In true kiwi style, Corinne beholds the qualities of being super friendly and caring, is responsive to the needs of others, and approaches everything with an ‘I can do it’ attitude. And, not surprisingly, it is this attitude which, following coaching, has been known to rub off on her clients resulting in some impressive outcomes and results for those embarking on a wonderful health and fitness journey.
Corinne was brought up on a farm in northern NZ, so life was always hands on and active – and it was being active that she loved. Corinne took great courage from her mothers ever-optimistic attitude and quickly learnt that as long as all thoughts and cognitions are positive and stimulating then anything is possible.
So, after graduating with her key to the world of Personal Training, and spending her early working years in various gym roles (including a very shy PT), she soon expanded her horizons and set out to reach the stars. Listening to the wise words of her ever-supportive husband one night – ‘just do it’ – she did ‘it’, and One2One Fitness was born. Initially working from a rented single garage, Corinne and her husband constructed a small, purpose-built studio on their property in a rural setting fifteen minutes from the Whangarei CBD. After only 8 months of operation, the neglected niche that One2One had tapped into sprung to life. Demand was hot and without further ado, another ambitious and determined business partner was sought – enter Halle Baker.
