Muriwai Beach Session DONE! π
Despite the heavy rain the night before and a seriously windy morning, 14 legends still showed up ready to put in the work! π₯
We kicked things off with a solid 25minute non stop block run which ended in a team circuit on the sand with a water shuttle challenge during.
Each team had a cone they had to fill using small cups, running shuttles back & forth to the waters edge to fill their cup to tip in their cone .... one team had different plans, they dug a little hole in the sand and created their own mini puddle which was a little closer to the cone that needed to be filled.
Safe to say, the strategy worked, with Scott, Heather, Ami & Bob taking out the team challenge! π
We finished the morning with a BBQ, sandwiches and enjoying eachothers company.
Big effort from everyone who showed up and battled the conditions! πͺππ₯
We had 10 sausages & a few sandwiches left at the end which didnt go to waste. They were offered to the kids and parents at the park which they were extremely thankful for ... one kid (probably 6 years old) even asked if he could take an extra drink for his sister because she had to stay at home. π

π₯ NEW GEAR HAS LANDED! π₯
The owner has just levelled up the gym with a brand-new set of Hammer Strength dumbbells, ranging from 10kg all the way up to 50kg!
Whether you're building strength, chasing that next PB, or just looking to push yourself a little harder, these bad boys are ready to put in some work.
Come in and give them a crack! π
*Reminder to not drop the dumbbells - we have been waiting for some new ones for a little while now due to members dropping them heavily and breaking them. If you are lifting heavy and can not control putting them down, get a spotter or go lighter. π

Another event day for 2026 DONE π
Shane Cameron HYROX event, for some, this was their very first fitness event EVER. π«‘
A few others who had previously tackled some events this year in pairs, took on the challenge of going individual this time around, it was nerve racking but with good training sessions building into the event day, they all SMASHED IT. π«
..For those who had never done an event before, stepping up and taking themselves out of their comfort zone was a HUGE achievement & we are ver proud of you all.
Everyone pushed themselves, showed incredible determination, and supported each other from start to finish.
We couldnβt be prouder of the effort, resilience and team spirit on the day. β£οΈ
