Women’s Fitness Studio - Hastings
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?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
