At Blue Light Dargaville youth hub in New Zealand, their gym-space has become a key part of their youth development programmes. With over 40 rangatahi, the training sessions are now a daily activity that supports both physical and mental wellbeing.

Outfitted with durable and space-efficient equipment from Gymleco, the compact and functional gym setup creates an environment where youth feel welcome, motivated, and supported – giving them tools for a more positive and active future.

“We’ve seen some remarkable turnarounds in our young people. They are becoming more involved in the community, behaving better, and showing increased motivation and responsibility. “The gym equipment then becomes a tool for the broader objective of ensuring youth have positive lifestyle choices and techniques to prevent them from becoming offenders or victims of crime." - Reuben Cohen.
