RTB Fitness Club: It’s never too late to start your fitness journey
Round the Bays 2023, New Zealand’s biggest fun ride, is set to take place on Sunday, March 5, and to get you ready things Launch RTB Fitness Club. It’s an 8-week training program designed to get you fit and motivated to play sports with a like-minded community, whether you tackle the action in person in Auckland or virtually. Each week, we’ll bring you stories to inspire and educate you along your fitness journey. Join the RTB Fitness Club here.
RTB Fitness Club may have been seeing members on a fitness journey for a month now, but trainer Bevan James Isles says it’s never too late to join in and start hitting goals.
While the program is designed to get Aotearoa fit to match in time to run The Round the Bays tour in Auckland in March, that exact date doesn’t have to mark the end of anyone’s journey, says Eyles.
And for those who sign up now, while you won’t complete the full program in time for a fun run, you can easily take part and incorporate it as one of your scheduled training days.
And no matter when the program begins, the program’s benefits will extend beyond race day in March, he says.

For those already on the program, participants actually see the benefits in the first four weeks.
The video components of the programme, a member of the club’s Facebook community said, “really support your mentality until you get back in shape,” while another said it was great to know she’s on her way to being healthier before January is over.
A program can yield a wide range of benefits, “regardless of when you start,” says Ailes.
“The program will always work.”
In addition to the full 8-week program, Eyles offers weekly Q&A video sessions, and a private Facebook group has an active community of members supporting and encouraging each other through their own journey.
“There were some really great comments on the Facebook page,” he says.
“When you feel part of a community, you feel accountable, but you also feel like you’re adding value,” he says.

Christchurch running coach and former elite athlete Bevan James Ellis is the RTB Fitness Club Instructor.
Members not only support each other’s successes, Ailes says, but discuss their struggles, which helps keep everyone on the right track.
“These people have never met each other, but they are all really supportive of each other… Shared experiences are really important things in life.”
“You’ll get fitter and healthier, but it’s actually a reality show where you can lay the foundations [of a healthier lifestyle]. “

With the full program, plus community support, Bevan James Isles says RTB Fitness Club can help you reach your goals “no matter when you start.”
And in the end, no matter when they started, the program is designed to enable people to form long-term habits.
And this, he says, has no final date.
“You will learn to believe in yourself. You will learn that you can handle the difficult moments in life.
“Eventually we feel better about ourselves when we make better choices.”
