Bendy Buddha - Hyrox Coaching, Acupuncture & Mental Health

07/02/2026

Some days I feel strong.
Some days I feel old, sore, and like I’m pretending I belong here.

HYROX isn’t just a physical race for me, it’s a mental one.
Imposter syndrome. Self-doubt. The quiet voice that asks “who do you think you are?”

This race was actually fun.
Racing with felt awesome.
The podium? A genuine surprise 😳 and yes, I’m proud of us.

But I want to say this out loud:
Doing well doesn’t magically silence the inner battle.
Outside results don’t always match the internal dialogue.

If you’re showing up while doubting yourself…
If you’re aging, aching, questioning….and still trying…
you’re not behind. You’re human.

This is what it really looks like for me.

Just dropped into The Yard Gym in Newtown and trained with coach/owner Igor- absolute legend. 🔥
He welcomed the travelling Kiwis in with open arms… and then promptly put us to the test! 😅💪
Such an epic vibe. Will definitely be back! 🇳🇿✨

A little moment of pride 🤗

Last week I had the privilege of co-presenting with Lindsey Pine, on behalf of the Chinese Medicine Council of NZ, at the Oceania TCM Forum. We spoke about how normalising complaints strengthens our profession and safeguards the people we care for.

It’s one of the hats I wear - alongside mental health work and Hyrox coaching-that reminds me why I do what I do: helping people feel stronger, safer, and supported in every part of their health journey.

What to expect from a PT session with Fletch: structured training, clear guidance, and results-driven workouts.

I’ve lived with depression and anxiety for most of my life. It’s a big part of why I’ve dedicated myself to supporting others with their mental health—for two decades now.

But the truth is, there are still days where I wake up feeling heavy with sadness or anxiety, wondering how I’ll face the day. Sometimes it’s meant showing up for others while quietly holding back tears, or pushing through a panic attack no one could see.

Over the years, I’ve learnt that there are tools that make a real difference: movement, good sleep, friendship, mindfulness, professional support. They don’t make the struggles vanish, but they help me keep moving forward, step by step.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, please remember: you never know what’s happening behind someone’s smile or story. The best thing we can do is practice kindness—to each other, and to ourselves. 💛
