About Me

Hi, I'm Amber

I know how uncomfortable it can feel to step into a gym and feel out of place, or unsure what you should even be doing. That’s why I created AmberKay. It’s for women over 40 and anyone who feels overlooked.

I grew up in Auckland and hold a BSc and a Diploma in Personal Training. My job is to meet you where you are and help you build strength and mobility in a way that feels safe and achievable. I’m the only trainer here, so you’ll always work directly with me.

We focus on practical strength and mobility sessions that help you move better and feel stronger, without any fluff or fuss.

What To Expect

What training looks like

All new clients start with a short chat so you can tell me what you are looking for and we can talk about how we get you there

Sessions are small

Groups are kept small. This keeps things relaxed and makes it easier to ask questions and get support when you need it.

Guided training

You’re guided with time to learn what you’re doing and why. There’s no rush and no pressure to keep up with anyone else.

Start where you are

If you’re coming back from injury or haven’t trained in a while, we work with what you can do and build from there.

Flexible on the day

Some days feel better than others. That’s normal.

Sessions adjust to what you can bring and do on the day.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Amber worked with me to get some of the basics under my belt and then things really took off! I can absolutely do things today that I wouldn’t have been able to do a year ago.

My biggest achievement is the difference I feel in my own body – the machine had been underutilised, but now it’s all revved up and ready to go"

— Jess T

Testimonials

Only got time to do 2 sessions each week? You want to focus on getting as strong as possible - muscle is your friend as you get older!

Squats, deadlifts, pull ups / rows, bench press / push ups, over head press, some single leg movements such as lunges, step ups, or single leg deadlifts for balance, and some jumps as impact for bones, ligaments and tendons.

Got time for a 3rd session? Add in some yoga / Pilates, and a high intensity session.

Daily walking is awesome too (this can also be dancing or swimming or cycling or anything that gets your heart rate up!)

This week I had 2 clients achieve their FIRST EVER body weight squats. This means their legs and knees are now strong enough to move through a full range of movement, without pain. That's sitting down on a couch and standing up without assistance for years to come!

One of my favourite parts of my job is helping absolute beginners learn to move and start to get strong.

The thing is it is super hard to show on social media - people at the beginning of their journey often don't want their videos being taken.

But you know what? Learning to squat is 100% life changing. You legs are getting to a point they can carry you around and move through life movements, lowering risk of falling and breaking bones, you are reducing daily aches and pains, and will see a huge increase in quality of life. You are also achieving things and realising you can be strong and you DO NOT need to live in pain.

A huge congrats to both Norma and Shannon this week. They both deserve all the credit, they have been working exceptionally hard, the start is tough! But damn, it is worth it!

Keep it up ladies!

You don't have to be a gym person to enjoy training. We start with the basics, build confidence, and teach you what you need to know. One day you might even look forward to training! 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😍

Training with me at @AmberKayNZ is not like what you've seen on TV!! I won't ever be yelling at you or comparing you to anyone else. PROMISE!

Started some new high intensity sessions this morning!! Well done to Miriam and Di who were the first to test it out. Worked really well. Will be a gun addition! Let me know if you'd like to join. A few spots left for Monday 7am and Wednesday 930am!

Been bombarded with weight loss strategies, detoxes, and New Year challenges? What if we think differently this year? What if we instead focus on learning a skill? Getting stronger? Bring mroe confident in our bodies?
