Reigniting the spark in fitness

50 years of combined industry expertise, one vision: to reignite the spark in fitness and craft New Zealand’s most inspiring fitness experiences.

That vision first came to life as Revl, our flagship gym in Porirua. Revl became the proving ground - where we built, tested, and refined the workouts, systems, and member experiences that now power Arma.

Today, Arma takes that proven model and makes it available to ambitious gyms everywhere - complete with cutting-edge programs, a modern business system, and the training support to scale it with confidence.

Karin Pennington

Karin has spent more than 20 years building, managing and training staff in successful fitness businesses. With a background spanning club ownership, regional management, sales leadership and group training, she understands first-hand the challenges operators face when trying to deliver premium experiences at scale.

That experience is what inspired Arma: a system designed to make it easy for gyms to deliver repeatable, high-quality workouts that members love. Karin’s focus is simple - to help ambitious operators grow faster, run smoother, and unlock the full potential of their spaces through group training.
