Remarkables Park Town Centre (RPTC) has a new initiative to support local men with the launch of its Men’s Performance Series this winter. Manager Nick Lambert says the series is about giving men the tools and encouragement to perform at their best without chasing impossible standards.

“This winter we want to help men be at their best because the world doesn’t need perfection but it does need us,” he says. “So we’re inviting men to bring a mate and spend a lunchtime investing in their imperfect best, showing up for themselves and those around them.”

Leading the series is Men’s Health and Wellbeing coach Samantha McBride (B.Sc Human Physiology Hons), a health coach (HANZA) professional coach and co-founder of the respected Men’s Muster event. McBride will provide practical tools to help men perform at their best as mates, partners, fathers  and leaders.

Each event will feature a high-performing New Zealand guest speaker who will share their personal stories of resilience and lessons learned.

The series opens with international rally driver Hayden Paddon, a multiple New Zealand Rally Champion and PWRC World Champion, who was the first non-European to win the European Rally Championship in 2023.

 “The Men’s Performance Series promises real conversations, practical support and an inspiring reminder that being your imperfect best is more than enough,” says Nick. “The first event is being held at the centre on Thursday June 26 and is sponsored by Unichem Remarkables Pharmacy. A limited number of tickets will be available and those signed up to the Remarkables Park Town Centre mailing list will receive first access to tickets before they are released to the public along with early announcements of upcoming guest speakers.”
