Wellness news: Nike needs you for five hours of power

I know it is WAY too hot at the moment to even think about exercising, but this weather is all about the layers dropping off so you have to keep your workout game on point. Nike are always there to lend a hand with their killer Nike+ Training Club app (if you don’t have it then get it now – it’s free so no excuse!) and always have cool events on the horizon to train towards.

The latest will be taking place in Auckland where the mega brand is set to “bring the heat to the streets” with an epic workout experience like no other for 500 Auckland women. New Zealand’s first Nike+ Training Club (NTC) LIVE event will be hitting Auckland’s Next Gen Dome in full force on Saturday 19 March with an international Global Nike Master Trainer to be revealed, leading the session.

Uniting women across the Tasman for the first time, the full day workout session will be broadcast LIVE from Sydney across to Auckland and Melbourne, marking Nike’s largest move in women’s training. 500 happy, healthy women will push their limits and workout in solidarity across a series of workouts including pilates, running and high-intensity. Sound hard? Well that’s part of the deal when you want to see results, but they are making things more manageable by launching

a fully immersive, 6 week training program from now until 19 March, led by Global Nike Master Trainer Kirsty Godso, Nike NZ Head Coach Lydia O’Donnell and other leading NTC trainers.

Each Saturday session unfolds in various iconic Auckland locations. Guests can check www.nike.com every week as the pop up locations are revealed and registering to secure a spot is essential.

This year Nike encourages women to recruit their training squads, and together push their limits to stay on track during the intense training program, leading up to March. Participants are encouraged to share their journey with the hashtag #ntcsquadgoals to help stay motivated and chart their progress.

During those essential moments of rest at NTC LIVE, women participating will have access to premium Nike services and products, including lounge areas, beauty and massage stations and the opportunity to view current Nike collections. In other words, unmissable stuff. JUST DO IT, okay?

Registrations are open now at www.ntctour.co.nz for Auckland’s first NTC LIVE session and spots are limited.
