Often as women, in our role as nurturers to others, we forget to nurture ourselves. At Nurture Fitness, we understand the daily demands of life—the juggle of family, work, and responsibilities—and how difficult it can be to carve out time for yourself. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming space where women can prioritise their health and well-being without guilt.

Nurture Fitness is a female-focused fitness studio in South Canterbury’s Timaru. At the helm is Janelle Rathgen, a passionate advocate for women’s health and fitness. With over a decade of experience specializing in women’s physical well-being, Janelle understands the unique challenges women face at different stages of life—from postnatal recovery to rebuilding strength after illness or injury.

Exercise is more than just movement—it’s an opportunity to recharge, rebuild confidence, and feel empowered. Janelle knows that regular movement can boost energy, strengthen the core, improve posture, and enhance mental well-being, all while creating a strong foundation for lifelong health.

With these needs in mind, Janelle has developed a child-friendly fitness studio offering Pilates classes and personal training, tailored specifically for women. Whether you are a new mother easing back into exercise, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking a supportive environment to move your body, Nurture Fitness provides safe, effective, and personalised training options.

At Nurture, we believe in community, connection, and self-care. Our studio is designed to be more than just a place to work out—it’s a space where women can escape the daily grind, connect with like-minded individuals, and focus on their well-being in a warm, judgment-free environment.

Join us at Nurture Fitness, where your health and happiness matter just as much as everyone else’s. It’s time to prioritise YOU.
