Move it Mama was founded by Lisa in February 2018. With four boys under five, Lisa was doing short, high intensity workouts from home, and then began to share them. Regular exercise reclaimed Lisa’s sparkle. Through exercise, she rebuilt herself both physically and mentally.
After sharing her workouts with close friends, Lisa started to build a community. Move it Mama is now an amazingly uplifting community connected through exercise.
In 2018, what was four high intensity workouts with Lisa each week, is now a variety of workouts (14 per week) from bodyweight to high intensity, weights, boxing and yoga.
Lisa’s sisters Jess and Char joined her in delivering workouts in 2019. Today Move it Mama hosts a team of six instructors.
With so much variety available, and a community of over 5,500 members, the Move it Mama platform now has a workout suitable to just about anyone.
NOT ON FACEBOOK?
From time to time I like to share stories, experiences and/or musings to Facebook, and I know many of us would love to spend less time on social media!
If that’s you, this page is where you can come to read my latest waffly chat.
Love,

Lisa (Sunshine Coast, Aus)
While raising my four boys, 20 minutes of exercise was what helped reinvigorate me and give me confidence. This is how Move it Mama started. I needed my exercise regime to be simple, affordable and accessible. Come and workout with us; we will help you to cement regular exercise into your life.

Jess (Christchurch, NZ)
I’m passionate about teaching people that a healthy life doesn’t need to be all consuming! I thrive off helping the Move it Mama community live a happier life, and especially empowering pregnant and postpartum women to safely exercise. I’m a REPs registered personal trainer and am also pre and post natal qualified (Fitness Australia, NZIHF, Burrell Education UK).

Char (Cambridge, NZ)
After years of gym memberships, I’ve gone cold turkey and my only membership is with Move it Mama! I am a sucker for endorphins and it gives me so much joy to help others feel the best they can. I’m a sports fanatic and love to share my passion for fitness with the Move it Mama community. Working full time in sport (outside of Move it Mama) I am inspired by sports people daily, and in turn I love to inspire the Move it Mama community to chase their own exercise and fitness goals.
Kirst (Auckland, NZ)
I’ve always loved physical activity and the endorphins that followed. I know that exercising makes me a better wife, mother and friend and want all my friends to feel the same. Since becoming a mother my workout regime had to adapt along with the new schedule that comes with family life! Move It Mama is exactly that, fast, simple and effective. I’m really excited to be sharing my passion for an active lifestyle with the Move it Mama community!
Sarah (Geraldine, NZ)
I’m Sarah, mum to Stanley, an adventure seeking, limit pushing, spunky little man, and Sophia who was only able to stay with us for 50min, before she was given her set of wings to head off on a greater adventure. Exercise has been my go-to; the best outlet in navigating my grief and working through tough days. It’s made me not just fitter and stronger, but a much better mum, wife, daughter, sister and friend. Passionate about helping others feel their best, I’m loving being back in the fitness industry after an extended break from Personal Training.
Ainslie (Te Kuiti, NZ)
I’m a science nerd and a lifelong student of life, yoga, mental and holistic health, and love helping others (and myself) thrive in body and mind. I love learning and variation in my life; you’ll see this trickle into my classes. I've completed 700+ hours of yoga teacher training in India and NZ, & run an online and in-person yoga business in the King Country. To me, practicing and teaching yoga is about creating space to move out of the monkey mind, stress management, connection to self and community, nervous system nourishment, resilience, being playful, self awareness, listening to our bodies and giving ourselves permission to slow down. I love bringing real life struggles to our mats and shedding yoga wisdom. The power is when we start to integrate what we learn on the mat (patience, compassion, awareness and more), and bring this into our everyday lives.
