We hope you had a refreshing break and are feeling ready to reset, refocus, and build strong habits for the year ahead. January is all about momentum, whether you’re jumping back into training, starting fresh, or simply moving your body more consistently. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Introducing Arlene, our new Group Fitness Coordinator

We’re excited to officially welcome Arlene Thomas-Hewitt to the Habit Health whānau as our Group Fitness Coordinator.

Arlene brings 30+ years of experience in the group fitness industry, and many of you may already know her. She will be primarily based at Majestic, overseeing all group fitness classes and instructors across Majestic and Evans Bay.

Arlene is passionate about high-quality classes, instructor development, and creating an inclusive, motivating group fitness environment — we’re thrilled to have her leading this space in 2026.

Be sure to say hello when you see her around the gym.

Don't forget, bring a friend Fridays!

Training is better with friends! Every Friday, as members you are invited to bring a friend along for FREE to train with you.

Whether it’s a gym session or a class, it’s a great way to:

• Stay motivated
• Try something new together
• Introduce friends and whānau to Habit Health

 Just check in with reception with your friend when you arrive.
