Y Fitness Centre Gisborne

The Power of showing up - Every class is better because of you! 😇

🌧️ When it’s cold and raining outside, finding the motivation to exercise can be tough — but sometimes it’s exactly what we need. 💪

At the Y, our team of qualified trainers can help you get started with a personalised workout programme at no extra cost, no matter your fitness level.

Meet Blaze Stafford-Nukunuku 👋

Blaze is a certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor and Hauora Advisor here at the Y. A proud mama of two beautiful tamariki, she hails from the mighty Te Puia Springs and has whakapapa to Ngāti Porou and Tainui.

"I’m passionate about helping people reach their goals in a supportive and motivating environment, and I love making fitness enjoyable and accessible for everyone," says Blaze.

Whether you're new to the gym, getting back into exercise, or looking to take your fitness to the next level, Blaze and the team are here to help.
