Amanda

Meet Amanda—the driving force behind Rebel Pilates, where stereotypes are smashed, and movement is for every damn body.


Amanda’s journey began at age 13 when she launched her professional dancing career. Soon after, she discovered her competitive edge in Sport Aerobics, proudly representing New Zealand on the global stage. Armed with a Diploma in Sport, Amanda & hubby PJ made the leap across the ditch to jump head first into the fitness industry. Her boundless energy and love for movement saw her excel as a Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Gym Manager.


In 2014, Amanda co-founded HABITAT, a thriving fitness community born from her 25+ years of industry experience. Now, with that same passion and a rebellious streak, Amanda brings you Rebel Pilates—a bold partner studio to HABITAT that flips the traditional Pilates script. With Reformer classes, instructor training, and a no-judgment vibe, Rebel Pilates is Amanda’s next chapter in redefining movement for every damn body.


When she’s not coaching or creating, Amanda’s happiest travelling, raising her two boys, or dancing to 90s jams.
