It’s been a sad day today as we farewell Coach Monz 💪☹️
Dedicated, hardworking, and passionate — you’ve pushed us to be our best every single session.
We’ll miss your energy, drive, and encouragement, but we’re so proud and excited for you🫶🏻
Us coaches will miss having such a epic team member apart of us but you will always be welcome at Ōtāhuhu & you’re only down the road at Mt Welly💯🙏🏽
Wishing you all the best — we know the BFT Mt Wellington crew are lucky to have you & will take care of you for sure!

Happy 2nd Birthday, BFT Ōtāhuhu!
From day one, we’ve been on a mission to help our people in South Auckland get into fitness and improve their health, burn bodyfat and build strength, and truly, change their lives: what a journey it’s been! 💙
💪 Over the past two years, we have:
Run many successful eight‑week challenges, pushing our community to smash goals—from building strength to burning body fat
Helped our members lose a combined 1,000 kgs (and counting!)
Brought home two Inter‑Club BFT Sports Day victories 🏆
Supported a fantastic member turnout at Hyrox Auckland, led by superstar coaches Quinn, Kyra & Mons
Survived six mysterious roof leaks
Destroyed four ceiling tiles with epic wall‑ball wins 🎯
A massive thank you to our past & present coaches, every single member who’s ever trained with us, our supporters & sponsors (including all the South Auckland BFT studios and the Otāhuhu Business Association), and, of course—our dream team Quinn, Kyra, Mons, Hannah & Tai (plus some awesome guest coaches who have helped too).
Here’s to many more milestones and lasting transformations at BFT Ōtāhuhu!
Thanks to you all,
James

🎀💪 MONICA. MONZ. THE FEMALE HULKY. SHE CAME TO SLAY. 💥✨
Turf Wars will never be the same after what Coach Monica delivered today. PBs? Crushed. Final cardio? DOMINATED. Her strength, stamina, and spirit lit up the entire arena. Every move screamed dedication, grit, and pure athletic brilliance.
It was an absolute privilege to witness her in full flight. With Coach Glammy leading as head ref, the vibes were immaculate and the energy electric. But Monica made the turf her own—a true queen of the battleground.
👏 Congratulations, Monz. You gave us a performance that will echo through every sweat-soaked corner of that gym for weeks to come. Your hustle is unmatched, your heart is massive, and your glow-up today? Legendary. We are so proud of you!
