Together, with my guidance, you will learn to LIVE in each day, & not just live IN each day. You will learn to live on purpose, & create a life you LOVE.

Hey everyone! Welcome to my page. :)
This page was originally made so I can help and support you on your Health and Fitness journey, what ever it may be. After two years having this page open, I have taken a different course. I have worked in the gym industry for many years now. I have specialised in Group Fitness, and been a New Zealand Group Fitness Master trainer. I have trained many clients, t

rained Group Fitness trainers from both New Zealand and Australia, presented in both New Zealand and Australia, owned my own gym and I am a HUGE fan of the health and fitness world. I was lucky enough to train under one of THE most amazing ladies in the Fitness Industry, Ruth Pirihi. Ruth pushed me beyond limits I never knew were there, and she believed in me when I didn’t. “Sink or swim” was her motto, and she always chucked me in the deep end, and lucky enough, I found myself swimming each time. I am grateful to her for helping shape me into the person I am today. Also Joanne Melbourne, another lady who is known in the corporate world of fitness who has always supported me and has rated the work I do. Thank you. I decided I wanted to offer more to my clients, as I believed they could benefit from so much more than just physical training, if only THEY knew what that was. For years I thought that to look after myself meant that I need to like what I see in the mirror, I thought to be happy started from the outside in. My son was born in 2002, a couple years later I began my journey in learning about waka, and the kaupapa and tikanga behind it. I surrounded myself with many amazing people who taught me so much about who I really was, one man in particular, who sadly passed away early 2016, which he never did know what a huge role he played in my journey moving forward. Thank you Potaka x

Then after my partner passed away, my babys father, in 2009, my journey took another turn in direction, and I learned so much more AGAIN about myself, and things became clear on changes I needed to make, and to do this, I had to start "From The Inside Out"
I set out to seek guidance and support from those on more of a spiritual path, and higher knowledge or experience in the path I wanted to take. Jackie Campbell taught me to embrace my spiritual intuition that I always knew was there, however, chose to ignore it. Julia Pura-Mackenzie who introduced me to finding my “WHY” and the law of attraction. And last, but not least Lynda Watson, who was an amazing support person with her amazing knowledge and understanding. All of these people taught me so much, and helped me find my true happiness and helped me to become the person I am today. Using what I had learned from my experiences and all these people, I have created some amazing programs. The results have been life changing for many...literally. No matter where you are in life right now, there is always a way. With the right guidance, focus and support, I can help you take control of your journey, “Helping to find the true YOU From The Inside Out”
Everyone has a dream, and the only person who can make it reality is YOU! "Make a wish, Take a chance, Make a Change, Opportunities are like bubbles, if we don't pop them, they will just float by"

Respect yourself first, and the game changes 💯

When you earn self-respect, it builds true self-confidence and motivation. It helps you to create healthy boundaries and positive relationships with those around you.

It forms the foundation for mental health, building resilience, healthy self-esteem, and emotional stability.

Most importantly, self-respect allows you to experience true inner peace, happiness, and a meaningful life by prioritizing your own worth and well-being. 🫶🏽💜

It's been a week. Not only for me, but for my mini human 🙏🏽
Something I've noticed since Artis was born is how kids are expected to "be ok" to adjust and follow adults through their chaos.

Kids get tired, moan, cry, play up, and are then labeled naughty, told to be quiet, and told they've misbehaved. Because ADULTS expect the child to "be ok" and just "go with it."

I've had many, the past two years, comment on how good Artis is, how she just "fits into my life" and rolls with my life chaos.

Firstly, I'm grateful to be in a position to balance all 7 life aspects with my mini in tow. So that helps. 🙏🏽

Second, I prioritize myself and my happiness. As a result, it means I'm in a more content space to be able to make better decisions and not move to please others. I move for me and mine. 🫡

Over the past week, we have done ALOT of people-ing. We've been around a lot of different energies and emotions. We've traveled back and forth to Hawkes Bay a couple of times. Juggled work. Swimming lessons. Dance. Dancing again. Some "late nights" for Artis, who is normally asleep by 6.30pm, and all the in betweens. 🫠

To help keep her happy, I've still prioritized stopping with purpose. I made time to dance and sing with her. We didn't stay at the marae, but with my Aunty and Uncle, so she could reset and have down time in the quiet.
I kept to her diet as best as possible. (Diet plays a huge part. But that's a whole other post 🙄)

The thing is. Artis doesn't just fit into my life. I've created a lifestyle that works for us both.

Kids shouldn't be expected to just "go with the flow." They're little humans who still have emotions, feelings, energy levels that peak, and that drain to empty.
Some kids are social. Some aren't.
Some, like us, depends on their environment and those around them.
And because they're only children, its up to US to be their comfort space, and to make sure they're heard.

I'm always so proud of the way my girl soldiers through her little life. She's the frikn man. Don't get me wrong, she's 2, so of course, she has her little moments, but overall, she's the coolest little sidekick I never would have asked for. 🧩🫶🏽

Past me was once a Radical Fitness NZ Master Trainer. It was a time that helped me to connect that little more with who I am. It helped me find the confidence I had buried inside of me, and it gave me the strength to have a voice in front of hundreds of people, when normally, I'd shy away.
It gave me the opportunity to travel and meet so many amazing people, many I'm still friends with today.

