The Resistance - Women's Strength Training Community with Janine Couchman

Strength in your 40s isn’t about taking up less space.

It’s about carrying every grocery bag in one trip. Picking up your kids without your back lodging a formal complaint. Having energy left after 3pm - and walking into the rest of your life with confidence.

We’re not training to get smaller. We’re training to make life feel bigger.

That’s what we build at The Resistance. Come and see for yourself. 💪

Looking forward to being a part of this day! 🌳💪🥾

RECLAIM Walk. Strengthen. Learn. Nourish. A women-only experience at Te Aratipi, designed around movement, strength, learning, nourishing food and time immersed in nature. Together we’ll walk the land, head into the native bush, move our bodies, build strength and learn more about what our bodies need as we move through midlife. We’ll slow down too — coming together for a beautiful seasonal lunch by Chef Katie Bachman at The Bush Table, our soon-to-launch forest & fire dining experience tucked away amongst the trees. Created in collaboration with Janine Couchman of The Resistance and Tess Williams of Willaeo, RECLAIM brings together strength, nutrition, mindset and behaviour change in a practical, empowering and very real way. Fresh air. Movement. Strength. Knowledge. Nourishing food. Connection. A day to step away from the everyday, invest some time back into yourself and leave feeling stronger, more capable and more confident in your body. Sunday 11 October 2026 Te Aratipi Station, Hawke’s Bay Limited places Tickets open Tuesday 1 September. A limited number of Early Bird tickets will be available. #TheMEProject #RECLAIM #TeAratipi #WomensWellness #WomensStrength

💪 Strong girls become strong women. And the best time to start? Right now.

If you know a teenage girl who could benefit from feeling stronger, more confident and more capable in her own body, we’d love to welcome her to our 8 Week Teen Girls Strength Programme at The Resistance.

This isn’t about chasing a certain look or trying to “burn calories.” It’s about learning to lift safely, building real strength, understanding how her body works, and discovering just how capable she is.

✨ Suitable for beginners – no gym experience needed.
🏋️ Small group coaching in a supportive, female-only environment.
📅 Fridays, 6:30-7.15am | 31 July – 18 September
📍 The Resistance, 23 Napier Road, Havelock North
💰 $240 for the full 8-week programme.

We believe every teenage girl deserves to experience what it feels like to be strong. Not just physically, but mentally too. It’s a gift that lasts far beyond the gym. 💛
