Hear from Others About Their Experiences with Motivationz:

Last week, I had the chance to watch a full session and was honestly blown away. The aroha and manaaki your coaches showed towards the girls was something quite special.

I just wanted to say that you have made a huge difference to Ben's swimming in a very short time. The best swimming lessons he has ever had! Ben was nervous about the school swimming sports today but the improvements you have helped him make meant that he won both his (B) races. So there you go! Thanks for your help.

Goodness Eloise is your biggest fan. Like all my girls, she is loving Motivationz, but of course the biggest thing about their passion for Motivationz is you and all you say and do. Speaking of lucky kids, how lucky to have a role model like you in their lives.

Rebecca Chen

Hi Nick, Thank you so much for your message. I really appreciate everything you and Motivationz have done for me over the years. You've supported me through such an important time in my life and I'm genuinely grateful for the guidance and encouragement you've given me since I was 15. It honestly means a lot to hear you say those things about my growth. I wouldn't be where I am now without the support and belief you've shown in me. I've really enjoyed being part of motivations and I'll always appreciate the impact it's had on me. Thank you for always having my back. I'll definitely say hi if I see you around, and I appreciate knowing I can still reach out. Wishing you all the best too.
