Personal training, in a comfortable, supportive space
Feel anxious at the thought of a big commercial gym? Unsure what to do or worried everyone’s watching? You’re not alone. That’s why I offer private personal training sessions from my welcoming home studio in Pōkeno.
It’s just you and me (or bring a friend if you’d like), working together on your goals in a supportive, pressure-free space. No judgement, no overwhelm – and no men. Just a safe, fun environment where you can focus on you.
We’ll start with a relaxed 20 minute chat in your first session to talk through your goals, any injuries, and to get to know each other. From there, I’ll design one-on-one sessions to build your strength, fitness, and confidence.
And when you’re ready, you’ll have the option to join my friendly small group classes – where you’ll still get personal guidance, plus the motivation and energy of a supportive community.

Love coming to Sam's classes, its not just exercise, Sam makes it a lot of fun and ive learnt so much about myself.
Barre class has been a total game changer for me - I am fitter and more flexible than I have ever been thanks to Sam. As someone with the attention span of a flea, I also appreciate how every class is different, and ensures we work the entire body. I have harassed many of my friends into coming and they realised quickly how right I was about barre class! Highly recommend, we are so lucky to have Sam available to us in Pokeno.
My daughter and I both love Pokeno BARRE Fitness. The modern ballet classes for girls are fun and engaging and the adult exercise classes really help you to build muscle and get fit. Sam is an encouraging instructor and provides a supportive environment for achieving your dance or fitness goals.
