Empowering Māori and Pasifika to achieve lasting health goals
Buttabean Motivation (BBM) has been supporting communities across New Zealand since 2014, helping people improve their health, fitness, and overall wellbeing.
Our team is made up of people with lived experience who understand what it takes to change your mindset and your life.
We operate gyms in Manukau, New Lynn, and Tokoroa, offering weekly classes including From The Couch, our flagship 12-week healthy lifestyle program, Boxing, HIIT, CrossFit, Yoga, as well as male and female-only classes, and sessions for children and teens.
In Auckland, we run the BBM Foodshare, providing food support to individuals and families in need with the help of generous community donations.
We also operate a community kitchen in South Auckland that supports our nutrition programmes.
“What we do at BBM works because we’ve walked this path ourselves. Every journey starts with the first step. Just start. You won’t regret it.” – Dave Letele
