Our Fit3D Body Scans are now $20 per scan. Use this link to book your scan https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=26575214 (Instagram link in bio)

This is the first price increase we’ve made — and it wasn’t an easy decision. As a charitable trust serving our Tairāwhiti community, we’ve had to adjust the price slightly to help sustain our programmes and continue supporting whānau to live healthy longer.

But here’s the good news 👇

🔥 COMMITMENT PACKAGE: 4 + 1 FREE 🔥
Purchase a 4-scan package and receive your 5th scan FREE.

That means:
✔ Track your progress properly
✔ Stay accountable
✔ See real body composition changes over time
✔ Save money while investing in your health

Fit3D isn’t just about weight — it gives you detailed insights into:
• Body fat percentage
• Muscle mass
• Visceral fat
• Posture & balance
• Circumference measurements
• Progress comparisons over time

If you’re serious about improving your health in 2026, this is one of the most powerful tools to keep you motivated and informed.

Every scan you book directly supports the sustainability of Huringa Pai Charitable Trust and helps us continue empowering whānau across our community. 💚

📲 Single scans and packages are available now via our online booking site.

🌿 Whānau Fitness Update 🌿

Kia ora whānau, we wanted to share a quick update regarding our Whānau Fitness sessions at Ilminster School gym.

We are currently working closely with Ilminster School to confirm the days and times for our sessions. There are six community groups supported by the school who share access to the gym, and all groups are working together to finalise a schedule that works for everyone.

As soon as the arrangements are confirmed, we will post the exact days and times on this page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and our sincere apologies for the lateness of this update. We truly appreciate the way our community continues to support one another 🙏

We’re looking forward to getting back together and moving as whānau again 💪💚
