Instilling a passion for sport and fitness at a young age can feel like a challenge for both parents and their children. Far from being something as simple as a violent activity; boxing has many benefits in developing children holistically, and these benefits could extend to school and everyday life. Active children are more confident, happier and tend to perform better academically and socially. Our after-school programmes are designed to give our tamariki the opportunity to build confidence, connections and character through boxing (non-contact). These core values will give our tamariki the skillset to take responsibility for their physical and mental health through engaging in future physical activity and sport for life, whether it be boxing or any other sport/activity.

PAX
FOUNDER/COACH/ADVENTURER
Pax's passion for health and fitness started from a young age where she threw herself into every sport possible. After finishing school she landed her first job at a rock climbing gym and spent the next half-decade refining and advancing her climbing skill set as well as learning the art of coaching. Her fascination with sport and human potential lead her to pursue study at AUT University majoring in Sport and Exercise Science. Yep, guess that means she's technically a scientist.
Just like her younger days, Pax continues to dabble in a variety of training styles and practices in a means to progress towards optimal human health and function; not only for her own personal gain but to grow as a coach that embodies the 'practice what you preach' philosophy.
Pax loves spending time with mother nature, going on adventures and trying everything and anything new.

NEHA KUMAR
AMBASSADOR

An environmental scientist by trade; this soulful Yogi is saving the earth and saving it’s humans through yoga, mindfulness and hot-spicy chai.

“My teaching is derived from my personal journey through mental health issues I wasn’t equipped to deal with, and an antidote was yoga, I didn’t realise it would unravel me to my truest calling and essentially my life path. But I do know this much; obstacles are there not to obstruct you from your path, but rather realign you to the path you were called here for. My life philosophy is 'hakuna matata' - ain’t no worries no matter what comes my way.”
