Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award

I have never thought of myself as an athlete? so what defines an 'athlete'? To me an athlete is an individual who is elite when it comes to events, training and participates in sport at a high level. But i soon came to realise, I am an ultra runner, I love training, I play hockey at a competitive level and play representative national hockey, I have made it to the highest level in my sports, representing NZ at the masters level. So an 'athlete' is anyone that trains, plays sports and races with intent. And as a consequence, Redefining Athleticism was born-finding the inner athlete, that is there for taking! I have had and still to date, the opportunity to train some incredible humans and here is what they have to say; " I am very grateful that I have met Vandana, and I get to call myself a proud member of the RA fitness family! I love getting to work out outside with an awesome group of people, that continue to keep me motivated and keep me coming back for more. Vandana brings a wonderful positive energy no matter what the weather, and continues to deliver a fun, challenging and inclusive program each week. No matter what your fitness or ability level Vandana is able to help you reach your full potential and achieve your fitness goals.’ ''I highly recommend Vandana and Redefining Athleticism. Vandana is very professional and supportive - her encouraging style and the positive culture she nurtures within group means you have fun, but also want to push that bit harder. She is knowledgeable and adapts your exercises to work with injuries. I joined the group following a major injury and found it a key part of my recovery, which I am very grateful for.'' "I have doing V's classes for the last three years and highly recommend V as a trainer. She works with small groups of like minded people and supports everyone to achieve individual goals. She offers really varied exercises so there is something for everyone. When I started with V I really didn't like boxing, now it is my favourite thing to do!! My fitness, strength and confidence has continued to grow over the time that I have been working with V. The added bonus is meeting other lovely, supportive people along with exercising outdoors - you can't beat that, summer or winter!!! " "You do so much for us outside of normal boot camp. I love the sense of community we have. I don't think I could get out of bed for another group and trainer."
