For whānau 

Living away from your marae can feel like it’s harder to connect and give back, but it’s actually easier than you think. Connecting to your marae can be done anywhere.  

MaraeFit supports Māori being active as Māori, on marae or significant environments that are special to Māori, and where Te Reo Māori, tikanga Māori, Māori history and whakapapa is honoured. 

Bring the whole whānau together to be active in your own backyard with MaraeFit.
