Hi, I’m Rob Burns a 61year old Wellington based personal trainer, internationally certified by the American Academy of sports medicine. Originally from Napier, I’m a father of four. I have a lifelong love of exercise & sports having participated in numerous sports, my biggest passion is martial arts which I have practiced since age 11.
In 1999, at the age of 34 I suffered a major Stroke as a result of a training accident while preparing for the Tae kwon do nationals in Australia. While I work with clients from all walks of life, I am particularly passionate about working with more mature clients and the disability community. I find it very rewarding to see how achieving their goals impacts clients, with improved, self-esteem, confidence & greatly reduced anxiety.
As Revolve fitness studio, is a private gym no memberships are required & clients avoid crowds’ noise long waits for equipment which is ideal for clients who may have issues with anxiety or sensory overload.
