Hi, I’m Warren Manson - founder of X Factor Fitness.

I’m a Hutt Valley/New Zealand based Personal Trainer with many years of experience in weight and resistance training, which is primarily my key focus in guiding you to success. 

My journey with weight training began 25+ years ago, having moved on from sport but still wanting to maintain strength, fitness and a healthy lifestyle/physique.

My next challenge came when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which I have now been living with for more than 20 years. This experience has allowed me to provide invaluable advice and support to others who are new to a gym environment and have been diagnosed as either diabetic or pre-diabetic.

Being based at the Lower Hutt club within New Zealand’s largest gym group allows me to provide a large number of exercise and progression options using a wide range of equipment to suit your level of training. This means we can customise an exercise program to suit your ability, needs and goals.

By using these resources as our training tools, we can accelerate your health and fitness journey to where you want or need to get to. Here’s a summary of how I can help you: 

• Work with you to set targets and provide guidance for you to reach your goals faster.

• Teach you correct exercise technique so that you maximise progress and prevent injury.

• Develop exercise programs which are constantly challenging.

• Push you beyond training plateaus by introducing new variations and fresh ideas.

• Motivate and drive you to greater achievement.

• Keep you accountable and help you to maintain good exercise habits, as well as create a great experience so you love coming to the gym.

• Help to boost your self-confidence and self-esteem.

• Support you on every step of your journey.
