Mānawatia a Matariki!

Some of the crew were up early this morning to climb the Papamoa Hills. We were lucky enough to see the Matariki star cluster from the carpark and then walk down as the sky brightened into this stunning day. Always a bit windy and cold at the summit though 🥶

I will always appreciate this bunch that are up for all the adventures!

This is your reminder to check that your everyday grocery items are helping you toward your goals.

So often with the staples we just buy what we've always bought, but the simplest little tweaks can make a huge difference.

Still recovering from a big weekend away with the crew for the Hawkes Bay Marathon.

We had so many PB's, some of the group ticking off their first half marathons, great company, supportive 'uber' drivers, and lifetime memories.

AND the legend Tony placed 3rd in his age group for the 10km!

Looks like we'll be back next year! 🏃‍♀️🏃

Hawkes Bay Marathon

We held the 8 Week Challenge prizegiving at our Christmas Party recently, and having to judge between all the amazing results our participants got was a tough task!

Between the 13 people who completed their post-scan in time for judging, the crew collectively lost 44.5kg of bodyfat (or 89 blocks of butter)! They also lost a whopping 232.4cm² of visceral fat! 🤯

Our first place winner, taking home the Smiths Sports Shoes Tauranga voucher was Julia Archer!

Over the 8 weeks, Julia:

✔️ Gained 700g muscle
✔️ Lost 44.9cm² of visceral fat
✔️ Cut 10 sec from her 500m row
✔️ Went from 30 unbroken situps to 150
✔️ Wall sit went from 1.13 minutes to 6.03 minutes

In second place, winning the Rest & Relaxation Package from DB Massage Therapy & Recovery, Parker & Co, and Real Rad Food, we had Age Gibbs!

The battle between the teams got heated at times and the final result came down to a crazy 3 point difference!

The winners were Back in Black with 1190 points!

Congratulations to everyone for giving their all in the challenge!

Special thanks to Jack at NZ Body Scans for all our scans.
