My Rehab Fitness is a five-star rated gym at 42 Monte Cassino Place in Birkdale, on Auckland's North Shore, helping busy women build physical and mental strength through a flexible, weights-based exercise programme. Run by a three-times Commonwealth Games weightlifter, Certified Rehab Trainer and Pilates instructor named PT of the Year at the 2020 NZ Exercise Industry Awards, it offers one-to-one training, group programmes, mat and reformer Pilates, and online plans supported by a training app.
In strength training generally, consistency beats intensity: a programme you can keep up around work and family will always outlast a punishing plan abandoned in a fortnight. Good gyms start with your history — old injuries, postnatal core weakness, posture — and scale the load to suit, so you get stronger without aggravating niggles. Many women find weights training especially rewarding for that: gains come steadily and carry into everyday life.
For Birkdale women after sustainable strength, it's right on the doorstep.
