Taupo Trainers

Ora – Gym Manager / Personal Trainer (in training)
Born and raised in Taupō, Ora is deeply connected to the local sports community. She coaches at Taupō-nui-a-Tia College, plays premier netball and rugby, and has proudly represented New Zealand both nationally and internationally in rugby and touch.
With a strong sporting background, experience in management, marketing, and promotion, and a passion for fitness, stepping into her role at True Woman’s Fitness was a natural fit. Ora is currently completing her Personal Training Certificate after making a bold career change from project management in vocational education, and moving home after nine years away.
Known for her bubbly and caring personality, Ora ensures our gym is a welcoming space for all – and soon, you’ll see her stepping into her role as a Personal Trainer too.

Sport has always been a big part of Leanne’s life – she even competed at nationals for athletics in high school. After having her two boys, she rediscovered her love for fitness and the gym quickly became her happy place, supporting both her physical and mental wellbeing.
That passion inspired Leanne to become a qualified Personal Trainer, and for the past 9+ years she’s been helping others feel strong, confident, and proud of their progress.
