Meet Our Staff 

 

Principal

Hello, I'm Ian. bodyzone is the culmination of a vision I have had for many years. As the Principal, I have quietly worked behind the scenes of the gym since operating the Contours Franchise in 1997. My association with fitness however goes back a lot further to my days of regularly working out whilst completing my degrees at Training College.

With bodyzone I will be more visible and I am looking forward to actively working with the wonderful team at  bodyzone. I look forward to meeting you all at some time.

 
Matt

General Manager

Matt has extensive experience in Business and Brand Management. He has completed a degree in Psychology and Sociology at Auckland, and has studied professional management at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. He has also completed his fitness papers and is very passionate about educating our members/corporates/ community by sharing the benefits of smart, time effective, measurable fitness solutions to improve our everyday performance.

New Zealand has a 'growing' population! "The influence of fast food, increased sedentary lifestyle, new technology and increased stress levels has lead to epidemic levels of obesity and other stress related diseases, in our work force, our community and our children." We have a responsibility to further educate our members/community/our children on the benefits of regular exercise and balanced nutrition.

Bodyzone can help you change your lifestyle in a safe, clean, professional environment to have a better quality of life for yourself, your family and friends. Many of our members have changed their lives, you can too! Whether you want to look good in your jeans, be more productive at work, or have more energy with the kids, be a better mum or dad, or you want to train for the ironman, bodyzone is your fitness solution!
