About Us

Husband and wife team Johnny and Tania Godinet opened their creation - Mindbody Studio - in July 2004. Johnny a former National League basketball player and Tania, who draws on 17 years in the corporate business of the ANZ Bank spent 2 years researching the fitness industry. Johnny also worked out of a central city personal training studio building a solid client base.  Johnny worked with a wide range of clients from business owners, corporates, hospitality workers to athletes.  Unfortunately the studio only offered one-on-one personal training sessions which meant clients could not come at any other time to workout.

Johnny and Tania noticed a niche in the market of people that want to look after their health and wellbeing but find large gyms intimidating.  Left with only personal training studios it then became very expensive for them to exercise.  Johnny and Tania recognised that these people wanted personal attention but in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Mindbody Studio is not just a gym - it's a place where people are educated to train smarter not harder.  Clients have the option of working with a Body Mentor or being trained to look after their own fitness and wellbeing.  The system that is offered is gradual and ongoing throughout the membership with no hidden costs.  The focus is on personal attention. 

Fitness Qualification held - Johnny Godinet holds an international fitness qualification with NetFit (formally Network for Fitness Professionals) obtained in 2000.  This is a respected and recognised international qualification. Sam Summerfield obtained NZIS PT qualification in 2000.
