Primal Potential NZ is a personal training studio on Otumoetai Road in Tauranga, holding a 5.0 rating from eight Google reviews. Clients credit trainer Jarod with keeping them motivated long after New Year's resolutions would normally fade, with several singling out how much fun his sessions are.
A good personal trainer does more than count reps. Expect a first visit to cover your goals, injury history and current fitness before any real work begins, and a programme built around your life rather than someone else's. The regulars' secret is that consistency beats intensity: the best trainer is the one whose sessions you actually keep turning up to, week after week. Personality matters as much as qualifications, since you will spend hours with this person, so it pays to find one who makes the work enjoyable.
A trainer clients stick with for years is a rare find, and Otumoetai locals seem to have one just up the road.