I was trained by the best in the industry. She believed in me and would always throw me in the deep end. "Sink or swim" was her motto, and thankfully, each time, I swam.

Quite a few years ago, my journey took a different direction as I focused on my wellness coaching. My workshops, retreats, and one on one's. I hung up the GF mic, and I never looked back...

Until three weeks ago, when one of my "OGs" asked if I could teach Oxigeno again 🙏🏽🫶🏽

The need for a class like Oxigeno in the community is high. People always complain about how their bodies don't move the way they "used to" or how they want them to.

After thinking about it for... well, maybe an hour or two. I now have a good balance and handle on my day to day schedule, so I decided, why not add it to my life chaos.
And here we are....

Saturday was my first class back, with a beautiful intimate class of 13, it was perfect. The chimes of the bell, the music, the choreography, it was familiar. It was like I never left. It's was the perfect addition to what I already offered.

Oxigeno is built on the foundation of pilates and yoga to enhance your flexibility and mobility.

If you would like to give Oxigeno a go, don't hesitate to message me for more details. 🙏🏽

Some benefits of Oxigeno are;
🌱 Inner strength boost
🌱 Back and waist pain relief
🌱 Mobility and flexibility increase
🌱 Core strengthening
🌱 Limb tension release
🌱 Breathing Enhancement
🌱 Bone density increase
🌱 Muscular strength balance

To create a life with time flexibility, freedom flexibility, and life chaos options wasn't, and isn't easy, but it's moments like this, I'm glad I put in the work.

As I was driving home from Auckland 2am Friday morning, I was reflecting on what just happened. A 24-hour mission, at the drop of a hat, to spend time with a friend. 🤎

When you can rearrange your "tomorrow" at the last minute, to travel away for the day, (with my mini in tow) it's a reminder as to why I have done what I have over the years. The hours I've put in. The sacrifices I've made. It's creating a lifestyle that works for me and mine.

Obviously, this is what I teach in my work. How to create a life you can love. How to balance all life aspects, and not get stuck in lifes "rat race".
How to actually LIVE the life you have.

However, it's has become so normal for me now that I forget how far I've come. Until moments like this, when I can reflect on it, it's that slow nod moment, a bit of a pat on the back, and a "we did it." 🙏🏽

Life can be amazing. But we do need to put in the work. It's hard. You just need to be harder. xx

Side note - if you don't follow me on Instagram, then you won't know the 24 hour mission I'm talking about. Remember, if you want more insite to my life chaos and want to see me living what I teach, follow me over on Instagram at " azaniapekepo "

Social media. It's a mindf**k but I wouldn't be able to do what I do without it.

I was recently asked, how do I attract my clients through social media?

My main Instagram isn't really for family and friends, it's for those who can connect with what I'm putting down.

A lot of social media is full of false promises, filters, and false expectations.

We must only post positive things, the fun stuff, the wins only, the rainbows, the unicorns, and any other false reality, just in case people get offended or so that your life looks a certain way.

But reality is, life is far from perfect. And it's not only filled with wins.

So, how does my Instagram attract my clients?
I keep it real. I don't change who I am to create a false reality, I just do me. I show those looking for more, how they can take control of their journey to create a life they can LOVE.

It's for those who can relate, or those who like to see some truth and reality. Some like to have a laugh at something random. Or there's the ones who are motivated at seeing growth through the struggles and see not only the ups, but the downs as well. Then there are those who want to know, "how can I do this?"

Maybe you've gone through hardship and came from the hood and want to make changes too.
Maybe you're a single mum who finds it tough and needs to know you CAN still do what you want to do. You're stronger than you think.

It's for those who were maybe once aggressive and angry, or whose families are in gangs, and know no different.

Or maybe it might just appeal to the average person who has had a beautiful life but is just "stuck."

My client base walks all different paths, and in some way, I can relate to them ALL.

I'm not for everyone, and that's how I like it. We aren't meant for everyone's puzzle. 🧩

But, I am for those who connect with me by sharing my journey, my past, and my growth.

I have built an amazing client base and even some awesome online friendships through social media by doing me and just keeping it real. 💯✌🏽

Life can be hard. We just need to be harder.
With the right tools and action put in place. Anyone can live a life they love. 🫶🏽

I have one online or in person coaching spot available. PM for details 🫶🏽🙏🏽

If you don't know what sparks your soul, then you haven't done enough things to let yourself know what you're attracted to.

Get out and do more of what makes you smile. Genuinely smile.

Stop settling for surface happiness and search for the sense of true happiness that reflects from the inside out.

A sense of peace, joy, and most importantly, freedom.

I'm often asked where I get my energy to do all that I do. The secret is simple, say yes more!

Find what makes you happy and do that often. ✌🏽🫶🏽🕊

Happy Friday eve humans! x
