read moreDunedin’s #TeamTash Training has been named studio facility of the year at the 2022 New Zealand Exercise Industry Awards.
Judges for the annual ExerciseNZ awards noted that the business' thorough strategic planning as being key to the gym's recognition as evidenced through its meetings, training and culture.
#TeamTash Training says the little things they do in business has a big impact and the business’s team philosophy exemplifies this.
From a commercial perspective, the increase in member yield is more impressive from the judge’s perspective than the growth they have achieved.
Each #TeamTash session is personally designed by women for women. they keep class sizes small and personal to make sure we bring the best out in you every session. They are obsessed with seeing women support, encourage and empower each other.
The awards event also saw Auckland’s Christie Houghton named New Zealand’s personal trainer of the year.
With 12 years in the industry, Houghton, who works predominantly with women, says her biggest challenge as a fitness adviser is educating women around the understanding of their bodies, their physiology and training them to help them train better.
Houghton connects and collaborates with allied health professionals to find clarity around client needs to work towards results that are best for the client.
She uses a thorough pre-exercise screening, takes a stepping stone approach in early stages of client journey and offers her new clients the ability to begin training without overwhelming them.
Houghton says she starts with new clients honouring the space they are within now. This is done through a traffic light system of adjustment and pivoting around that space for training is critical.
