Meet Us, The Hive

BUILT FOR PEOPLE

The Hive was formed out of a vision of creating a leading Strength & Conditioning facility built of an inclusive community, in the pursuit of improved health and mindfulness through structured, quality coaching.

Our program is inspired by effective training methods including Weightlifting, Gymnastics, and High-Intensity Interval Training delivered with purpose. Having trained and worked in a number of gym environments, including CrossFit, we have seen the success of these methods but also strive to forge an environment where an individual has the opportunity to take the time to focus on, and develop the skills, strength, and fitness to improve their quality of life.

For us, this is defined as People | Patience | Purpose. Welcome to The Hive

NICK ASHCROFT – OWNER

My career in the fitness industry has developed from my passion for helping people. Encouraged by my own personal results since starting CrossFit in 2012, I decided to refocus my career into something that would help people experience the positive changes in the body and mind that I had found. Since then, I had an amazing opportunity to co-own the CrossFit gym that started it all for me allowing me to refine my skills as a Coach and Personal Trainer.

Relocating home to Hawkes Bay in 2018 saw the creation of The Hive. The name represents a very personal connection for me and the values of kindness and respect. It also speaks to a broader ideology of a space where, together, with a common goal, under guidance and support, we each work with our own focus to achieve success for ourselves and in turn our community.

Seeing clients set themselves a new challenge and being able to guide them, offer support and see them find support from within our community makes every day an exciting and rewarding one.

As a CrossFit Kids Coach I love that I get to be a part of setting up our future generation with tools to succeed wherever their lives take them; building confidence in themselves, teaching them skills through movement, and making exercise fun and rewarding.

The Hive is much more than just the ‘workout’. It’s about setting you up to succeed; mentally and physically so you are ready for life’s next challenge. It is fun, engaging and rewarding, but for me, it’s the level of genuine care at The Hive that really makes the difference.
