“Whether you’re here to sample and to learn, or to watch the country’s top athletes tough it out in their chosen discipline, this is a not-to-be-missed event,” says Ridler.

The NZ Fitness Expo has a non-stop schedule of action happening across both days of the show, featuring the very best in CrossFit, Arm Wrestling, Kettlebell Sport, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting and Strongman, the hugely popular NZ Fitness Model Search and much more.
