PRIVATE GYM - Located in Woodend, North Canterbury
Meet Your Trainer - Kelly Payne
With over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people move better, feel stronger, and create lasting change.
I’m a Level 5 Qualified Personal Trainer, former New Zealand athlete, and the founder of Bellabody - launched in 2010 to bring a more personal, grounded, and results-driven approach to wellness.
My journey began at Les Mills, working on the gym floor and leading world-class group fitness classes. I went on to work internationally as a Fitness Director with Steiner Transocean, further developing my skills in training, movement, and leadership. Alongside my hands-on experience, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge through ongoing education in advanced exercise science, pilates, yoga, and functional mobility.
Whether we’re training one-on-one in my private studio or working together through mobile sessions, or a session at the beach I specialize in helping clients perform at their best, feel more confident in their bodies, and build habits that last.
My approach as a trainer is holistic and client-led, and I’ve recently been supporting women who’ve requested guidance with cycle syncing helping them align their training and recovery with the natural rhythms of their bodies for better energy, performance, and balance.
My athletic background helps me bring a unique edge to my coaching - blending discipline, mindset, and movement in a way that’s effective and empowering. When I’m not in the gym, you’ll find me doing what I love, surfing, yoga, biking, moving outdoors, and spending time with my family.
Let’s build a stronger, more energised version of you - one session at a time.
