PHILLIPA MATENGA
Fitness Trainer
Biography:
Our ‘young at heart’ teammate, Phillipa, can always be found with a giant smile on her face! This New Zealand native grew up playing sports but her “social life definitely held her back from committing to more intense training” (editor’s note: this isn’t shocking to us). However, Phillipa did play volleyball, netball, swimming, and rippa rugby high into ‘interschools’… which sounds intense enough for us.
You can find her around Rep1 leading a yoga stretch class or wearing her giant earphones during her workouts (indie, pop, or country are on the playlists). Phillipa can also be found with her fitness BFF, Laurey, running the stairs at Wreck, doing a cold dip, or doing handstand videos in the gym!

Getting my art piece on the front of my school’s work diary (Which was given to all the students that year) or singing in a rock band at school, maybe even doing the hoe down throw down at assembly 😅 – I always hated public speaking/performing growing up so this was a big accomplishment for me then. Fitness wise would be getting into interschools for athletics and swimming (winning medals) or winning rippa rugby competitions in primary with my school team OR maybe it was being able to eat triple my size while growing up and not putting on a pound.
The paper run. I learned that my grandma loved me so much she would deliver the paper for me.
