Marnie Sykes

Coach / Personal Trainer

With a lifelong passion for health and fitness, I earned a Bachelor of Physical Education from the University of Otago in 2013. My athletic journey spans netball, soccer, rowing, running, triathlons, and, since 2017, competitive CrossFit, where I've competed as a 4x CrossFit Games Athlete.


Qualifications:

- Bachelor of Physical Education (BPhEd), Sport and Exercise Sciences
- CrossFit Level 1
- Diploma in Sport and Recreation
- Specialisations in Coaching, Exercise Physiology, and Sports Nutrition


Experience


With over 7 years as a Performance Coach, I've coached 1-on-1 sessions, group classes, and online training. My personal athletic highlights include qualifying for the 2024 CrossFit Games, placing 2nd (team) and completing 5 half marathons in New Zealand.


Coaching Philosophy

 

My focus is on connecting with individuals through personalised workout programs and nutritional advice, helping clients enhance strength, lose weight, boost confidence, improve sports performance, or lead a healthier lifestyle. I inspire clients to embrace their fitness journey by focusing on building solid habits rather than being solely outcome-driven. Consistent good habits naturally lead to achieving your goals.
