The Kaikoura Whale Run

Established in 2005, Pink Pilates is a programme specifically designed to help women with cancer regain their strength.  Run by qualified Pink Pilates physiotherapists, the programme aims to improve the quality of life of those women battling cancer through improving their fitness, strength, fatigue levels and self belief among many things.  Due to the popularity of the programme The Pink Pilates Trust was created to help ease the financial burden for those women eligible to participate in the programme.

On the 17th of September Pink Pilates therapists’ Ebony Hornibrook and Nicola Judkins along with several members, friends and family of Team Pink Pilates are running in the Surburban Schools Whale Run to raise funds to support this fantastic programme.  They need all the help they can get, so please check out http://www.everydayhero.co.nz/nicola_judkins and donate to the Pink Pilates Trust.  For more information on Pink Pilates please go to http://www.pinkpilates.co.nz

These chicks were spotted in the mountains last weekend. No guessing what they were up to!

At the Kaikoura Community Gym our qualified trainers can provide you with a specific training program to meet your goals. Runners benefit greatly from a properly designed strength-training program.

In fact, most runners will never reach their peak level of performance without strength training. Benefits include, injury prevention, increased power, increased speed, increased stride length and running economy (maximising stride length, maintaining stride rate & improving form).

Call in to discuss your training requirements with Kim or David. Or phone 03 319 7045.

Our new and improved premise has all you need to keep you training in these cold winter days….

Jane and the crew at Kaikoura Physiotherapy have made a training program for everyone.

You’re welcome to the Kaikoura Whale Run, the FUN event for everyone.

Thanks to Rachel and John at Kaikoura Four Square in the West End of Kaikoura, we bring you the Kaikoura Whale Run.

We’ve taken the Kaikoura Suburban 1/2 marathon, given it a nice fresh coat of paint and added some new bits. Still the same great courses with the variety that contestants love and the nice range of events so the whole family can have a crack at a challenge.

Rachel and John came to us and reckoned more folk should enjoy our great event. Come on they said, this is the fifth year of this event, you know what you’re doing, it’s unique, it’s as serious or fun as people want it to be, let’s crank it up.

So we’re all set and we challenge you to get or stay fit over the winter ready to rock n roll on 17 September.

We have some special help for you too. We have some key players from the Kaikoura keep fit scene to give you ideas on what you can be doing to get to healthy and happy fitness. Watch this place for motivating and challenging ideas from Kim, Emma and Jude. Careful though, these Chicks may try and push you a bit to challenges you never thought you could do!

Get fit, have fun and be healthy and happy ready for 17 Sept – The Kaikoura Whale Run.
