Nurture Fitness P.T is offered as both one-to-one, or one-to-two, so you can bring a friend. If you’re wanting to work on something specific, or you’re needing that little bit of extra encouragement and accountability to stay motivated, personal training will be ideal for you.
Personal Training
Janelle is registered as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor (own choreography) through the Register of Exercise Professionals NZ (REPs).
What is REPS?
REPs is the independent verification that the exercise professional is suitable to give exercise advice and/or instruct a group exercise/aerobics class. It is an ongoing annual subscription. To qualify for re-registration, individuals must undertake ongoing education and upskill each year. Individuals registered with REPs agree to follow the industry Code of Ethical Practice. REPs also operates a complaints system for any person that wishes to complain about a registered trainer or registered facility.
FAQs
No, but there are plenty of online workouts out there to choose from. It’s important to note that when you workout on your own at home, you may not know if you’re doing the exercise correctly. Small position changes during an exercise, or using the correct breathing can make all the difference. You can do a lot of damage to your body by doing exercises that are too hard too soon e.g making an abdominal separation worse, or worsening pelvic floor dysfunction. Nurture Fitness is safety focussed, so I only run small face-to-face classes, because I’m very passionate about ensuring my clients use the correct techniques and receive proper posture and breathing modifications wherever necessary.
Yes I recommend all new clients have an assessment before they start.
Please wait until you’ve been cleared by your midwife or GP. Once cleared, this doesn’t mean you can go straight into high intensity exercise. In most cases, the return to exercise programme at Nurture Fitness is suitable anytime from 6-8 weeks post-birth (depending on the birth), however in the interest of short and long-term safety, getting back to exercise is always assessed on an individual basis.
Usually not until you have been cleared by a women’s health physio. I don’t recommend running before 5 months post-birth.
Yes, children and babies are welcome during any daytime session.
Absolutely!
Yes absolutely! There are still plenty of options for someone with an abdominal separation. I will closely monitor your abdominal control during the exercises making sure you activate the correct muscles. I also build you up slowly as you’re ready for the harder exercises. I’m trained to check for separation, so I’m able to keep an eye that it’s improving and you’re regaining strength through your abdominals.
Yes, I’m very flexible with payment terms, just let me know about your situation.
I see the block has already started. Is it too late to join in or do I have to wait until next term?
It depends on the class. Pilates classes and Buggy Fit are fine to join at any time during the term. The Mums and Bubs Safe Return to Exercise runs as a 6 week block, so once it has started you’re unable to join, until the next round. A new group starts every 4 weeks, so simply join the waitlist for the next class. You can even book some one-on-one sessions while you wait.
Yes, I offer a mobile training service and I can bring fitness gear to you.
If you’re injured, I recommend you get checked out by a physiotherapist.
Yes, gift vouchers are available. Simply send an email to arrange an order, or pick one up after your next class.

Yes, personal training clients need to provide at least 24 hours notice, or 50% of the session price will need to be charged.
