🌟 Huinga 21 – Week 1 Complete! 🌟

A massive congratulations to all of our incredible whānau who have successfully completed Week 1 of Huinga 20!

The commitment, honesty, courage, and willingness to show up for yourselves and each other has been inspiring to witness. Every kōrero shared, every challenge embraced, and every step taken toward better hauora is a testament to the strength that exists within our whānau.

We finished the week with one of the most powerful Mauri Circles we have experienced. The vulnerability, support, aroha, and connection that filled the space reminded us exactly why we do this mahi. When we come together, uplift one another, and share our journeys, healing and growth become possible.

To each and every one of you – thank you for trusting the process, trusting yourselves, and trusting the collective strength of the rōpū. Week 1 is complete, and what an amazing foundation has been laid for the weeks ahead.

Keep celebrating your wins, no matter how big or small. We see you. We acknowledge you. We are proud of you.

He Toa Takitini – Success is not the work of one, but the work of many. 💪🏽✨

Bring on Week 2! 🔥

Huinga 20 – Week 5 & 6 💫

We have just closed out the final week of our 6-week HTT journey, we just want to take a moment to acknowledge the strength, courage, and commitment shown by every single one of our whānau.

Week by week, you showed up, even when it was hard. You leaned into the kaupapa, you backed yourselves, and you backed each other. We’ve witnessed growth not just in the tinana, but in the hinengaro, wairua, and whānau connections. That kind of transformation doesn’t happen by chance, it happens because you chose it.

There have been moments of vulnerability, honesty, and deep reflection. You’ve faced challenges head-on, pushed through barriers, and celebrated wins both big and small. The consistency, the resilience, and the aroha within this rōpū has been something truly special to witness.

To our award recipients across the journey, those who showed unwavering commitment, those who uplifted others, those who dug deep and trusted the process, we see you. You’ve set a standard and inspired everyone around you.

But more than anything, this journey isn’t about the end, it’s about what you take forward. The habits, the mindset, the belief in yourself. That’s the real taonga.

We are so proud of you all. This is just the beginning 💛

✨ Huinga 21 is just around the corner!
If you’ve been thinking about making a change, reconnecting with yourself, and being part of something powerful — now is your time.

Come jump on board and see what its about whānau.

Week 3 & 4 – Huinga 20
Taha Tīnana

The past two weeks have been powerful. The work you’ve all put into your taha tinana has not gone unnoticed the effort, the discipline, and the willingness to step outside your comfort zones has been next level.

Seeing you take on new adventures, try new things, and back yourselves has been inspiring. You didn’t just show up… you leaned in, you pushed through, and you proved to yourselves that you’re capable of more.

Now it’s time to lift the bar even higher. Don’t get comfortable here this is where the real growth begins. Dig deeper, push harder, and keep chasing that next level. There’s more in you, and it’s ready to come out.

Huinga 20 – Week 2

It’s been an emotional, raw, but incredibly powerful week in our space.

This week, we stepped into Taha Hinengaro, a space that challenges you, stretches you, and asks you to face the things that often sit quietly in the background. It is, without a doubt, one of the toughest weeks of our kaupapa… but also one of the most transformative.

What has stood out the most is the way our whānau have shown up not just for themselves, but for each other. Every single member has held space with compassion, honesty, and strength. There has been vulnerability, there have been tears, but there has also been deep connection, understanding, and growth.

This is where the real mahi happens.
Not just physical change, but mental and emotional shifts that will carry our whānau far beyond this journey.

We are witnessing courage in its purest form — choosing to lean in instead of pulling away, choosing to speak instead of staying silent, and choosing growth even when it feels uncomfortable.

So proud of our Huinga 20 whānau. The strength in this group is undeniable, and the way you uplift each other is something truly special.

Keep going. You are doing the work, and it shows ❤️

Huinga 20, Week 1

What a way to start the journey! 🔥
Our Huinga 20 whānau have come in with intention, commitment, and a fire that can’t be ignored. From day one, they have chosen to show up for themselves and that energy is already creating powerful shifts.

Week 1 is all about setting the foundation, grounding ourselves in our WHY, and building habits that will carry us through. And let me tell you… their WHY is not just strong, it’s driving action, discipline, and real change.

A combined loss of 14.6kgs in just ONE week is nothing short of incredible. This isn’t luck, this is focus, accountability, and a whānau moving together with purpose. Every early morning, every choice, every moment of pushing through… it’s all adding up.

But beyond the numbers, what’s really standing out is the mindset. The support. The way this rōpū is lifting each other, backing each other, and refusing to give up. That’s where the real transformation lives.

And the exciting part? This is only Week 1. Imagine where they’ll be in 5 weeks… 👀

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, thinking about starting your own journey, take this as your sign. This kaupapa is about more than weight loss. It’s about reclaiming your hauora, finding your people, and proving to yourself what you’re truly capable of.

Our whānau are showing what’s possible. The question is… are you ready to be next?
