Patu Aotearoa

Patu Aotearoa is an enterprise aimed at improving the fitness and health of Maori and Pasifika people who wouldn't normally go near a gym. After working together as personal trainers, Levi Armstrong and Jackson Waerea, developed an exercise programme that they took to workplaces, schools and marae around Hastings in 2012. It now operates in Napier, Waipukurau, Wairoa and Kaikohe, with the possibility of setting up in KeriKeri.
