Instructor Profile
Name: Janine Anderson
I teach: Body Pump, Body Balance, RPM, Boxing & Yoga.
My favourite program to teach and why: Body Pump! The first class I ever attended was Jen & Phil's Body Pump. I was blown away! Over several weeks of Body Pump my body began to transform. It changed my life.
My other job (if I have one): Personal Trainer at GHRC.
Why I started teaching: I wanted to challenge myself to do something I never imagined I would be able to do.
Why I teach at The Gap: The members, owners and staff are the reason why I have taught at The Gap for over seven years. It's like one big family.
My favourite pre-class sneaky snack to get me through: mixed nuts or ladybird whey protein shake 1/2 milk, 1/2 water.
The best advice I can give anyone who is just starting out: Take it easy by slowly building up the intensity of your workout, as well as the duration. Be realistic and remember to eat healthy, drink lots of water and sleep well.
One thing you didn't know about me: I love to paint and create sculptures.
