🚧 Heads up team! 🚧

Apologies for the late notice - we’ve got some construction happening in the circuit room from 7:30am tomorrow so that space will be temporarily closed off.

We’ll have some of the circuit room cardio gear set up in the main gym and spin room so you can still get a solid session in 💪

Thanks for your patience while we level things up!

Unlock more from one machine 🔓🍑

The Multi Hip is one of the most underrated strength tools in the gym.
Here are 3 powerful variations you can use to build stronger glutes and hips 👇

Set Up (for all variations)

– Adjust height to suit
– Adjust leg pad to suit (may need to play around with pad for individual use)
– Adjust the arm to switch sides and to choose how much range of motion you want to use.

• Kickbacks

– Pad sits behind the knee
– Kick back directly behind you
– Slow and controlled movement

• Adduction

– Pad goes on the inside of the leg
– Cross your centreline with control
– Focus on squeezing through the inner thigh

• Abduction

– Pad goes on the outside of the leg
– Drive the leg outwards laterally from your centreline
– Stay tall and controlled

Strong hips = better performance, better stability, better results 💪🔥

Save this for your next lower body session ✔️

✨New staff member ✨

Introducing our newest team member, Sonya!

A lot of you will have already seen Sonya around as the gym is basically her second home 😅 here’s a little bit about her!

After moving from Wellington 7 years ago, Sonya is excited to now be stepping into a new chapter and making the change from a 28-year career in hairdressing into the fitness industry.

“I’ve been training at SN for the past 3 years after my husband first dragged me along, and now you can’t keep me away!”

Being in hairdressing for so long means Sonya has always loved being around people and having a good chat. She is also a proud mum to three beautiful daughters.

Sonya loves the variety the gym offers and enjoys mixing things up with weight training, cardio, and classes, so she is really looking forward to this new journey.

Sonya is excited to be part of the team and the community, so make sure you come say hello next time you’re in the gym!
