HAWKES BAY COMMUNITY FITNESS CENTRE TRUST

SPORTS PERFORMING 
The Hawkes Bay Community Fitness Centre Trust owns and operates a world-class indoor training facility and performance gym, focusing on developing youth athletes to improve their levels of performance.  From developing healthy lifestyle habits in schoolchildren to strength and balance training in older adults. 

Underpinned by the latest research, their programmes are tailored to the needs of our community.  Located at the Mitre 10 Park, they operate the EIT Institute of Sport & Health.  A multi-purpose facility that enables the delivery of our health programmes and a centre for everyone in the community to exercise.

They support athletes across the 4 pillars of development (Strength & Conditioning, Mental Skills, Nutrition and Leadership) depending on their training age and experience.  They help to prepare athletes for regional, national or international representation and all programmes are aligned to High-Performance Sport NZ philosophies.
