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 philosophy
Three things we don’t compromise on
Evidence-based programming
We screen how you move, then build training on what the research supports — adjusted to your body and your progress.
Honesty over hype
If something isn’t right for you, we’ll say so, even when it costs us a sale.
No forced 12-month deal
Your block is set to what you’re training for — a wedding in six months, a tramp in eight weeks.
Meet the team
The coaches on the floor
You’ll work with coaches who know your name and your training.
Daniel Nield
Coach
Dip. Ex. Sci. · Gymnastics L7 Coach & Judge
Daniel brings a gymnastics and calisthenics background — rings, floor and bodyweight strength — alongside strength and hypertrophy coaching.
The space
A real strength gym, not a boutique studio
We’re at 41A Rutherford Street, Lower Hutt.
Racks, barbells, plates and the room to use them — set up for strength work and movement coaching, not mirrors and playlists. Quiet enough to hear your coach, calm enough that beginners aren’t intimidated. And yes, there’s usually a gym dog on the floor.
Your free week
Try PURE Movement free for a week
The best way to meet us is to come in. One hour, completely free — a gym tour, a look at how you move, and time to ask us anything.
Your first session covers:
- Gym tour. See the space, the equipment and how the floor actually runs — no crowds, no posing.
- Goal setting. Tell us what you want from training. We work out what that realistically takes.
- Screen your movement. We watch how you actually move, so we coach what your body needs — not a template.
- Guided warm-up. Move through a coached warm-up so you leave knowing what good training feels like.
- Q&A. Ask anything — pricing, scheduling, injuries, whether this is even right for you.
Then train free for the rest of the week — coach on the floor, no strings.
No cost. No obligation. No sales pressure.
