Amber Murray
Winter can sometimes feel a little dreary and many people find themselves stuck indoors hibernating from the cold winter chill. There is no way of brightening up the weather but you can certainly brighten up you’re home. Amber Murray, a sole parent who owns her own business, House Proud Painting Services, enjoys transforming tired homes into something that any home owner can be proud of. “A lot of people ask me how I manage as a solo mother and while work in this trade. It can be challenging sometimes, you have to be super organized but I love the job, it keeps me fit and I meet such fantastic people. “I have had been shown great support from local businesses over the years including the
wonderful team from Guthrie Bowron, Simone Hill, Cinnamon House Design and Peter Ray Homes which are great quality homes that I am proud to be painting,” she says. It hasn’t been easy for businesses coping with the recession, but Amber believes that things are improving. “There is no place like home and I pride myself on paying attention to detail, offering a smart professional painting service,” she says.

Sun Business Update
Reach your goals! One of the specialties of Kustom Fitness is designing specific training programmes to help athletes reach their individual goals. Owner-operators Gavin and Brayden say, whether you are simply looking to lose weight and keep fit or you are a serious athlete striving to reach goals, Kustom Fitness can help you get there. “Our main objective is getting people goal-orientated. People know where they want to be but they get stuck in a rut and that’s where we can help them out.” Brayden says the key to reaching your goals is not over-training, something many athletes do because
they believe it is helping them. “Over-training is common. The result is you end up with too much muscle breakdown and you end up weaker,” Gavin explains. Instead, Kustom Fitness focuses on getting as much as you can out of one training session a week, with the rest of the week dedicated to recovery. Client David Stubbs can testify to the success of this philosophy. He has recently been selected for the New Zealand wake boarding team to compete in the World Championships in Italy in July. “I always went to the gym but I just didn’t really have that many goals
and I wasn’t really seeing many results. He says he would have never made the New Zealand team had it not been for Kustom Fitness. “It’s helped my riding out a lot and just helped me with being smarter with my training, with more of an emphasis on recovery.” David’s program was a 32-Week Sports Program, with exercises relevant to his sport. It featured three different intensity phases so he peaked at his given goals. David’s programme was designed once again around the principle of not over-training, and delivered the desired results.
