🌟 Meet Donna – our SUPER wonderful Motueka Better Breathers trainer! 🌟

We asked Donna a few questions about what makes Better Breathers special, and her answers are too good not to share 💙

✨ Her advice if you’re nervous about starting:
👉 Come along with a friend who already attends or
👉 Arrive a little early and have a chat with your trainer.
👉 And remember that everyone, even our trainers, had a first class once.

💬 One word to describe Better Breathers?
Beneficial. 🙌

🤣 Funniest moment?
When our super-fit 90-year-old burst into song, “He’s got the whole world in His hands”, while lifting a Swiss ball onto his shoulder.

💡 Donna’s top tips for keeping up exercise at home:
1️⃣ Make it part of your daily routine.
2️⃣ Prioritise it.
3️⃣ Choose exercises you enjoy.

💪 Whether it is building confidence, making friends, or feeling the benefits of regular exercise, Better Breathers is here for YOU. Everyone is welcome, and every step counts.
