Our 3rd Birthday – Raising funds for Breast Cancer Trials 2025

Our community has done it again! Following on from 2024’s amazing fundraising effort,

both the Manisha Fitness and Hamilton communities have come together again to raise over

$1900 for Breast Cancer Trials.

Breast Cancer Trials, a charity close to our hearts, is one of the world’s leading breast cancer research organisations, dedicated to finding new and better treatments and prevention strategies for people affected by this disease. Thank

you, Meg (Our resident 6am’er), for helping us bring this together!

Celebrating our 3rd Birthday since opening in 2022, Manisha Fitness members contributed

to our fundraising effort by making generous donations to enter into our annual fitness

competition.

PROUD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

We couldn’t be prouder of the incredible community. In a space usually defined by

stretching boundaries and all-inclusive strength training & conditioning, our people stepped boldly out of their comfort zones to compete, challenge, and uplift one another.

Here's a summary of the standout performances across five exciting events:

EVENT 1 - BIKE

In pairs with 1 bike per team, entrants cycled as far as possible in 5 minutes. After Meg

nearly caused a major crash adjusting Will’s seat mid-flight, they came powering through

showcasing their athleticism achieving 3,660 metres in the allotted time to finish top of the

podium – Great Start.

1. Meg & Will – 3,660 Metres

2. Michelle & Sam – 3,550 Metres

3. Savvy & Kins – 3,450 Metres.

EVENT 2 - WALL SIT

For twelve intense minutes, Savvy and Kins held firm, minds staying focused. In silence and

solidarity, they leant into the post bike sprint burn—legs trembling, hearts steady, breath

controlled. This wasn’t just a physical challenge; it was a mental one. A test of grit,

resilience, and the quiet power of staying still under pressure.

1. Savvy & Kins – 12 Mins

2. Renae & Amina – 8 Mins

3. Meg & Renae – 4 Mins 25 Secs.

EVENT 3 - SKI

After an unexpected challenge in the wall sit showdown, Meg and Will didn’t just recover,

they roared back. Riding the momentum of an incredible bike performance, they reasserted

their early dominance, powering through an astonishing 1644 metres in the allotted 5

minutes. Their effort edged out the dangerous Kins and Savvy by a slim 44 metres, and held

off the very impressive Jess and Dan by 47 metres. Dan: Down, but never out took a well-

earned moment to recover stepping straight into the squat and press event along with the

other teams.

1. Meg & Will – 1,644 Metres

2. Savvy & Kins – 1,600 Metres

3. Jess & Dan – 1,597 Metres.

EVENT 4 - SQUAT & PRESS

They may have taken their time to warm up, but once the barbell came out, Team Renae/

Amina came alive. Kids all entertained and playing nicely in the kids area, well done H, they

made the event count—lifting a combined total of 3,180kg in 5 minutes. Meg and Will

finished in a close 2nd – Will possibly regretting leaving it too close to the start time to eat his pre-competition pancakes.

1. Renae & Amina – 3,180KG’s lifted

2. Meg & Will – 3,125KG’s lifted

3. Savvy & Kins – 3,075KG’s lifted.

EVENT 5 - BURPEES

Passing the torch, one burpee at a time. In a moment that blended grit with grace, the

burpees event saw a changing of the guard. It was time for new champions to rise—and rise

they did. With unwavering energy and fierce determination, Savvy & Kins powered through to claim the burpees crown.

1. Savvy & Kins – 70 Reps

2. Renae & Amina – 60 Reps

3. Michelle & Sam – 56 Reps.

THE FINAL PODIUM

When adding each teams event positions together resulting in a total score, Sav & Kins led the pack with a near-flawless showing, earning the top spot with a total score of just 10. Hot

on their heels, Meg & Will showcased power and consistency to secure second place

with 16, while Renae & Amina surged late in the event to claim third with 17.

An awesome event, so much fun and too many great moments to mention in the write up.
