Colleen Linwood

Hello, I'm Colleen!

Having cared for both my parents during their cancer battles, I truly understand what it means to need support during tough times.

I started my own fitness journey back in 2017 and even after two hip replacements, I've kept going strong! This personal experience sparked my passion to become a qualified personal trainer, and now I'm honored to bring that knowledge to our Blue Brothers sessions in Ashburton.

When we meet for exercise, I make sure everyone feels comfortable working at their own pace. I get that some days are better than others when you're living with cancer. My style is practical and supportive - and I love to mix in a bit of humor because having a laugh together makes everything better!

But what I really look forward to is our cuppa and chat after the workout. This is where real connections happen. After seeing how important companionship is during illness, I believe this time to talk and share is just as valuable as the exercise itself.

I'm passionate about creating a space where you can build strength in your body while finding friendship and understanding. At Blue Brothers, we focus on living well through movement, laughter and good conversation.

"Believe in yourself—if you believe it, you can achieve it!"
