Jen Stephens
General Manager
Coming from a strong background in the sports/fitness industry and community project involvement, becoming part of the Toitu Poneke family was a natural step for me.
My family have been involved in grassroots sports for many, many years. I watched my parents consistently being involved in supporting local clubs year after year which is something I greatly admire. I grew up in the Bay of Plenty playing all manner of sports; swimming, athletics, volleyball and tennis at a local level with a focus on equestrian in my later school years. My 4 children have also all played some sort of weekend sport over the years.
Since 2018 I have been managing Snap Fitness Gyms around the Palmerston North area with a big focus of just keeping people moving. A highlight was seeing our local high school
Tamariki making use of the programs we had set up for them and watching them flourish. I was also very involved in our local Sands Community for 10 years, something I hold dear to my heart.
I moved to Pukerua Bay with my partner almost 3 years ago and fell in love with area. A year later I took up a Team Lead role at Habit Health and Fitness to manage the 3 health clubs here in Wellington.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my children and partner, my horse and getting out on the water on our Jetski.
