Our People

Lorree Wilson - Owner, Senior Personal Trainer/Reformer Pilates Instructor - REPS Registered

I am a REP’s Registered Exercise Professional. This means I meet New Zealand and International Standards to deliver safe and effective exercise advice to you. 

I find it rather cliche as a personal trainer to say that I'm passionate about health and fitness as I'd hope that every PT in the industry is of that mindset. Training people to be the most best version of themselves is a given. I have a varied skill set and deem myself a Lifestyle PT. My passion is helping people find balance in their fitness and nutrition regimes and helping clients integrate robust habits into already busy lifestyles . My own goals centre around being happy, healthy and productive and the use of exercise and good nutrition in a preventative approach to optimal health and aging. If I can get through each and every day, feeling fabulous, keeping stress minimized and giving my friends and family the best of me, then that is success. 

Every person has different needs and goals and finding a way to make everything fit together cohesively like a jigsaw is a life-long challenge. Too often I see people making radical and unsustainable changes, feeling things must be all or nothing, when in reality often the biggest challenge is finding and accepting that moderation can be a much more enjoyable and sustainable way of life. 

Along with lifestyle balance, my other areas of special interest are composition change, reformer pilates and rehabilitation. 

Rehabilitation and gaining/maintaining mobility goes hand in hand with healthy aging and staying as independent for as long as possible in life. Successful and safe rehabilitation of injury at whatever stage in life is a key foundation activity. Composition change incorporates so much more than just weight loss. I utilise market leading technology InBody570 to assess and analyse body composition. The precise and accurate data on muscle and fat levels, muscular imbalances, bone density and other health measures the InBody570 gives is premium technology. It ensures that when in the assessment and monitoring phases, we remove the often clouding subjective measures that often come into play when looking at body composition.

My machine is one of only a small handful in New Zealand. I have completed more than 1000 body composition assessments and it would be fair to say, I've seen a lot! This valuable data has allowed me a special insight into the trends and effects that various forms of exercise and nutrition, both positive and negative, have on human composition.

From a training perspective I utilise a variety of training methods encompassing traditional strength work, reformer pilates and functional fitness. I like to keep my PT sessions with my clients fresh and diverse and any programming I do for independent self-led training is always tailored to the specific needs and goals of the individual.

Emma King - Personal Trainer + Group Fitness Instructor

As a mum of four, exercise became a big part of my life when I joined a mums and bubs class as a single mum around 12 years ago.

I was instantly hooked to the feeling of mental clarity and physical strength and knew that one day I’d like to inspire that feeling for others.

Previously a qualified makeup artist, over the past decade I’ve worked in the fitness industry, most notably for Sport Tasman in Nelson, organising codes and helping with classes tailored to all levels of ability from the elderly and new mums through to intense HIIT classes.

After moving to Marlborough, I joined The PT Collective and loved it so much that in 2020 I began working towards my long-time dream of becoming a qualified Personal Trainer while working as a group fitness instructor at the gym.

I love helping people to find their ‘out’, as I once needed and enabling them to reach their goals, whether they be to lose weight, get strong or just work towards a healthy and sustainable lifestyle as the best version of themselves.

Becoming a PT has been the best decision for me; it truly doesn't feel like work when you are so passionate about what you do. I love motivating people and helping them push themselves further then they thought possible.
