Business
Elise Niu is a personal trainer, health and wellness entrepreneur and speaker. After leaving National representative sport nine years ago she turned her focus to functional fitness and strength training, and set up Functional Hiit in 2017. Membership grew so fast that she outgrew the original gym she began her business in. She now has her own studio, offers online nutrition and bootcamp courses, and is in the process of launching a line of active-wear for pregnant mums. Elise is passionate about service and is dedicated to creating and nurturing communities and she won the Electra People’s Choice Business Award in 2018. Elise lives on the Kapiti Coast, NZ with her spunky husband Ray and their four beautiful children. She is on a mission to make Aotearoa the most happiest, active place on the planet!
