ANICA DOWNING - INSTRUCTOR
I’m so excited to be joining the team at Torque and get teaching! I am currently doing my last year of school at St Paul’s Collegiate before heading down South next year to study law.
Growing up on a farm I have always embraced a healthy lifestyle with a love for animals, the outdoors and a dedication to fitness.
My entry to fitness came through lifting weights at the gym before discovering Pilates, and I have not looked back since! I completed my training in July 2024 and have been working on amazing plans for my classes at every opportunity!
I enjoy being able to challenge my body in new ways which weights cannot accomplish and every session I find new ways to push myself. I look forward to being able to share my love for working out with you and help achieve your goals.

LACHE MANE - INSTRUCTOR
I am super excited to be a part of the Torque Fitness family. Having moved here from Christchurch 4 years ago, I am happy to call the beautiful Waikato my 2nd home.
Health and fitness have played a HUGE roll in my life from a young age having a vast background in sport and dance, predominantly competitive Aerobics which I was involved in for 15 years, having represented New Zealand at the 2003 world champs in Prague and 2011 in Australia, during this time I trained my own squad of dedicated athletes aged 10 - 18 years who I coached and choreographed routines for. Giving back to the sport that gave me so much, I found to be a natural and gratifying progression.
As soon as I gave Reformer Pilates a go, I knew it was the beginning of something really exciting for myself, it has quickly turned into something that I am very passionate about. Being able to share the mutual love for Reformer Pilates we have here at Torque Fitness is an absolute honour, and as an instructor I look forward to helping and seeing you evolve on your fitness journey, which is truly the most rewarding part.

TINA FOSTER - INSTRUCTOR
I grew up dancing and that love for movement continued throughout my high school years. Dance wasn’t just an activity for me; it was a way of expressing myself, of connecting with my body and mind. This passion for physical movement led me to explore all sorts of exercise over the years, from aerobics and weight training to Zumba, hip hop, yoga, and Qi Gong.
​
In 2024, my fitness journey took a beautiful new turn when I was introduced to Reformer Pilates. I remember the first time I tried it—it felt like something clicked. The focus on strength, flexibility, and mindful movement resonated with me instantly. I fell in love with the practice so quickly that I knew I wanted to share it with others. It aligns perfectly with my belief that everyone deserves to feel their best, both physically and mentally.
​
While I’ve always been dedicated to fitness, teaching was something new for me. But when the opportunity to become a Reformer Pilates instructor at Torque Fitness came my way, I knew I had to take it. It felt like the perfect next step—combining my love for movement with my desire to help others feel their best.
​
I spent several years working as a Branch Manager before leaving to pursue my true passion—helping others through contact care, orthobionomy, and reflexology.
Now, as a Reformer Pilates instructor, I am incredibly grateful to be able to share this powerful practice with you. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned athlete, I’m here to guide you through every move, ensuring that you feel supported and encouraged along the way.
​
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your fitness journey. I can’t wait to see you in class!
