Nurture Fitness is a female-focused fitness studio at 183 Stafford Street in Timaru Central, with classes in Timaru and Waimate. It is led by Janelle Rathgen, who the website says has over a decade of experience in women's physical wellbeing, from postnatal recovery to rebuilding strength after illness or injury. The studio offers Pilates, reformer Pilates, postnatal exercise classes, small strength classes for up to five people, and personal training. The website says the studio is child-friendly, and that pregnant clients can take part in a safe exercise option. A timetable is on the website, and classes are described as suited to people of all ages and stages of life.
The website carries testimonials from clients. One describes Janelle's pre and postnatal work as a vital part of a recovery and a safe return to exercise, and another says Janelle's kind and caring nature makes people feel at ease from the start. Both describe a studio where women can focus on their own wellbeing.
