Amber Beaumont – Owner/Manager

Hi, I’m Amber and I have owned and managed the Raglan Gym since 2009. I have been working in the industry for the past 23 years, and have a passion for both fitness and the outdoors. My philosophy in life is ‘train indoors to enjoy the outdoors’. Whatever that may be for you, whether it’s rock climbing, hiking, snowboarding or surfing, if we keep our muscles strong we will have less stress on our joints.

In the past I have done body building, and have lots of knowledge around lowering body fat and training for competitions. I have a background in personal training as well. A few years ago I started up ‘Adventure Seeker’, in which I organise and guide adventures around NZ. My current passion is to inspire others to experience new adventures and get out into nature and explore.

Sam Cowley – Receptionist

staff, raglan gym,

I love feeding off the fit vibes and big gym energy you all bring so nga mihi for that, it helps me stay motivated.

I’m playing the long game, so training for me is about longevity, strength and moving my muscles the way they want to be moved, to prevent injury and feel good. Sport is my favourite way to play and has been for most of my life. I’m not a fan of sitting, I’d rather be moving or lying down lol.

I’m also a massage therapist and have a massage room above Ulo Store. It compliments the gym well and I’ve got a few clients from there so bring it on. My qualification is a Diploma in Wellness and Relaxation Massage from Wintec.

Nurturing people is my gift I guess, but I love the lightness and social side to the gym and I really enjoy talking to people when they have their headphones on haha.

I’ve done a lot of things and lived in a few different places, but this place is my favourite. I feel like in Whāingaroa the world comes to you and I’m grateful for that, and the constant flow of people keeps the energy fresh, the gym is a good representation of that.

If I could give you any advice it would be to try the yoga that we offer through the gym, we’re spoilt with some quality yoga instructors and it’s a great way to lengthen and stretch your big tight muscles, it’s great for mind health as well obviously.

Love a bush walk or beach run, love yoga, and love a good meditation and sweat in the sauna too. My other best gym friends are treadmill number 2, lat pull down and seated row. I got an upper body and lower body training programme from David West, if you want some edge and to really get down to the nitty gritty he’s your guy!

Thanks all and thanks Amber for the opportunity to grow and learn and connect in a positive space.

Ngā mihi nui
