The Lift Philosophy
The philosophy of Lift is simple. Lift is about life, it’s about giving you the capacity to live your best life. ‘Life in your years’ as opposed to ‘years in your life!’ We have a few mantras in our community! Including consistency is key, more than nothing, and progress not perfection! Our tag line Get Fit - Live Life - Be Strong sums our community up succinctly.

Why ME
My clients sum this up the best!
​
“I clicked with Amanda right away. I found her to be straight up, thorough, and passionate about what was on offer. Four years later I’m still coming twice a week!”
“I chose Lift because of Amanda, the way she is, the comfort of the private gym. The style of the work outs. The way sessions were tailer made for us ( whilst still being in a group.)”
“I was after genuine support for strength training and fitness rather than just building a perfect body, this is what Amanda offered. Having a relaxed chat before starting classes to discuss any questions I may have had was really helpful.”
​
“I met Amanda. end of story; kind, caring, flexible, wasn’t pushing for "results", understood it was about a lifestyle change. Organising walks and offering walks I would never have any opportunity to do otherwise (i.e Tongariro Crossing)
“I joined because of Amanda’s vibe - honest, approachable, not pretentious, or scary. It was obvious she knew your stuff while still being light-hearted and real. It made it less scary.”
“I was looking for an improvement in mental and physical fitness. When I met Amanda, I quickly knew I would be working with someone who would personally support me in getting personal shifts in home/work life patterns, without a sense of guilt, shame or unachievable prompting. It was the gentle accountability and the personalised, positive nature of the support Amanda described which got me started with Lift.”
