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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
