POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

After months of hesitation, I’m finally sharing this : Finalist – 2025 ExerciseNZ Awards

January 2025 pushed me to walk away from a job that drained me, with no real plan except trusting my gut. Not long after, an Achilles injury left me unable to move freely for half a year, a huge setback.

But that time ended up teaching me more than I expected. I focused on learning: anatomy, nutrition, training. I’m grateful to have finished with an A and to be nominated for the NZ exercise award.

Most importantly, I learned to listen to my body, slow down, and appreciate the small things that came my way. I didn’t do everything perfectly, but I kept going and that’s what matters to me.

Thank you @autsportandrec for trusting me to represent you in the student category at the @exercisenewzealand Awards. It means a lot.
Shoutout to @anytimefitness.mtalbert for being my second home for the last 6 years, and now my workplace. Grateful for this full-circle moment.

Time to start running with @ultimateathlete_nz

Weekend highlights –

1. Finding this track so close to home
2. Getting back into running after a while and actually hitting a decent pace + HIIT
3. Dying alongside @maelysmoves
4. Discovering you can pair two sets of AirPods to the same phone on Spotify

Simple, easy and yummy.

Breakfast packed with 35g protein and 400 calories ( roughly)

Half cup egg white , 2 eggs ( here size 6, you do with what you have in hand) , 2 slices of Vogel’s, a bit of light Philadelphia ( for the love), handful of rocket and tomatoes, homemade dressing : mustard,olive oil and balsamic

Black coffee with splash of unsweetened almond milk.
( only because I am not a big fan of dairy)

I am not a chef, I like it simple and quick.

Cooking or eating well doesn’t have to be hard and take ages.

Meet MG,

MG has been on her journey for a while now, not always linear, but always finding her way back. This is what we called consistency and character.

Funny story : MG and I met on a plane June 2025 and 3 months later she was trusting me in her journey.

Over the last 7 months training together, she has lost over 10kg, -7cm off her hips, and -6.5cm off her waist.

But the number that matters most to her? How strong and powerful she feels in her body every single day. Passing from 1 RM at 200kg to 1RM at 320kg.

What made the difference wasn’t one thing. It was everything working together, showing up to train, moving her body consistently, avoiding stress ( as much as possible) dialling in her nutrition, and working alongside medical professionals to support a condition that made her journey even more challenging.

This is what a real, supported, multi-layered approach looks like. No shortcuts. No single answer. Just MG doing the work and trusting the process.

(And negotiating with me on her reps every single session aha)

Proud of you MG 💪🏽

Hip hinge — what & why:

A fundamental movement pattern that helps you move and lift safely and powerfully using your hips without stressing your lower back.

How to practice it:

1️⃣ Wall touch drill
Push your glutes back to touch a wall while keeping your feet planted, imagine your hips closing a door behind you.

2️⃣ 3-point spine check
Maintain contact at head, upper back, and lower back as you hinge, go as far as you can while keeping all three points aligned.

3️⃣ Hero squat
Slowly sit back onto your heels, staying controlled and stead) Feel your posterior chain (glutes & hamstrings) working.

Can be use also as warm up.

Hey there,

I’m Pauline — a qualified Personal Trainer.

A bit about me: I played competitive badminton for over a decade before transitioning to the gym, as my professional life no longer allowed me to train as much. Sport has always been a big part of my life — anything that involves moving, I’m all for it!

In 2019, I competed in an IFBB Bodybuilding competition and finished 3rd in my category. That experience deepened my passion for fitness and sparked the idea of turning it into a career. It also reinforced my belief in the importance of the mind–body connection and the value of proper guidance.

Now, I’m here to help you build confidence, lose weight, improve performance, stay healthy, and feel truly present in your body.

You can find me at Anytime Fitness Mt Albert 📍
(I don’t bite, always happy to have a chat)

I’m also new to social media ( not really but I am camera shy) so any tips or guidance are always welcome 🫶🏼
