Way of Life Fitness owner Troy

Mahupuku had his head shaved yesterday evening in support of a gymn member who is fighting cancer.

The main aim of the shave was to raise awareness of a fund-raiser Way of Life Fitness is running.

Claire Candy has been diagnosed with cancer and her treatment is not funded in New Zealand.

To help pay for the treatment, Way of Life Fitness has organised to raffle a Carol smart bike, valued at $5,199.

Single $20 tickets are available at https://wayoflifefitness.gymmasteronline.com/.../shop/547395 and three tickets for $40 are available at https://wayoflifefitness.gymmasteronline.com/.../shop/547396.

These bikes come with Carol’s scientifically proven training regime. The regime takes 8 minutes and 40 seconds three times a week, and is the equivalent of a 45 minute jog five times a week.

The benefits of the Carol regime is that it leads to a 62% decrease in the risk of developing a metabolic disease, a 78% increase in cardiovascular fitness, a 71% decrease in HDL cholesterol, a 78% decrease in triglycerides, a 196% improvement in blood pressure and a 48% improvement in blood sugar. the action from prime courtside seats, are now open.
