BIG NEWS, TEAM ❤️
After 12+ years of burpees, barbells, fist bumps, early mornings, late nights, and somehow surviving lockdowns without turning the boxes into firewood… it’s time for a new chapter at Kia Ora S&C!
To every current member, past member, drop-in visitor, supplier, supporter, volunteer, competitor, athlete, fellow gym owner, and every single person who helped build the CrossFit community here in Taupō — THANK YOU. For real. It's been a ride!
From workouts in driveways and parks to the community we have today, we’ve had an absolute ball riding the rollercoaster with you all. The friendships, memories, events, laughs, challenges, and support over the years have meant more than we could put into words.
Now it’s time to hand over the reins!
We’re excited to announce that Ethan & Stephanie Chabora are officially taking over Kia Ora S&C! As many of you already know, they’re already respected members of our community and we couldn’t think of better people to lead the gym into its next era.
We’re pumped to support them as they take Kia Ora S&C to another level.
Thank you again to everyone who has been part of this journey. Taupō has an amazing fitness community and we’re proud to have played a little part in it.
The best is still to come ❤️
Skay & Sophia
