Janelle Rathgen has been working in the area of Women’s fitness since completing her degree in 2005. From an exercise consultant, personal trainer and a group fitness instructor, it would be fair to say that there are few more qualified to offer guidance to the women of South Canterbury on their fitness journey!
“Hi there! I’m Janelle, the Owner and Instructor/Trainer here at Nurture Fitness. I absolutely love the work I do. To be able to work alongside women of all ages and stages of their fitness journey, is a huge privilege to me, and I am motivated every day by these wonderful women and their progress.
I live on our family farm 20 minutes south of Timaru, and I am lucky to have three lovely primary aged children. Since having my children, I developed a real interest in the Pilates methodology as a way to heal the body after the demands of childbirth and also injury recovery. I have studied hard to ensure that I can offer a safe and effective exercise option post children or when recovering from an injury or even building a base level of fitness – and I love it!
I welcome you to contact me to discuss if we can work together on “Nurturing” your body and mind, working together to ensure safe and effective results. I look forward to meeting you soon”.
