“Alone; we can do so little. Together; we can do so much”.

Introducing our 8WC Male winner 🥁.

Meet our humble lunchtime class representative ⏱️🏋🏽‍♀️. Much like Samwise Gamgee to Frodo, you often see Sam with always standing by his side 🤜🏼🤛🏼.

Just as Sam motivated Frodo to destroy the One Ring, Sam's encouragement and dedication is a perfect reflection of his 8WC results, conquering coaches’ targets (or Travis’s👀 “Cmon Trav”) together 🎯✔️.

4.9kg of body fat down, but a whopping 2.9kg increase in muscle mass 😮‍💨.

We are PROUD to announce our 8WC Male winner, Sam! 🥳🎉.

Introducing our 8WC female runner-up 🥁.

The new kid on the block 👀. Always bringing the energy and is never short of a smile! 😁 Ask her anything about anime and she’ll fill you in with all the details! 📺 You’ll see her walking in with her fortitude singlet (we get it, you did CrossFit) 🏋🏽‍♀️😉 Loves a barbell clean and jerk! She’s an extremely hard work (when she wants to, or when she gets caught resting🤭) but her relentless dedication and strong work ethic was the key to her 8WC journey and success 🙌🏼

We are PROUD to announce our 8WC female runner up: Mili!

We are so proud of you Mili! We’re glad to be part of your success journey!

“I’ve tried a number of sports as a kid - netball, a stint at badminton, roller skating (🛼) and rhythmic gymnastics 🤸‍♀️. In more recent years, there’s been yoga, Zumba, 🚵‍♀️ and 🏃🏻‍♀️- but as an adult, I’ve struggled to be self motivated with exercise. I’d often find something else to prioritise, a reason or an excuse to put it off.

In September 2022, with work and two teenagers (and no fitness routine), I thought life was busy and I didn’t have time to prioritise my own fitness…but I wanted to be stronger.

I trialled at another local gym but it wasn’t a good fit for me. Mark had been at the jungle for a few months already so I decided to give it a go. As a feminist, I was almost deterred by the jokes (🤣) but pushed through and was surprised how quickly it became a habit to be at the jungle most days.

My body has survived a lot over the years, but I’m so proud of the progress I’ve made over the last year. I’m now fitter and stronger than I ever remember. I’ve learnt so much and this is just the beginning - I’m committed to the lifestyle change 🙏🏽

Now rather than looking for excuses, I’m looking for ways to make the week work to fit in my gym classes. In a busy household, it takes a bit of planning, but it’s worth it and it’s an investment in our future!

I’m usually a 4.45er and Mark is part of the 6am crew, but we get to hang out together at 7.30 on a Saturday morning…recently making it on the white board for the first time (for me)…power couple! 😍 However, the two pinnacles of my sporting ventures over the years, although 33 years apart, share a theme - Jump Rope for Heart skipping at the 1990, Commonwealth games closing ceremony, and of course taking out the women’s weighted ball skipping challenge in the most recent BFT 8WC 2023 💪🏽

Seriously though, I’ve worked in mental health for over 20 years, but the best thing I’ve done for my own mental health is joining Mt Welly Jungle in 2022”. 🦍💗

It’s that time again…where us coaches, embark on yet, another journey to raise awareness for the Heart Foundation 💗. However, our members have decided our fate of ‘walking the talk’ and ‘leading from the front’ by donating every cent (and I mean, every cent – we found Australian coins lol 🤦🏽‍♂️)out of ‘love’ and respect for this special initiative!

As always, we’ve switched things up (pun-intended😂). Our calories for every dollar that was donated went up from 2 to 5 calories 😮‍💨 These calories will be completed in old fashion style. We’re throwing it 🔙 to where it all started… Lunn Ave, McDonalds 🤭 Oops, we mean Lunn Ave Intersection where we happily suffered doing Beep for Burpees on that rough gravel track 🫠

We think it’s time to support our community in stepping outside our comfort zones again, to practice what we preach in the heart of Maungarei!

