with Hamish Robertson REPS Registered Personal Trainer
Here is what a few clients have to say about training with Fit and Active Personal training
CLIENT: Vesna Aroha Radonich
Waka Ama National Champion GOLD medallist 2009In September 2009 Hamish introduced me to the Russian kettle bells as a tool for training in my sport waka ama. Waka ama otherwise known as outriggers is a canoe with an outrigger (balancing agent). He recommended me to try the kettle bells for explosive training with my races in particular the 500m sprint.
The attributes for me with the kettle bells, was explosive movement, continuous movement, transition into phases of light to heavy pull/push, pushing maximum heart rate and endurance training. All of which are required of me for sprint racing in waka ama.
Hamish was able to adapt movements of the kettle bells into my waka ama racing. The goal I was aiming for was GOLD medal for NZ National Championships 2009. Recently I had returned back into NZ with a BRONZE medal from the World Waka Ama Championships giving me a ranking of 3rd fastest in the World.
Hamish set our training around a 500m course which was the distance for the NZ National Waka Ama Sprint race I was aiming to win. This was to comprise of burpies, swings, pulls, dead lifts and fartlek all of which were going to give me the edge to win.
November and December saw the training intensity increase with January 2009 the race was to take place. I had to travel over that time for which Hamish gave me some kettle bells to train with along with a strict but effective training programme.
And it paid off on 17 January 2009 I won the GOLD medal at the NZ Waka Ama Championships 2009. The effective and results orientated training completed by Hamish for me gave me the explosive power and stamina to take the GOLD medal. More rewarding as there had been the same person for the past 3-4 years dominate it and that I had taken the challenge to go for the GOLD medal.
Anyone wanting to add that EDGE to their results in their sport, lifestyle or stamina I would strongly recommend the kettle bell training.
Anyone wanting a personal trainer that is 100% commited and will get them the results Hamish is the person who can do this for you.
Thank you very much Hamish for your commit, trust and belief in me to take me to win the GOLD medal.
Thank you also in advance to Hamish as he helps me prepare to take on the GOLD medal at the World Waka Ama Championships 2010.
WITH GRATTITUDE

For the two years Hamish has been helping me with MMA, Kickboxing, conditioning and weight loss programs. After initially joining a Gym and working out there for a few months I felt I needed some guidance and sought the help of Hamish; someone who seemed approachable, professional and looked himself to be in good shape. I felt that he was the right guy to coach, guide and assist me in reaching my new goals.
Hamish has worked with me in this time, preparing me for full contact encounters and never seeming too busy to answer any questions. He initially assessed where I physically was and then listened to what I wanted to achieve. He has over time challenged me with new exercises, increasing their technical difficulty and raised the bar for me to further my goals and push myself. We have had great training sessions together where he has always been able to push me to my limit and get the best results, squeezing every last bit of energy from my muscles. With his guidance I have shredded 12kg and sit at a lean 8% body fat. Easily the best condition of my life at 30 years old.
I have always been impressed by Hamish’s willingness to go above and beyond and literally put his own body and health on the line for my training and others. I would recommend Hamish’s personal training services to anyone that wants true results
