The story

Why PURE Movement exists

I’ve been a personal trainer in Lower Hutt since 2008. For about ten years I worked alongside a physiotherapy clinic, and I saw how much strength training matters on the back end of rehab. That’s the part people usually get left to sort out on their own.

I opened PURE Movement in 2011. I wanted a space where regular people feel welcome to train. No posers, just people trying to make themselves better. That’s still who trains here, and I’m still on the floor most days.

The gym

We’re at 41A Rutherford Street, Lower Hutt.

We’ve set it up for strength work and movement coaching, with racks, barbells, plates and the room to use them. It’s quiet enough to hear your trainer, and beginners tend to feel at ease. And yes, there’s usually a gym dog on the floor.
