Tiani has officially been recognized in the international database as a certified Xtreme Hip-Hop™ (XHH) instructor, granting her the authority to teach Xtreme Hip-Hop Step while using the authorized name and logo! XHH has welcomed her into the family with open arms.

The Significance of Her Certification
This certification allows Tiani to deliver exclusive XHH movements and routines that only certified instructors are authorized to teach. When she began her journey in step instruction, her goal was to earn a qualification. Not only has she achieved that, but she has also successfully placed herself and Tikitiki on the global map.

Acknowledging Tiani’s Hard Work
We are incredibly proud of her and want to acknowledge the countless hours she has dedicated to becoming the first locally based XHH instructor. From mastering routines and developing modifications to accommodate all fitness levels to practicing alongside her equally committed partner, Sensamelia, it’s clear that this journey has become an addiction for both of them. I am immensely proud of her and believe she truly deserves all the recognition she's receiving for her hard work and dedication to her craft.

Phil’s Impact as an Xtreme Hip-Hop Instructor
Phil is breaking barriers as a Xtreme Hip-Hop instructor, showing that fitness knows no gender and making it a fun and empowering space for men to get fit and groove.

Join Us for Exciting Classes!
Don;t get left behind. If you’re interested in joining us, come by at 4:30 PM on Wednesday to give it a try—your first class is free! Be sure to chat with Tiani about becoming a regular stepper.

Free Classes for Men in 2024
Plus, for the rest of 2024, Xtreme Hip-Hop classes are FREE FOR MEN! What’s more, every male that attends any class delivered by The Local will go into the draw to win a $50 Sports Fuel voucher, drawn on Christmas Day.

Unsure what Xtreme Hip-Hop is? Here's a paku example, peep the men grooving it on out.

Last but not least, our final roopu will be completing their Xtreme Burn Qualification this month!
We envision this class being a staple at our three locations in Ruatoria, Te Riu o Waiapu and Matakaoa. We also hope to see this body weight class feature at community events, giving everyone an opportunity to join in and experience the benefits of this dynamic workout.

Our team of coaches have initiated their journey toward earning their Level 1 CrossFit Qualification.
This is yet another exciting opportunity for our communities to try something they’ve only ever seen on screen or engaged in while living away, now being brought to life and led by our very own on our back doorstep 😍
