Abby Strong

Immersed in everything dance from the age of 5, right through to performing professionally on cruise ships all over the world at 20 years of age, the stage has always been Abby’s happy place!
This has naturally led her to feel right at home on the presenters stage also and enjoying the gift of educating and entertaining through speaking as well as dance.
As a boutique dance and fitness studio owner, Abby has spent the last 17 years, amongst performance contracts and study, teaching dance and 13 years instructing – more recently Personal Training within the fitness industry.
2018, saw her business, Studio Glow, take away ‘Studio of the Year’ at the NZ Exercise Awards.

In 2020 after a move from Hamilton to Tauranga, she has continued to blossom in her niche of women’s boutique fitness while contributing to a wide range of areas of the industry including Seniors Fitness, Dance-fitness and Pilates alongside some new passion projects.

Abby heads the team of Ambassadors who lead the Exercise Professionals Network of Aotearoa, enjoying the role for its ability to connect exercise professionals and form community. She is super excited to bring her first, ‘duo’ presenting session to Conference in 2023 and cannot wait to engage with you all, alongside the wonderful Nikki Williams, sharing on a topic close to both of our hearts – the power of culture!
