About
Kia ora, I'm Kiri.
Rival Fitness was built on a simple belief: your only rival is the best version of you.
My story
Why Rival.
I'm Kiri, a strength and performance coach with a background in powerlifting, bodybuilding, running and strength & conditioning. I created Rival Fitness to help people become stronger, more capable and more confident. I've always had a huge passion for exercise, and my goal is to help others find that same passion.
My coaching combines strength training with practical, sustainable nutrition and conditioning. Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time, returning to training after having children, chasing a new personal best or competing at a high level, your training should meet you where you are and help you progress from there.
I'm passionate about helping people feel confident with weights, teaching great technique, and showing them that feeling stronger overflows into every other area of their life.
No competing with everyone else. No chasing perfection. Just becoming a stronger version of yourself. That's Rival Fitness.
How I coach
What I believe.
Meet you where you are

Great technique
Lift well, then lift heavy. Good technique builds confidence with weights and keeps you training for years.
Sustainable nutrition
Practical food habits that fuel your training and fit your life. No crash plans.
Strength that overflows
Feeling stronger in the gym carries into every other area of your life.
