Change Fitness

Fantastic experience: Ive been training with Nathan Martin for a month now and it’s been a great experience. I came to him to prepare for HYROX and he’s built sessions that are structured, challenging, and tailored to my goals. He focuses on technique, progression, and getting the balance right between pushing hard and avoiding injury. In a short time I’ve already seen improvements in strength and endurance. Nathan is professional, supportive, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for quality coaching.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Nath (Change Fitness) for about a year now. Nath has helped me achieve and work towards my goals, including my first half marathon. He listens with empathy and really seeks to understand the whole person and what is going on for them. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I can not speak more highly of Nathan and the Change Fitness community. I followed Nathan for a long time before reaching out to him but when I did I instantly knew he was the right coach for me. Just wished i had have done it earlier. I'm pretty early on in my hybrid training journey but Nathan has been a great coach, he has challenged me to achieve things I didnt think I could. He is patient, motivating, knows how to push you and creates a really safe but challenging programme that is personalised and adapted week to week. I am loving the individual coaching, his responsiveness with any questions and that no matter what I ask, he will always come back to me. Even when my motivation has dropped, he picks up the phone and just knows what i need to hear to reset and get my energy back where it needs.to be. I've got a long way to go to achieve my goals but after many years of not doing much, Nathan has reignited the passion and given me the belief that I can get to where I want to. The progress I have made has exceeded my expectations and im looking forward to the next 6 months as I work towards a goal we have set together. Keep up the amazing work Nathan, you're inspirational and someone many of us look up to. A special mention to Rose too, she is another resson Change Fitness is the success it is.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Nathan and Rose at Change Fitness. I’ve been running with the Run Club since 2022, training with the Tri Squad since March 2023, and 1:1 virtual training with Nathan since January 2025. It’s been worth every minute and every dollar. Honestly :) Every step of the way I have been supported and encouraged, by both Nathan and Rose, as I developed my ability and endurance across the various different training activities. The knowledge, guidance, and passion that Nathan provides as my coach is tailored to me, in ways that I can understand and put into practice. He makes it relevant and interesting, which for me is a really important aspect. He listens and guides, whilst also not taking any rubbish from me! The support that Rose provides to our sessions is also amazing - just knowing that she’s there with her big smile, camera and support if we need it is invaluable. At the beginning I was NOT into running. My husband roped me in. I couldn't run 100m without feeling like my body was giving up. Now, I have been able to achieve a range of milestones, including numerous personal sea swimming achievements, completing the 1/4 Iron Māori twice (soon to be three times), and am now working towards an IronMan 70.3. In the time that I have been training with Change Fitness, I have found a love for: - Running (with or without music) - LONG runs - Road cycling - Spandex

Fantastic experience: From day 1 Nathan has worked with me to get from someone who was in need of specific training to getting a massive PR at Sydney Hyrox. Not only has he massively helped my fitness but he has given me the drive I need to push harder. I highly recommend Shaun Burgess

Fantastic experience: Training with Nathan/Change Fitness for Hyrox was an awesome experience. Everything about the training was personalised and specific to me, based on individual testing and results. Nathan is really supportive, invested in his client’s training and genuinely cares about people achieving their goals. As we were both training for a Hyrox event, it was awesome to be able to collaborate about our training and see the gains together. I highly recommend working with Nathan for any event.

Fantastic experience: Ive been getting coaching from Nathan for 3 years now and with his guidance and training, Ive been able to achieve numerous physical milestones- including marathon and half marathon personal bests. He has recently coached me to achieve my first individual hyrox competition with great success. Nathans training and planning were both effective and successful at peaking my fitness. His communication is always on point and he is an all around great guy. His own achievements are inspiring and make him an easy pick for a coach I will be using his expertise for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nathan from Change Fitness has been an incredible journey! I learned so much about fitness, running, and how to actually reach the running goal I set for myself—and cross that finish line. I’d highly recommend Nathan to anyone training for a race or event, or simply looking to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Nathan is the real deal. Not just at PT but so knowledgeable across the board. Genuinely passionate about fitness and people! He has helped me reach both fitness and personal goals. He expertly tailors a workout plan for your goals. I was unsure about signing on with a PT, but after working with Nathan, I have no regrets and I highly recommend anyone who's looking for a coach to get in touch with him!

Fantastic experience: Nathan and Rose provide an environment were they and everyone at Change support each other in persuit of their fitness goals and celebrate our successes together.

