Nicky Davis didn’t set out to run a gym - but when her sister asked her to help open F45 One Tree Hill, she brought her teaching instincts and deep care for people into the fitness world. Six and a half years later, the studio has become more than a place to work out: it’s a vibrant, ego-free community that reflects the heart of Onehunga.

In this episode, Nicky shares her journey from early childhood education to becoming the operational force behind one of New Zealand’s top-performing F45 studios. She talks about navigating business challenges like COVID lockdowns, building a team culture based on trust and openness, and the unique character of Onehunga as a business hub.

We also hear about leadership lessons, bust some myths about fitness (especially for women), and what it takes to maintain a supportive gym environment in a changing suburb.
