The Merivale team had a wonderful time at our annual Motus Symposium on Friday.

We were lucky enough to have Hamish Kerr and his team speak to us and to see the Olympic Gold Medal 🥇 What an incredible achievement. 2.34m is a hard height to touch, let alone jump over!!

Michaela took the team for a Reformer Pilates class at her studio Sculpt Reformer Pilates yesterday for In-Service Training. I think it’s fair to say they now have a newfound appreciation when they ask their clients to perform a side plank! Peep a podiatrist in the red bandana 👀

A big welcome to Todd Astle who will be working with the team at Motus SportsHub

It is often stated that top level sport is all about the 'top two inches’, or ‘90% mental’, yet most of us don’t know where to turn to in order to create plans for developing the right mindset and one’s mental skills.
That’s why we’ve included qualified Mental Skills Coaches at Motus SportsHub to provide total care – body and mind.

Welcome to Mental Skills Coach Todd Astle. Todd is a proud Cantabrian and New Zealand Black Cap professional cricketer. Having faced his own fair share of challenges, triumphs and setbacks, both on and off the field, Todd has harnessed his experiences and learnings and aims to empower and encourage others to maximise their abilities through mental skills coaching.

If you’d like to develop strategies and skills to help you perform at your best every day, or help in overcoming setbacks following injuries, then feel free to get in contact with Todd by giving us a call at 03 9666 555.

Running is a beautiful way to get and keep fit. Some great words from a legend of competitive Ultra running to stop you getting stopped in your tracks.

One of Aotearoa’s greatest ultrarunners loves seeing people training during lockdown, but has some important advice to help them reach the finish line.
