Meet the Team
Danny Montague
Gym Instructor/Les Mills Group fitness instructor
Hi everyone!!!
My background is in massage, I've done a double diploma extensively covering anatomy and physiology, sports injuries and rehabilitation.
I have completed a Fitness Instructor Certificate at AUT University & I am a certified Les Mills group fitness instructor in BodyPump & BodyBalance.
I love sports, both watching & competing. I competed in triathlon for 5-6 years, with the highlight of my short career being making the U23 elite women's triathlon team in 2007. I have now adventured into mountain biking, and prefer to do my sports separately these days. Running half marathon distance is my favourite.
The fitness industry is so diverse these day & everybody has different needs & wants, so make sure as a member you utilise myself & Vici to achieve the results you are after.

I began my journey in the Fitness Industry 13 years ago. After completing a Sport & Rec Course, doors opened to employment in my first Fitness Facility as Gym Instructor, this lead to a position a Fitness Studio Supervisor within a Community Operated facility. I continued to study with EIT (Napier) in Dip Rec & Leisure Studies and with Network for Fitness Professional(Netfit) in Fitness Instructor Personal Trainer Certificate. My passion is to work with people for people. The key is to work together with consistency at aiming for long term benefits in health, fitness and life-style changes. Im approachable and here for you!!!
Fiona (Freddy) Gates
Fitness Instructor
Always an enthusiastic sports person; competitive swimming in the UK led me into the fitness industry many moons ago as a swimming instructor. After a break and several years guiding tourists across Africa I made NZ my home to work in the Adventure Tourism industry where a further few years were spent instructing rock climbing and kayak guiding before going back to my roots... the swimming pool. I have spent the past 2 years instructing swimming and aqua fitness at the AC Baths and gaining qualifications in Group Fitness and Aquatics... I'm the newest member of Team Fitness Studio dividing my time between the pools and the gym... where you can come and join me in a Les Mills RPM class or, for the hard core: CXWorx!! My aim is to promote fun and healthy lifestyle choices that are achieveable for everyone.
