressive overload to build strength over time. Expect proper strength training, technique-focused coaching and conditioning finishers.
Suitable for all levels, whether you're new to weights or already love lifting.
One-on-one & small group
Personalised coaching. Stronger for life.
One-on-one or small group coaching tailored to your goals, experience and individual needs.
Starting with an assessment, we'll build a personalised programme incorporating strength training, progressive overload and Pilates-inspired core control and breathing techniques.
Whether you're looking to build strength, improve movement or regain confidence in your body, we'll work together to help you progress.
A little about me
I've always had a huge passion for fitness, movement and the way it makes us feel, both physically and mentally. Creating Fit Shed Matakana has given me the opportunity to share that passion in a welcoming, supportive space.
I'm a mum of two busy, active kids, and I love being outdoors, whether it's surfing, hiking, playing tennis or simply getting out and moving. For me, exercise isn't just about being fit or looking a certain way. It's about feeling strong, having energy and being able to enjoy the things we love for years to come. I believe strength training, conditioning and Pilates play a huge part in helping us move well, prevent injuries and age well.
I'm a Level 4 qualified, REPs-registered personal trainer, with Level 1 and 2 Mat Pilates qualifications through Suna Pilates and a HIIT Pilates certification through HiYoga. I've also owned and run a busy BFT studio in Auckland, and I'm continuing to develop my knowledge around supporting women through perimenopause and menopause.
I love helping people discover what their bodies are capable of, build confidence and develop healthy habits that last the distance.
But Fit Shed is about more than exercise. I love the sense of community here in Matakana and wanted to create a space where everyone feels welcome, supported and part of something.
If you leave the Shed feeling a little stronger, a little happier and a little more confident than when you arrived, then I'm doing what I set out to do.
