New COMBAT fitness class
Combat class is a workout that blends combat-inspired moves with dance and cardio, all set to loud, feel-good music 🎶💥
Here’s what it’s like:
Workout style: A mix of boxing, kickboxing, martial-arts strikes, and athletic footwork, combined with rhythmic dance-style movements.
Intensity: At your own pace & sweaty. You’ll throw punches, kicks, knees, and combos while constantly moving—great for cardio and calorie burn.
Equipment: Usually no contact and minimal equipment. Some classes use light gloves or glow sticks, but it’s mostly bodyweight.
Skill level: Beginner-friendly. Moves are simple and repeatable, so you can follow along even if you’ve never done combat training.
Benefits: Improves fitness, coordination, strength, stamina, and stress relief—plus it’s a massive mood boost.
Vibe: Empowering, fun, and a little fierce. You feel like you’re dancing and fighting at the same time.

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
