About Belinda

Belinda Edmondston is one of New Zealand’s leading personal trainers. She was the 2009 winner of the Fitness Life Personal Trainer of the Year, South Island making her number 2 in the country. This award is the benchmark for excellence within the New Zealand fitness industry.

She no stranger to transformation. It’s hard to believe, but sweat and Belinda were once like oil and water. They did not mix. She traded skirts for trackies; her marketing manager role at a New Zealand top 20 company for the treadmill.

Her skills and interest are not confined to the physical. Belinda Edmondston is endorsed by internationally respected health expert Dr Patterson Stark (DC, DBAAHP, AACNEM), who has studied more than 100 approaches to healing during his 40-year career.

Unlike most health and wellness professionals, Belinda emotionally supports her clients to reshape their mind as well as their body – to transform from the inside as well as the out. The physical aspect of weight loss is only half of the equation, the other half is emotion. Often this is the biggest and most confronting piece of the puzzle, not to mention the fundamental missing link of nearly every weight loss plan out there.

Powering forward with one of Australasia’s foremost thinkers in sustainable transformation and human performance, Sally Anderson, Belinda accomplished the challenge set of writing not 1 book but 3 books. These gems address the deep emotional connection address to identify the cause of your weight loss once and for all. After all to find your pearl you have to dive deep into the ocean.

Belinda’s quest for life and professionally enriching experiences took her to the Defence Forces, where she was a civilian physical training instructor. There she owned and added to the army motto, that the best must give of their best.

She also volunteers her time to Catch Fitness, an entity that educates and supports fitness professionals throughout New Zealand thereby helping improve the New Zealand fitness industry as a whole.

Belinda has a Bachelor of Commerce and is a Certified Personal Trainer,Certified Polestar Pilates Instructor, Certified Wellness Coach and Certified in Massage Therapy and is a REPs Registered Exercise Professional – the recognised exercise industry standard ensuring safe and effective exercise advice.
