Steve loves nothing more than banging the drum for fitness, health and wellbeing! A 30-year veteran of the fitness industry both in NZ and the UK, he currently works as an independent assessor for REPs, a moderator for Fit Futures Academy and remains active as a trainer and group exercise instructor at local gyms leading a wide range of class formats – spin, box-fit, pump, seniors’ fitness, through to formats of his own creation.
A senior member of Tamashii Taiko Drummers for 12 years before retiring in 2024, Steve has merged his love for drumming and fitness as a Master Trainer for Drums Alive® – the original drumming fitness programme. In addition to creating choreography for Drums Alive®, he has delivered online workshops and Q&As and leads monthly classes at The Y North Shore in Auckland. Beyond that, Steve has conducted drumming-based fitness sessions in diverse settings—from schools to retirement homes—and has trained Drums Alive instructors in Australia.
He embraces innovative approaches to fitness and wellbeing, taking a holistic view in his classes to develop both mind and body, while striving to foster connection among participants, regardless of what he’s teaching.
