Nige can offer outdoor skill based sessions either privately or small groups to teach you technique and technical skills. basic bike handling skills, improve running technique through little drills specific to you, or tips and tricks to transition faster and easier.

Boot Camp Nelson

Nige is one of the trainers who takes Bootcamp sessions for Boot Camp Nelson. These sessions are suitable for all fitness levels as you work at your own pace and intensity, but in a fun, supportive, group environment. All sessions are outdoors (unless wet, where we go to a local indoor gym), at a few different Nelson locations. We utilise the outdoor environment and our own body weight to create full body session to develop your strength, endurance and fitness all in one.

Meet Nige,

I like to work towards a supportive teaching, coaching, learning environment from myself to the athlete or client. I like two way communication and feedback to improve individual development as each person adapts and responds differently, therefore training programs need to be adjusted accordingly.

My goal oriented training philosophy is to allow a mutually shared direction, with positive feedback and constructive criticism between parties. Long term I want to provide the athlete or client with the ability and skills that can enable further development and self learning.
