Fit Teens - an Origin Story

The Fit Teens concept was borne out of a mother's love. Post-COVID, Auckland Mum, Deeyana Amosa saw the loss of confidence and fitness the pandemic had created in her teenage daughters Romon & Kaide. She looked around for a fitness programme specifically for teenagers but found nothing.

Having a previous two-decade career in Fitness Training herself, Deeyana designed a programme herself for her teenagers. Getting them up early for fitness runs and training sessions - the programme achieved results and soon Roman's friends in her netball team were wanting to join.

Noticing a lack of accessible and engaging fitness programs tailored to their specific needs. This was a generation that was often overlooked, their energy untapped, and their potential unrealised.

Driven by a passion for health and wellness, Roman has envisioned a space where young people could not only get fit but also build confidence, make friends, and learn valuable life skills. Supported by her mother, in 2023 she founded Fit Teens, a program designed to empower teenagers like herself through fitness.

Key aspects of the Fit Teens Programme are:

• Overseen by a qualified trainer.

• Delivered by Teens, for Teens.

• In a safe, private gym area, away from adult gym goers.

• Supervised, age-appropriate weight use.

• Teen camaraderie.

• $10 per session.

Set in a private area of a local gym, with fitness routines developed for teens by her mother, Roman is creating a community of enthusiastic teenagers. Fit Teens is a comprehensive wellness program, incorporating not just physical fitness but also mental health and nutrition education. Our mission is to help young people develop the tools they need to thrive.

Fit Teens is shaping a healthier, happier, and more confident generation and if you or your teen want to join us, register for our next programme.
