Today we’re heading across the ditch to North Brisbane, where Māori whānau have built more than just a gym,  they’ve built a village. Led by Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Kahungunu gym owner Steve Bell, this space has become a cultural home-base for Māori in the region. It’s where members train hard, speak te reo, learn waiata and haka on the weekends, and keep their kids , Aussie-born and NZ-born  connected to who they are. Many of them also play for the North Brisbane Māori rugby league team.
