In this week’s episode we have gone truly global, and speak with Christie from Active Soul, a fitness trainer in New Zealand focusing on health and fitness in women from their early 20s, through pregnancy, post partum and into the menopause.
Christie is an absolute powerhouse of enthusiasm, and she shares with us her journey from primary school teacher in Stepney, East London (where we met 20+ years ago!!), to award winning fitness trainer back in her home town in New Zealand.
We talk about how her business has changed from initially just focussing on new mums, to now including all stages of a women’s lifecycle. Christie is passionate about understanding how a woman’s body changes throughout their life, and how there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ option when it comes to exercising safely. Covid, like the rest of the world, forced her business into lockdown, but she managed to go online pretty much overnight and has now a hugely successful online membership programme available to everyone.
Join us on this fascinating chat about how important it is to have an exercise programme that is right for you, as well as reminiscing about nearly throwing up on a military boot camp and putting my son in a gym’s creche while I went and had coffee and cake!!!
