Women’s Fitness Studio - Hastings

Maria from Parkvale

From 1 April, I will be the new owner of the Women’s Fitness Studio in Hastings 🌟

A bit about me, Maria Pearson:

* Registered Exercise Professional - REPs registered
* BPhEd and MPhEd - University of Otago
 
My focus is women's health. I am passionate about healthy aging and staying well and robust as we get older. I’ve run a number of public talks on the topic.

I have previously worked at EIT where I was a researcher and lectured human anatomy and physiology to first year nursing students.

There will be no changes in the gym initially but there may be some interesting changes as I get settled in.

I will spend time in the gym (916 Heretaunga Street East, Hastings) starting Tuesday 7th February at different times.
 
I am excited about meeting everyone at the Women's Fitness Studio and sharing my knowledge and ideas!

Message me if you have any queries.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
