On my down time I hangout with mates or family, love movies , especially horror’s, lover of all animals. If you are ever around the gym come try a class they look scary but seriously they are not !! And it’s always great to push yourself to try new things xx

Currently I am teaching the Low Impact class every Thursday morning. This class was designed for our senior ladies but don’t let the grey hair fool you, these ladies are full of energy and lots of sass!! I also wear the hat of Group Fitness Manager, so if you’re enthusiastic about teaching classes and can bring lots of your positive energy, come and see me!!

Hi I'm Kim and I've been teaching RPM at Evolve for over 10 years now.
I have always been involved in fitness and outdoor activities dating back to 1983 (yes 1983!) when I was selected in the NZ Track Cycling Development team. I have run a few marathons in recent times and enjoy mountain running events where I compete with my wife for 'first home' honours!
Family life revolves around my wife of 19 years (Dee) and our two children, James (33yr) and Ashlee (19yr). Most summer weekends we are often away camping lakeside and wakeboarding enjoying what NZ has to offer!
In my day job I own and run a product design & development firm called Idea Developments which fills my week days (and nights) with interest and passion for design and detailing, along with our manufacturing operation (Idea-China) in Shenzhen, China.
I have a passion for teaching RPM, from both a fitness and technical aspect, and connecting with members to see their improvements overtime. I welcome any new (or old) members keen to try a RPM class, and as I always say... "do the class at your level and take time to feel the difference as you get stronger"

Kia Ora, I am Jemma. Sport, fitness and well-being, family, education, teaching and travel are the heart of my journey in life. It is hard to believe that I have been involved in the Fitness Industry for over 30 years. Over that time I have met many friends, colleagues and people who have shared a similar passion.
I have been privileged to cycle throughout NZ and Hawaii sharing and promoting well being through USO bike ride. Our purpose has been to promote a healthier lifestyle and also a need to have regular health checks amongst Maori and Pacific men for prostate cancer.
I now know what grandparents meant when they said having grandchildren is a whole new and amazing experience. I am blessed to have a beautiful 4 year old grandchild who with my biased view is simply amazing.

Hey I'm Christina and I teach the Body Attack class on a Thursday night. I have 3 children along with working & studying this year. More importantly my favourite 3 Netflix series would be Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Money Heist, what's yours? Any Netflix recommendations would be much appreciated. I love the group fitness classes as I HATE running, and I imagine everyone in the class is my close friend and we are at a dance party so if that's you too, I would definitely recommend coming along!

Hi, I teach 1 of the Les Mills group fitness classes – RPM. With RPM I have participants who have had success in toning up, losing weight and looking forward to the next class of the challenging indoor cycling workout without the hassles of traffic and the weather. See you there.

Hi I’m Helen and I take Body Balance classes at Evolve Fitness where I have worked part time for nearly 15yrs as a Group Fitness Instructor although I’ve been in the industry since Wellington 1988. At home/work is my hubby and we’ve got 3 grown daughters that’s resulted in 6 grandchildren ranging from 0-13yrs old. We also love animals. Fortunately family are mainly local so between them, my 2 p/t jobs, the smooth running of home and garden and caravan getaways, time is generally well occupied.

Hi I’m Helen and I’ve been at Evolve in Feilding since February 2017 though I’ve been involved with the fitness industry as an instructor for over 24 years! OMG! As a kid I was into competitive gymnastics and then in my early twenties reignited my love of dance and became a performer and a dance instructor. I have lived in 4 different countries, however the longest I’ve lived anywhere was Taihape.
I’ve been married to Simon for almost 28 years and have 16 year old twins Luca and Sophie. I currently teach Body Pump at Evolve.
I enjoy the season of summer, reading, attempting cryptic crosswords, tennis, walking our dog Louis, stand up paddle boarding and spending time with my family. I have my own business providing on-site chair massage to busy professionals in both Feilding and Palmerston North. I love both my jobs as they keep me fit and I meet a lot of people.

Lisa Mordaunt
Hey, I'm Lisa and I am a BodyStep and BodyBalance Les Mills Instructor. Group Fitness is my passion and I have been hooked ever since I attended my first class as a teenager. Originally from the UK, I am now lucky enough to call New Zealand my home. I live with my brilliant husband, and had our three gorgeous little ladies in Palmy North. Outside the gym we are super busy running a business, whilst leading a full and active life; full of activities, sports, events and adventures.
I originally trained as an Instructor while at home with my babies, to turn my passion into a reality (and motivate myself back into shape). My goal is to bring energy, knowledge and heaps of enthusiasm, to each and every class. I love seeing people inspired, having fun, and achieving their own unique fitness goals.

Hi, I’m Kate and I’m a class instructor and customer liaison at Evolve. I currently teach the low impact class on Thursday morning and fingers crossed will be teaching some Les Mills classes in the very near future! I grew up in Wellington and moved to Feilding in 2021. I absolutely fell in love with Evolve, and routinely joked with the staff “I live at the gym, so I might as well get paid for it” and so here I am!!
