Instructor wins community’s votes

For the second year in a row, a Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre gym instructor has taken out the People’s Choice award in the NZ Exercise Industry Awards.

This year’s winner, Julie Bish, says the fact that the People’s Choice award was won twice by Leisure Centre instructors shows the support that the community has for the centre and the people who work there.

Julie has been a fitness instructor for 11 years and leads a range of Les Mills Group Fitness classes including BodyStep, BodyPump, CX Works and Grit Strength. She is also a personal trainer.

Last year another Leisure Centre instructor, Lis Macleod, won the category.

The winners were announced on November 24.
