What is One Element?
One Element, originally born in the United Kingdom, has been connecting and training people for 15 years, after founder and personal trainer Tom Marien realised that it wasn’t just those in sports teams that could benefit from pre-season fitness.
At his rugby club, players would bring along their family and friends to the fitness sessions, connecting a wider group and maintaining the culture of teamwork.
From there, OE was born and years later is a thriving social fitness community, which not only trains together but enjoys coffee catch-ups and community events.
One Element now has nine franchises in the UK, with the first international franchise launched in New Zealand.
At OENZ we believe in the power of the team. Turning up to our sessions you can expect to find an inclusive group of like-minded people, greeting you with a smile and calling your name as you push your limits.
You can trust in the 15 years of proven, structured training plans to take you to your desired fitness level.

A Word from Liv
The best gift I was given was a love for exercise. I love the feeling of my body moving optimally, and I want others to feel this way too! Exercise is not just a means to an end; it is medicinal, healing, empowering, and, in some cases, life-saving.
Many of life's tough stages are easier when you are fitter.
Intense work schedules and to-do lists are less overwhelming, pregnancies and postpartum journeys are less debilitating, parenting energetic children, work travel…you name it.
Sometimes you just need an outlet, and physical strength and resilience make all parts of life a lot easier to deal with
Just as someone else might tell you to start your financial planning early to benefit from the compounding effects later, so too will exercise ensure you have a better quality of life later. The old adage goes "you don't use it, you lose it," and it is true.
I truly believe the best thing you can do for yourself is put your fitness as high up on the priority list as you can. They tell you to put your own life jacket on first for a reason.
One Element is special because it combines well-being factors like social connection, and nature as a de-stressor with high-quality fitness training.
