Construction of a groundbreaking 1200 square metre gym and recovery centre is set to get underway in Wānaka.

The gym is the brainchild of former Olympian (cycling) and elite athlete Bianca Simpson who has taken her passion for sport to forge a career in the fitness industry.

Bianca, an accomplished certified personal trainer and mentor, is drawing on her vast experience as a former gym owner in Philadelphia, USA, and says the new Wānaka venture “promises to redefine fitness standards with a state-of-the-art facility”. 

“This new establishment marks a pivotal moment in Wanaka’s fitness scene, combining cutting-edge technology with my expertise and experience to create a unique fitness centre,” Bianca said.

“I have worked with professional athletes, celebrities, those in the corporate world, collegiate athletes, stay at home parents and those suffering from mental health disorders such as food disorders and depression.”

Bianca said she is a big advocate for mental health and children with autism, and that she is hoping the new facility will support kids with autism in the future.
