Member Stories
Hear from some of our amazing members from both New Zealand and Australia, on why they're looking forward to the Summer Challenge!
Rosie Hollands
"I have been a DediKate member for years, with different levels of commitment as time has gone on, but I love that I continue to get motivational emails and challenges to uplift me when I am in a funk. We had a miscarriage in May and it hit us hard mentally. I am looking forward DediKate being my reset, for new habits, and for reconnecting with likeminded people, and to fall back in love with myself."
Tasman NZ
Nicola Jones
“There’s so many things I can think of that are amazing about DediKate. The supportive community, the endless choice of workouts at your fingertips, the trainers and their down-to-earth real life vibes (cats, kids, phone calls, impromptu guests 🤣).

Martina Kershaw
"I joined DediKate during Move for Mental Health week which gave me the motivation to get back in to exercise and has transformed my mental health!!
I love how you can pick and chose different workouts if you need a quick pick me up or a long relaxing session."
Wairarapa, NZ
Sarah Mackay
"I have been a DediKate member for a while now, and as the weather is getting warmer I'm super excited to get involved in the Summer Challenge. I'm particularly excited for the chance to test and monitor my fitness through the challenge. It can be hard to stay motivated when the weather starts to hit the extremes but I really think being involved in the Summer Challenge will help keep me excited, motivated and accountable"

“I absolutely love DediKate and all it has to offer in terms of variety and support. The fact that it fits in around my timetable, wherever I am and whatever I am doing is really appealing and keeps me consistent!”
QLD, Australia
Brooke Carrington
“I’ve been a DediKate member for almost 6 months and haven’t looked back. I am travelling Australia with very little fitness equipment. I didn’t think the variety and effectiveness of one platform was possible but it totally is with DediKate. I know the trainers and online community will encourage, motivate and inspire me to tackle the challenge. Let’s do this!”
Tamworth, NSW
Anna Winter
"I have been a DediKate member for a few years. I work in the construction industry where we like so many are time poor, I love that DediKate can be completed anywhere and in as little as 10min. It is a game changer with my energy levels, mindset and daily productivity. I’m looking forward to committing to a set challenge,hoping a few friends will join me too!"
Central Otago, NZ
Denise Wolsey
"I’m in my mid 50’s and until 3 years ago although I walked lots I’d never participated in any other form of exercise. I remember seeing a Dedikate ad and messaging my daughter to ask if she thought I was too old to start, without her encouragement I would never have signed up but it’s the BEST thing I have ever done for myself in years. 3 years on a Dedikate workout is how I start most days. I am stronger, more flexible and just feel so much better about my body and my fitness. I love the choice Dedikate has to offer, no matter how I’m feeling or where I am I can always find a workout that fits my mood or the situation."
