Jacinta studied at the University of Waikato and completed a Bachelor of Sport and Leisure studies. She got into the Health and Fitness sector, because since she can remember she has had an overwhelming passion for playing sport.

You can imagine – having three older sporty brothers, the competitive side didn’t take long to kick in. Though she enjoys everything that she gives a go, the two sports she regularly enjoys and competes at are Netball and (more so) Squash. With the high performance sporting background, this led her to gain a great appreciation for exercsie and health and how we can benefit so much from moving our bodies everyday and keeping them moving / improving of course!

Jacinta strongly believe in mixing things up and trying new things to keep this on-going health and fitness journey as exciting as possible! Having been in the industry since 2018 with Activ8, Jacinta has gained so much invaluable knowledge. On the road to achieving goals, she strongly believes in looking through a holistic lens, mastering the basics in the studio and always taking the opportunity to challenge each and every client in ways to help them smash their personal goals whether it be sports specific or a fit lifestyle. Among sport and exercise she loves spending quality time with friends and family, being out at the beach or at home on the farm/orchard – just being outside in general! And if it’s a nice scenic walk/run that’s even better.

“Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same.”

I believe with the right training, right food and right attitude anyone can achieve any body. To achieve amazing results you have to work hard, but I guarantee that my personalised sessions with you will be fun, dynamic and motivating. You have nothing to lose- apart from fat!

I have been a Personal Fitness Coach for 14 years and have taken great pleasure in helping over 500 clients achieve some amazing results. I started in Dunedin working at a Personal Conditioning Studio after completing a Physical Education Degree at Otago University. From there my career has taken me to England where I spent two years as a Self Employed Personal Trainer at Fitness First. For the last 8 years I have been back in New Zealand working in my home town of Whangarei.

I love all sports and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle that Northland offers. I play rugby and squash and enjoy fishing and diving whenever I get the chance. My background and love of sports helps me to train and coach people from all walks of life. We all have different goals and dreams, I know from personal experience no goal or dream is too big or too hard to achieve. I believe in goal setting, working hard and achieving results that improve the quality of peoples’ lives.

I do not go to work every day, I go to my passion every day. “I help people change their lives for the better; I help people achieve their dreams”. I truly believe this and it gives me great pleasure to be in the industry I am in. If you want to change something about your body, train for a specific goal or increase the quality of your life get in contact now to discuss how we can get you to where you want to be.

“Be yourself…….but better!”

My name is Shayne Dunseath. I grew up in the Waikato and have attained a Bachelor in Sport & Leisure from the University of Waikato. I have been in the industry for seven years and loving it. I have always had a keen interest in Personal Training and owning my own business and feel very passionate when it comes to fitness and healthy lifestyles. I am very aware of the importance of exercise and the related issues of diet and fitness in the current means of living these days- by adding a small amount of exercise and a dose of superfoods this can go a long way.

I love to have a challenge- that is why I specialize in rehab, challenged youth and adult groups as well as any individual wanting to gain results. I have had clients come to me with just the aim of keeping mobile and active but then have achieved massive strength and weight loss gains at the same time. I also invented the “Immortal” training which is Activ8s latest group training session- the hardest training in NZ and ready for anyone who wants to take their training and body to the next level.

I love seeing the smile when results are achieved, so will you be the next client of mine to have a massive smile????

You live in your body 24 hours a day, 7 days a week- invest in it! I believe investing in your body is an investment for life- which will just keep getting richer- the more you put into it the more you will get back- GUARANTEED.

I have been changing peoples lives for the past 12 years and love to see others getting the benefits out of exercise, that I find I do.Living life to the full and making the most out of every day means looking after yourself physically and mentally- this is hard to do and not everyone gets the balance right. I am here to help and support you through the physical side of things so other parts of your life can fall into place. Once you are in control of your body, diet and health you can be in a lot more control of your life.

I completed my Bachelor of Physical Education at Otago University. Since then I have Personal Trained at various gyms in Dunedin, London and Whangarei. Myself, Matt and Shayne own Activ8 and love every minute of seeing the results our clients achieve.

I love most sports and play squash at a high level as well as run for enjoyment. We have got 2 young children who have bought a lot of joy into our lives- as well as a different outlook on life. No matter how busy you are or workload you have you can always make time to appreciate nature, exercise and take a few deep breathes to enjoy the moments we have- as we will never get that moment back.
