✨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!

‼️ Public Holiday Reminder ‼️

There will be no classes this Monday and the gym will be unstaffed due to the public holiday!

But don’t worry, the gym is still open 24/7 and the sauna is running as usual.

Perfect chance to get in your own session or enjoy some recovery time 😌

And remember…it’s a holiday, not a free pass to leave your weights out 😅
