Fit With Hayz - Taupō PT

Nutrition and training go hand in hand, you can not have one without the other! You can't build muscle without challenging your muscles and without eating enough variety of foods, your cardio system won't function well, your energy will be low, your hormones will be unbalanced, you will reach for sugar at 3pm, and more!

Change just 1 habit today, work on that for a whole week or 2, then add your next habit. This avoids overwhelm.

You can't expect to eat cake and lollies everyday just because it fits your macros and calories for the day. Some foods are treat foods, other foods are daily foods. Learn the difference.

10km Done ✔️ It's Not Always About the PB

I did it! Another 10km run banked. 🏃‍♀️🎉

This year was different.

Last year, I was chasing a PB. This year, I was simply out there to enjoy the scenery and be part of the experience.

But there was also a deeper reason.

I wanted to inspire my friends to give it a go for the very first time.

Why?

Because movement is movement.

Don't get me wrong—I will always preach strength training because the health benefits are incredible, and it's still my favourite way to train.

But I also know that strength training isn't what everyone enjoys, and for some people it can feel really intimidating to start. Others would much rather head out for a run.

And you know what? I'd much rather see someone running, walking, swimming, cycling, or doing any form of movement than sitting on the couch doing nothing.

Find something you enjoy and start there. (Yes... I'm still going to encourage you to add strength training too! One step at a time though, right? 😉💪)

The best exercise is the one you'll actually stick to.

If I can be the inspiration or motivation that helps someone take that first step, then every kilometre is worth it—even if running isn't my favourite thing to do.

Fitness doesn't have to be all or nothing.
These are three things you'll never hear me tell my clients:

🥔 "Cut out carbs."
Carbohydrates are your body's preferred energy source. Instead of eliminating them, I help clients choose the right types to support their goals.

⚖️ "The scales reflect your success"
Progress is about so much more than a number. Energy, strength, confidence, better sleep, healthier habits, how your clothes fit, and improved fitness all matter too.

🍕 "Stop eating the foods you love."
If your plan doesn't fit your real life, it probably won't last. I believe in teaching clients how to build balanced meals while still enjoying their favourite foods—because sustainable habits always beat perfection.

My goal isn't to give you a list of rules.
It's to help you understand why you're making changes, build habits that actually stick, and create a healthier lifestyle you can maintain for years—not just a few weeks.

Health isn’t built from one single habit — it’s the combination of the small choices we make consistently. 🤍

There is so much more to health than just the number on the scale.

Building strength, fuelling your body, looking after your mental health, prioritising recovery, and creating sustainable habits all play a role in helping you feel your best.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s progress, consistency, and building a lifestyle that supports you long term. 💪🏼

Which one of these foundations are you focusing on right now? 👇🏼

Save this as a reminder that your health journey is about the bigger picture. ✨

Haylee has been an absolute godsend. My journey has not been a straight line, and I am certainly not finished yet.

I have been through some really tough times during the past six months, including periods where my eating completely went off the rails. Haylee has never once made me feel bad about it. Instead, she has always been supportive, encouraging and helped me focus on the things I could do to get back on track.

When I first started with Haylee, my body was inflamed, I was in pain, my mobility was shocking, and I couldn't even do one squat. The reason I started this journey was to get my body functioning properly again, and Haylee has been instrumental in helping me achieve that.

She has taught me how to move my body correctly and safely, helping me build strength in the supporting muscles and adapting my programmes around improving my functionality and mobility so that I can progress without constantly injuring myself.

I have come so far since that first session — and let's just say the squat has now become one of Haylee's favourite exercises to give me!

Through all of life's ups and downs, Haylee has been a constant for me. Even during periods where my eating hasn't been great, I have still achieved some pretty great results by sticking to the basics she has taught me.

I have improved my muscle mass, made progress with my body composition, and my clothes are finally starting to tell the story. Even my posture has improved.

Haylee is not just a personal trainer who tells you what exercises to do. She genuinely invests in helping you, educating you and supporting you through the entire process.

If you are looking for a personable personal trainer who genuinely cares about helping you achieve your goals, I couldn't recommend Haylee enough. Just not too much… I need her all to myself!
