"Training outdoors at 6am is quite possibly the best part of my day. I love the smell of the fresh air, the sound of the waves and the beautiful sun rises that come from working out by Mount Drury. Why would you want to work out inside when we have such an amazing outdoor space right on our doorstep! The local community and the evo group are one of kind. Supporting one another no matter the level you are at, it's a great environment to push your own boundaries, as well as to encourage others to push theirs. Evo gets me out of bed each morning - the family vibe, the feeling of achievement and the satisfaction you get from being a part of what is not just a boot camp group, but a circle of friends is fantastic - Melissa Conrad, 68 sessions with Mount Maunganui Evo & member since November 2014"

"John provides a training program that gives each member an opportunity to explore the park and complete a variety of exercises that are not monotonous. He uses the advantages of the park such as the hills, the oval and the scenic ponds as opportunities to extend our fitness capacity. The location is extremely beneficial as it is in close proximity to home and work. I feel fortunate to have a trainer who is genuinely interested and invested in my progress. He is steadfast in his commitment to challenge and ultimately improve my fitness yet readily applies modifications where necessary. The supportive nature of the group is a key reason I have been with Evo for a year and half. Mel Vescio, 169 sessions with St Peters Evo & member since January 2014"