Fantastic experience: I have only recently started training with Nathan using the online training for Strength. I have felt very welcomed by Nathan & Rose & the Change Fitness group It’s an inclusive & encouraging environment to train for all levels & ages. Would highly recommend training with Change Fitness

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Nathan and Change Fitness a couple of times over the last few years depending on what my goals have been at the time. What I love is that Nathan is super clear about what he offers and has set up systems, processes, and services to meet the individual where they are at. Currently I'm doing the online Riders group which is perfect. It's a live session which suits me so I am committed to that time of the week/day to attend the session but if I was unable to attend for some reason then I could do the workout later as it's saved in the group. In the future if I wanted more one on one coaching to prep for a goal then that's an option to and the feedback that Nathan gives is helpful and encouraging. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Hey there everyone! I've known Nathan for 6+ years and been an athlete of Change Fitness for 3 Seasons now! He is such an awesome coach, super experienced and a really good guy! And i totally love been part of the Change Fitness Family, is a really good vibe hey!

Fantastic experience: Wouldn’t have done as many half-Ironman triathlons as I have if it wasn’t for Nathan and all his help. If you have ever considered finding a new finish line and pushing yourself to achieve something that is yours - then Change Fitness is the place to start.

Fantastic experience: Change fitness has been a part of our lives for a few years now, Nath & Rose have helped us achieve things we had never thought possible. If you’re looking for a new challenge, and enjoying being in a friendly group environment, then this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I joined with Change Fitness when I decided I wanted to do triathlons - mainly because I wanted the benefits of 1:1 coaching, instead of following a plan I found online. It takes the pressure off having to think - it's been awesome to see my fitness increase and cannot wait to put it all to the test in November!

Fantastic experience: Change fitness is amazing! They work S- specifically M- measurable A - achievement based R - realistic expectations T- team work. They work smart to assist achieving this client goals...thank you Change whaanau for transforming my family

Fantastic experience: I have been involved with Change Fitness for the past 8 years. I started with CF not being able to run any further than 100 - 200m, hadn't riden a bike since childhood and was never a great swimmer. Through the amazing coaching of Nathan Martin, I have now crossed a number of finish lines including Ironman NZ and representing NZ at the ITU Age group world champs In Pontevedra, Spain. Nath is an awesome coach who leads from the front and walks his talk!

Fantastic experience: Nathan and Rose have been excellent and have had a positive impact on so many people. A++

Fantastic experience: Moved to Lower Hutt in November, and needed another training squad ASAP. Change Fitness run group has been awesome! Whether you’re looking for a fun social run or a challenge to push yourself, there are people off all abilities involved. Nathan is also really supportive and wants everyone to succeed in what they are looking to accomplish.

Fantastic experience: I rate Nathan very highly as a Personal Trainer. Even though I'm not as fit and flexible as some of his clients, it's no problem. He pushes me to Change each week, and I can feel the improvement. He is very good at checking in. The training squad provides plenty of opportunities to run, bike and swim with others. Rose is a great support and makes everyone look great with her super dooper photo shots.

Fantastic experience: Change Fitness has truly been a game-changer for my running journey. I started training with Nathan from 2018, unable to even run a single kilometer. Fast forward to today, and I have completed more than a dozen half marathons and even a full marathon, all thanks to Nath’s expertise, guidance, and unwavering support. Nathan's training plans are incredibly effective and tailored to my specific needs and goals. He knows exactly how to challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone, all while ensuring that I progress in a safe and sustainable manner. His wealth of knowledge in running, fitness, and nutrition is evident in every session, and I have learned so much from him along the way. Thank you, Nath, for being an incredible coach and mentor.

Fantastic experience: Started with change fitness back in February with a goal to do a half iron man in November 2024. From my first meeting with Nathan explaining to me what he does and how many people he has help achieved their goals i knew this is what i needed. The Training programs are great and work into your lifestyle. 4 months into training and feeling the fittest i have in a long time!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Change Fitness wherever you are in your fitness journey. I have been training for over three years now and it has been a game changer for me. Nathan provides personalised coaching plans and happily shares his expertise in diet and nutrition. He provides a positive and fun environment to train and is a true role model.

