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.
What are the benefits of a Personal Trainer?
- Build strength & stamina without feeling judged

- Transition into a fun, social group environment at your own pace
Who should opt for Personal Training?

I cannot rate Samantha highly enough as a personal trainer. The way she coaches is both understanding and motivating, truely personalising her approach to the people in front of her, including the ability to work seamlessly with those with autoimmune conditions.

I tried a cup of RUDE Organic Nootropics Coffee that Sam sells on her online shop. I was pleasantly surprised after trying this coffee. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the flavour was smooth, rich , and well balanced – not bitter at all. I would definitely recommend this product.

I love how it’s a boutique studio and so, Sam, our instructor, can really correct our poses, and provide almost individualized guidance, etc. I’m really glad we have these classes in Pokeno because I don’t have to travel to Pukekohe. It’s also great that there are now options for day-time classes, for those of us who work from home or just want to do their fitness regime earlier in the day. Sam is an excellent fitness instructor.

I cannot recommend Barre Fitness enough! Sam is a fantastic instructor — her classes are challenging but fun, and I always leave feeling stronger, energised, and motivated. My daughter also does her dance classes here and absolutely loves it! Sam creates such a positive, nurturing vibe that’s really helped her grow in confidence and just have fun with dance. If you’re looking to get fit, try something new, or give your child a great place to dance, give Barre Fitness a go!

I added the Hypee Electrolytes Watermelon flavor to my drinking water and really enjoyed it throughout my workout session. It tasted great and kept me feeling refreshed!

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.
