Progressive Training

Progressive Training Kia tū pakari ai, Kia tū kaha ke, Kia noho whānau ora. www.progressivetraining.co.nz Hey I'm Ben and I've been personal training for over 10 years.

To see people stand confidently, self-assured and strong to enhance the wellbeing of their entire families and communities. I started out in Ōpotiki following my mates to a Certificate in Recreation & Sport straight out of college, and ended up studying this absolute passion of mine! My passion has taken me around the world on cruise ships for a year before bringing me back to Aotearoa where I finished off my degree and am now in the space of teaching at Toi Ohomai Mokoia Campus. I've met some amazing people and customise plans so they can achieve their specific goals. These can vary in lifestyle support and all areas of exercise and nutrition from fat loss and muscle gain, to sport specificity and competition preparation. I have a bit of a mantra which has helped me to participate in varying disciplines such as Mau Rākau, Crossfit, Strongman, Olympic Lifting, MMA and Bodybuilding: "Time and Effort Consistently = RESULTS"

If you're willing to make some changes, LET ME KNOW and we can go from there. Hear from you soon!

Reminiscing on the NZ CROSSFIT NATIONALS campaign. Loved the journey & he process leading up. The result 😄 not so much. But more was learnt during the journey than any result would have given us.
Until next time....

Hari Huritau 🎂
Words could never express the love and the endless appreciation I have for all of you at the radio. Sister , bro I freaken love you bro.
You helped push me towards te ao Māori, while studying under alongside the OGs and big brotha ... This year i begin Te Pīnakitanga under Te Whare Wananga O Aotearoa thanks to you all whanau.
Without Moana Radio, my business .training.nz would not have had the start up it did, and got me out helping our Whanau with the kaupapa with help from and Te Puni Kōkiri. This is but a snippet of how you helped my business grow, not to mention our PT sessions with the crew, Fridays, and segments on air.
My ♥ started at Te Poipoia te Mokopuna kōhanga reo because of you, and rolls of to te Kura Kaupapa o Matapihi Tomorrow.... His reo will far exceed his mother's and I and we thank you again.
Along this journey have come many other beautiful people, groups, opportunities.. I have to mention Tūtara Kauika ki Rangataua my veery 1st Kapahaka roopu I've trained... Nōku te hōnore 🙏🏾 and my brotha
🌊 Moana Radio... You gave me opportunity at the beginning when many others said NO. Instead of colleagues, and friends, you gave me a whanau, cuzzies, brothaz, sistaz and a place to call home 🏡.
Nōku te whiwhi. Kore aku mihi kua oti, kore aku aroha kia koutou e mutu.