🗓️ DATE: SATURDAY 6TH AUGUST
⏰ TIME: 11AM - LUNCH
📍LOCATION: Lunn Ave (New World & McDonalds Intersection).

Calories to be completed:
🎯 Misi (385 cals) & Jake (220 cals)
🎯 Cait (450 cals) & Fe (220 cals)
🎯 Amy (460 cals) & Nikul (130 cals)
🎯 Beep for Burpees

Come together with friends, families, or neighbours to support our special initiative for the Heart Foundation! 💗 Or whisper in each of our coaches ears: “NEARLY THERE, HALFWAY THERE, DUHOOWN FOR THAT BURPEE, GO TO ______ IF YOU WANT EASY, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?! *as coaches are dying*”. 😫😭😂

We hope to see you there, and most importantly, pave the way for a healthier and heartier future! 🙏🏽 Side note: YES, we will be taking note of who comes to ‘support’. YES, we will be taking note of who goes to McDonalds instead of New World. YES, Caitlin & Nikul are never in our group photos. YES, Fe’s photoshop was perfect 😂 & Yes, the Beep for Burpees sign will make its comeback this Saturday. Swipe left for throwbacks 📷

We’ve did the hard yards in losing body fat percentage through our 8 week challenge. Now it’s time to build and sculpt that sand castle! ⏳🏖️

From tomorrow, we start the ‘Bench Mark’ - a 9 week training block focusing on developing strength, technique, & progression! This is why we’re different, better 😉

Our two main exercises are the Barbell Back Squat and Barbell Military Press 🏋🏽‍♀️ We will be strength testing in WEEK 2, & WEEK 9 which provides us with ample opportunity to grow and be stronger 🦍 Note that this is totally optional. An opportunity you don’t want to miss!

As our bodies are capable of extraordinary things (like putting your body on the line to make the whiteboard 🤭), they also require proper care and maintenance to perform at their best (especially at the Jungle) 🦍.

We are ecstatic to announce that one of our most dedicated and OG 5AM member, Steph Patterson, will now provide her expertise in Physiotherapy as Habit Health Mount Wellington at our whare! 🍃

Habit Health Mount Wellington offers a wide variety of services including physiotherapy treatment, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation and massage 💆🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️. They will be located inside BFT Mt Wellington (top floor), with parking available at the door 🚪. Steph will be joined by her amazing colleague, Michaela Dawson 🙋🏻‍♀️.

Reflecting on Steph’s Journey, she graduated from AUT Akoranga in 2004 with a BHSc Physiotherapy. With a passion for healing and a commitment to her patients' well-being, Steph has earned a reputation for her dedication and expertise through managing Waitakere Stadium Physio clinic at the Trusts Arena since 2007 💗. During this time, she gained extensive experience with the Auckland Lions Bartercard league team, Mount Albert Lions Rugby League team, Metro Lions American Football, and the Northern Mystics Netball Franchise 🏐🏈. In 2018, she became a clinic director, which set her apart as a true leader in her profession and now, known as one of the most highly regarded Physio’s in her field today! 😍

Steph has been based in her Henderson clinic for the past 17 years and looks forward to expanding her clinic to be closer to Maungarei 🏔️. By prioritizing our health and well-being through positive lifestyle choices, we can enjoy a higher quality of life and be better prepared to face whatever comes our way!

So make sure you swipe left (⬅️) for her details, which include her website, bookings and hours! 💆🏻‍♀️🫸🏼🫷🏼

NZ Police Gateway for Youth. These South Auckland kids are part of a program with the Pirihimana and MSL Training looking to join the police and enquired to see if we can take them through a workout with our lunch time members.... being a South Auckland boy myself and having my fair share of run-ins with the cops, how could we say no...... it was payback time! 😉 quite therapeutic yelling and swearing at Police 🤭 thank you to for the connect ❤️ dm us if you want to bring in your team 🦍