Fantastic experience: Nathan is a fantastic coach. He's supportive and able to get the best out of his athletes. He's always on hand to answer any questions on your training and providing feedback when it counts. I may only have been with him for 6mths, but the gains I've made have been exceptional!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for an easy ride I would suggest you don’t sign up with Nathan Martin at Change Fitness. He will customise a training programme to your current level of fitness; your agreed to goals and he will hold you to account. If you stick to the programme & the process that Nathan puts in front of you then you will achieve remarkable results. I’ve been with Nathan for a couple of years & have found him extremely knowledgeable & passionate to help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Nathan highly enough.. Nathan's coaching isn't just about fitness plans and routines, nor is it just about discovering your own inspiration, your own mojo. It is not all about the achievement oriented programmes either. It's actually an invitation to his meticulously shaped up CF whanau, a super supportive, encouraging family that he has shaped up over many many years. Nathan leads by example and works with you on your personal fitness goals and on your progression. His whanau keep you positive, motivated and are always there to cheer for you every step of your journey. Nathan's track record of coaching national and international athletes, speaks volumes about his ability to unlock the best in his clients.. Personally, joining Nathan's program was a transformative decision, not just for me, but for my entire family. I have seen and experienced some pretty incredible moments with Nathan, some that are very hard to describe in words. My family and I will be ever grateful for those Nathan!

Fantastic experience: I love everything about Change Fitness! Coach Nath is so supportive, encouraging and there to share his knowledge. Change Fitness is a family. Everyone is there to help each other, inspire each other and empower each other. Rose is always there with her camera taking the best photos for everyone to see their journeys.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have had the privilege of being part of the Change Fitness Whanau for almost 3 years. Nathan is an exceptional coach with a wealth of knowledge and expertise that enables him to bring out the very best in people of all ages and abilities. Achieving the goals that Nathan sets for us is an incredible feeling. The Change Fitness environment is truly supportive and inspiring for everyone. We cannot thank Nathan and Rose enough for their guidance and support. Positive change is possible. Highly recommended. Shane and Annalisa

Fantastic experience: I've had an outstanding experience training with Nathan Martin at Change Fitness. Nathan's extensive knowledge, gained from years of experience and continuous upskilling, truly sets him apart. His goal-focused approach ensures that each training session is purposeful and tailored to help me achieve my personal best. What I appreciate most is the welcoming and encouraging environment he has created. Nathan meets each athlete where they are, providing the right balance of challenge and support. Additionally, the group sessions and community at Change Fitness have been incredibly supportive and friendly, making training more accessible than I ever thought possible. With a range of ways to work together, from individual coaching to group workouts, Nathan and Change Fitness provides the flexibility and camaraderie needed to succeed in your fitness and training goals.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love training with Nathan Martin at Change Fitness. To say it has changed my approach to fitness and life in general would be an understatement. I am in my 40s and the fittest I’ve ever been in my life. Nathan is an Ironman certified coach, and very knowledgeable. Being a multiple Ironman finisher himself, he knows exactly how/when to push you to achieve your goals. Nath helped me complete an Ironman 70.3 and multiple standard distance triathlons. Always has great insights about nutrition, game plan before events, technique, and recovery. The crew I train with are super supportive, fun, and one of the factors that makes training with Nathan a fantastic experience. Whether you are a novice or well on your way in your fitness, running, or triathlon journeys, I would highly recommend Nathan as a coach.

Fantastic experience: All of my goals have been achieved when working with Nathan and Change Fitness. The culture Rose and Nathan create for their members is so welcoming and encouraging. I could not recommend enough to others, if you want to find your finish line then Nathan and Rose Martin and Change Fitness is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Change fitness to any one wanting a personal training program to reach their fitness or event goals. Nathan supported me through an eight month training program to achieve my dream of becoming an Ironman. I had no experience on a bike. We spoke about nutrition, recovery options and he adapted the program to suit my needs. I found the training interesting and enjoyed the sessions throughout the process. Nathan answered all of my questions and is extremely knowledgeable. I have change fitness to thank for getting me across the line!

Fantastic experience: I joined Change Fitness in April 2024 after suffering from a shoulder injury for a year. Nathan has been fantastic in working at my pace, helping with my shoulder recovery, and gradually building my strength. I'm glad I joined him and look forward to a longer supportive journey, with the hope of slowly getting back to running after two years. Highly recommend Nathan - Change Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nathan at Change Fitness has been hugely impactful both mentally and physically for me over the past 3 years. The improvements I've made since starting with Nathan I am super proud of and couldn't of achieved what I have done without his guidance. From representing New Zealand on the global stage to ticking off multiple PB's, the support has been second to none. The variation and strategy behind my weekly plans are always tailored to my specific goals. Thanks Nathan!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
