Active whānau, vibrant marae
For Whānau
MaraeFit is all about getting active with your whānau and connecting with your marae. Every time you take part in an activity on the MaraeFit app you can koha points to your chosen marae. The marae with the most points at the end of the series is acknowledged and recognised.
For Event Organisers
MaraeFit can simplify the organisation and communication about your upcoming activities and events. Make your activity more efficient so you can focus on what really matters. Help get whānau active and reconnect to marae with MaraeFit.
Discover opportunities to be active as Māori and reconnect to marae with the MaraeFit app for your Android or iPhone.MaraeFit will initially be rolled out across existing activities delivered by He Oranga Poutama providers.
In the future other providers will be able to work with the He Oranga Poutama providers in their regions to add activities to MaraeFit. We will then increase promotional activities in each region as more activities become available through the app.

Introducing MaraeFit
A Sport NZ Ihi Aotearoa mobile app, MaraeFit encourages Māori to discover opportunities to be active as Māori, reconnect to Marae and improve overall wellbeing.
It builds on the success of He Oranga Poutama – a longstanding Sport NZ programme focussed on Māori wellbeing. He Oranga Poutama links Māori to activities that are designed by, for, with and as Māori, and this approach forms the basis of MaraeFit.
Getting active with MaraeFit is easy. Download the app on the Apple Store or Google Play Store, browse through the activities in your region, schedule your favourites and scan the QR code when you register.
