Each school benefits from two sessions per week, one being a ZUU session, which is a body weight workout based on animal movements.
A typical ZUU session may include movements named bear crawls, frogs, gorillas or donkeys.
The other session is harness resistance training known as ANKORR where students wear a multi-directional harness.
"It's been dynamic and we only do it for 45 minutes but I think that's why they keep coming back," says Te Ara Hou teacher Kotuku Tomoana.
"There really is something for everybody because we don't need fantastic equipment, only when we use the ANKORR harness."
"It's a win win. It's almost entirely immersed in te reo and the kids benefit as they not only learn a new way of exercising but they also learn te reo as well because they have to learn new words too."
The programme comes under the Moving the Māori Nation kaupapa and is designed to be high intensity but low impact.
"It's the culture that gets everyone through the workout," says Mr Treacher.
"We use the phrase - it doesn't matter how fast, fit or strong you are, slow is better than no go.
"I think it's really important that we're able to deliver this kaupapa in Māori because health is more than just physical.
"It's mental, it's spiritual, and to be able to start and finish each session with a karakia and to be able to utilise te reo Māori to deliver the message helps cover more than just the physical aspect of it.
"The workouts are designed to be challenging and help breed resilience in the students while still harnessing a culture of support no matter how hard it gets - me mate upoko pakaru - never give up.
"Which in turn encourages team work amongst the students to support, to push, to achieve and to lead."
There is also a nutritional component where a registered dietitian helps educate the students and their entire whānau on healthy food choices.
"It comes across as cheaper and easier to buy the processed food but our whānau don't always know what other options are out there.
"So this will hopefully impact our whānau choices when shopping and let them know that there are other options that are just as cheap but are a whole lot healthier.
"Because you can work out all you want, but if you're still eating crap food your body is not going to perform at its best. It's all about education."
