 Who is Desra Barron? |
| I was born in southland and raised on the west coast of the south island, an area well known as a playground for the outdoors with vast areas of bush, snow capped mountains and fast flowing rivers. I have always held a passion for the outdoors where I spend a lot of my time, this contributed to my decision to pursue a career in health and fitness when leaving school. |
| |
| In 1998 I relocated to Christchurch to train as a gym instructor with Christchurch Polytechnic where I gained a Certificate in Fitness Industry Training. |
| |
| After a number of years as a highly successful gym instructor and co-ordinator with many delighted clients achieving their goals I made the decision to “go it alone” and begin my own brand of personal training to satisfy a niche in the industry for clients who wanted real results and not just the hype of the latest fad, I believe that health and fitness is about the way you live your life and not an advertising campaign! |
| |
| In 2002 I made the decision to extend upon my skill-set into the complementary area of Massage Therapy; I enrolled in the Diploma in Massage Therapy 2 year course with The Canterbury Collage of Natural Medicine which I completed in 2005, shortly after I opened the central city massage clinic. |
| |
| I regularly attend industry events both locally, nationally and overseas to keep up-to date with trends and advances in the industry as well as keeping up my network of professional affiliations. |
| |
| In my free time I love doing things outdoors like skiing and snowboarding in winter, camping and water skiing in summer as well as road/mountain biking and kayaking when I can; I also compete regularly in events such as triathlons, mountain bike races and the Speight’s Coast to Coast! |
