Every month, we want Ngā Tāne to be a constant for our men. A space to show up, get a sweat on, have a kōrero and start the day feeling a little better than when they arrived. Each month we’ve seen it grow, not just in numbers but in the support and tautoko our men show one another. There’s no pressure to open up, but the space is there if you want to. Our hope is that everyone leaves with a clearer head, a full cup and a good start to the week ahead. That’s what Ngā Tāne is about. WAY more than just a workout. 💚

Yeooow! What a couple of days for our PUSH10 Endurance whānau! 🥵🔥 The heat was something else and definitely made an already tough test that much harder! How good was it watching people surprise themselves?! Amongst all the hard mahi, there was plenty of laughter, mates getting through it together, whānau cheering each other on and people sticking around to tautoko those still going. That’s the good stuff! That’s whanaungatanga. 💚 Week 1 benchmark is set! In Week 10 we come back, give it another crack and see what nine weeks of mahi can do. No comparing, no chasing anyone else. Just YOU vs YOU. He mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. The effort, the manawaroa and the support over these two days were something special. Ka rawe, e te whānau! 💚

WHATS NEXT⁉️ Since my previous 90day vlog finished, that’s been the question. Well… today marks 87 days until Xmas 🎅🏽 October 5th the new @push___fitness Push 10: Your way starts. A 10 week commitment to creating some positive habits and lasting change 🤎 I’ve personally held the opinion that many gym challenges are more focussed on being a marketing tool than actually being helpful to people so it’s exciting to see the crew commit to something that’s more intentional and built for longevity 💪🏽 No scans, no gimmicks, just mahi 🏋️ 🏃🏾 So 10 weeks = 70 days 🗓️ New Vlog coming soon 🫡

Ngā Tāne – Session 5 🤝 Another awesome morning with the lads. Great to see some new faces alongside plenty of familiar tāne who keep coming back each month. No cardio this time 😂 Just plenty of weights being lifted in a true bro session. We were lucky to have Dr Angela McGregor join us this month. Angela does a lot of work with men and her kōrero definitely got the lads thinking, while giving them the opportunity to share some of their own experiences. Jesse from @bodylogicnp was also on deck, offering treatment for any of the boys carrying a few niggles or injuries. Safe to say he was in hot demand! And of course, we finished with an amazing kai. A special thank you to our ladies who did some baking for the morning — very much appreciated! That’s what these mornings are all about. Everyone chipping in where they can to create something that supports our tāne. As always, a massive mihi to Isiah from Profound for continuing to support this kaupapa. 🙌🏽

As coaches, we can write the recipe, but you guys still have to cook it 😂 We can programme the progressions, manage the volume, build the loads and have a reason behind what we’re doing each week. But the results still come from people turning up and doing the mahi. That’s why days like today are some of the best. Every lift had an audience. Every hard rep had someone yelling! (Especially Coach Teish 😅) And when someone surprised themselves, there was a room full of people just as stoked. That was seen and felt during our 9.20 and 12.30 classes today! The programme did its job. You guys did yours. 🤝 Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini. - My strength/success is not mine alone, but that of many.

Ngā Tāne tuawha 🍃 It’s easy to put on a workout. It’s much harder to build a space that people genuinely want to come back to. Today’s Ngā Tāne reminded us that’s exactly what this kaupapa is becoming. Ngā mihi nui to everyone who helped make the morning what it was. A huge thank you to: • @isiah.reynolds.3 for the meat 🥩 • @erinsnotonthegram for the unreal homemade focaccia 🍞 • @thewilliams_eats for the delicious baking 🍪 • @thedreadedbarber13 and @devlin.cutz from @kingssocietybarbershop for giving up their time to keep the lads looking sharp ✂️ Most importantly, Ngā mihi to every tāne who gave up an hour of their Sunday morning to be there. For choosing to move your tinana, share a few bants, have a kōrero, and simply be part of something bigger than yourselves. Every person who shows up helps create a space where other Tāne know they’re welcome too. He waka eke noa. Ngā mihi nui, e te whānau. 🤝🏽

Mīharo rawa Tikanga Talks 🫶🏽 An awesome evening of whanaungatanga and idea exchange. A lot of challenges offered, perspectives shared and practical lessons we can apply every day. A couple of those: 1) Whether you speak Te Reo or not - doesn’t make you any more or any less Māori 2) There’s a void between what is statistically and historically true and what people assume - fill that void 3) Governorship isn’t ownership 4) Pick one item/thing to call by its Māori name from here on out and never go back. 5) Time doesn’t exist, clocks exist. Time is just an agreed upon construct. We have taken distance (one rotation of the earth, and one orbit of the sun) divided it up into segments, then given those segments labels. While it has its uses, we have programmed to live our lives by this construct as if it were real. We have confused our shared construct with something that is tangible and thus have become its slave

Before you decide you’re “not ready for that yet”, “too unfit” or “too scared”… read this. Meet @fionap2016 Most commonly known as Aunty Fi 💚 Fiona ran her first half marathon at 51. She and her husband followed a training plan printed in the newspaper, and she hasn’t really looked back since. Around 10 half marathons later, she’s still chasing challenges. But ask her what was harder than running 21km… Walking into a gym for the first time. She was nervous. She wondered if she belonged. That’s a feeling SO many people know, but not many people talk about. Now, strength to her isn’t about lifting the heaviest weights. It’s about being able to get off the floor when she’s older. It’s about saying yes when her three granddaughters ask Nana to go down the slide! It’s about staying independent, keeping up with the people she loves, and showing those girls what’s possible. Training also became her reset. After years in a stressful job, it gave her somewhere to leave the day behind. Last year she took on Next Level Fitness Race, this year it was HYROX. Both we scary! Her advice? Take the step. “Feel the fear, and do it anyway” Ngā mihi, Fiona. Thanks for reminding us that courage isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you practise. 💚
