Exercise & training during and after pregnancy

She believes that regular exercise throughout pregnancy can really help to combat the associated tiredness and makes it easier to regain your figure after the birth; having lost 20kg since the birth of her son, and most importantly kept it off!

Testimonials

"Annette was simply born to be a personal trainer! Having just completed and achieved my goal for  the 12 Week Challenge, I can thoroughly recommend Annette, whose kick boxing background added some punch to the workouts. Annette has an engaging personality which really adds to her impressive technical knowledge" -Nigel S, Christchurch

"I recommend Annette as a personal trainer as she is quietly assertive, a good motivator and a good role model. Annette helped me firm up and tone my “wobbly bits” without “getting in my face”. She has not only offered me invaluable exercise and fitness advice, she has also enabled me to make healthier dietary choices and lifestyle changes that I feel certain I will maintain in the long term". -Shelly T, Christchurch (Diet Coke/Sex in the City Makeover competition winner)
