My name is Debbie Jackson.
I am a qualified personal trainer and an advocate for the benefits of exercise.
Seeing people’s lives transformed by including exercise as part of their lives is what motivates and inspires me.

*Enhances cognitive abilities
*Increased bone strength and density
*Strengthens the immune system
*Promotes personal growth

In early 2011 I made the decision to gain my Fitness Consultant Level 3 and Personal Trainer Level 4 certification. I studied with NZ Institute of Health and Fitness, one of the leading and most respected fitness industry training providers in New Zealand.
In February 2012 I became certified by Thump! Boxing Systems to train boxing for fitness – which is a lot of fun!

Professionally I have a background in Book Retail, Inventory Management and Hospitality.
I have worked as a veterinary nurse and a horse trainer, my sport of choice for many years was 3 Day Eventing
