your calm in the chaos. Holly is your grounded, collected and quietly powerful trainer. don’t be fooled by her composed energy. the hard work sneaks up on you in the most supported, intentional way.

with empathy at the core of her coaching, Holly creates a space where you feel seen, capable and completely backed, all while interlacing her signature humour throughout class (always). expect a strong workout, thoughtful guidance and plenty of moments that make you smile. right before you realise just how much you’ve worked.

with a strong gym background and experience working in the mental health space, she’s passionate about the mind-body connection and helping people feel supported, heard and confident enough to step outside their comfort zone. For Jess, getting stronger starts with feeling confident in how you move, and she loves helping clients build both.

outside the studio, you’ll find her out exploring the region with her doggies!

if you’ve been around Queenstown for a while, there’s a good chance you already know Laura - most likely from slinging coffees around town or from her little coffee caravan, Johnny Crema.

at the beginning of 2026, Laura decided she wanted to spend more time doing the things she loves, and becoming a CLUTCH trainer was one of them. She brings FUN vibes to the studio. upbeat, positive and the kind of person who believes in you so much that you start believing it too.

outside CLUTCH, she’s happiest by the lake, out hiking, cooking a feast or, unsurprisingly, having a good yap over a coffee or two.
