With an enthusiasm for all things sport and a love for rugby league, Dre French was keen to join the CareerFIT health & fitness course. And now just a few months in, Dre is making massive gains towards turning his life around. “I was mucking around a bit, and getting up to things I knew I shouldn’t be doing. I knew if I stayed on the path I was on; I’d be heading for jail. My fitness has improved heaps and I’m back playing league now” Dre explains. And with regular attendance and a positive and willing attitude, Dre has continued to make positive changes in his life. Dre is grateful to the tutors for their teaching style and the atmosphere they create in class. “They’re patient. They’ll sit with you and explain things properly. And they make it fun,” he says.

For Hawea, being part of the CareerFIT course has meant so much more to him than just getting his NCEA Level 2’s. Hawea’s whole outlook on life has changed for the better, and it’s having a flow-on affect with his family. Hawea has lost 16kgs since starting the course, and believes it’s all thanks to the physical training and theory he’s learning. “When I first started, I was so unfit. I could barely run & barely do push ups. Now, I can run and I love training. My fitness has improved heaps,” he explains. Even his family have noticed huge changes in him. “My whānau got worried at first, because I used to be a big eater. Now I eat small portions. I had to explain to them that what they’re eating is unhealthy. I know what’s in food now, and I know what unhealthy food does to my body,” Hawea says. His family are taking note of the positive changes he’s making and are now asking him for tips on food and training. “They’ve asked me to help train them,” he explains. Hawea looks to his tutors for motivation and support and believes that without their help, he wouldn’t have been able to get to where he is. “The tutors have helped me with my weight loss, fitness and the theory. They’re patient; they break it all down so I understand, he says.” CareerFIT is a 26-week course available in Tauranga and Rotorua.
