Former All Black, Eroni Clarke and his life-changing experiences on the TV series - Match Fit
Former All Black, Eroni Clarke has had life-changing experiences throughout season 1 and 2 of Match Fit. The TV show has been the catalyst to shift his mindset from health & nutrition not being a priority, to a realisation that general, day-to-day eating deserves a high performance mindset.

What does Eroni think would’ve happened if he didn’t do Match Fit?
What all 20 and 30 year olds who don’t have health problems (yet!) need to hear
One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“Match Fit was an amazing journey with brothers, having been athletes, now trying to ask themselves questions - what’s your new why? What is your new purpose to being healthy and well?”
“My energy has been really, really good. Before I started I was really struggling, my energy by mid/early afternoon was really going down, I was tired and falling asleep.”
“Food was my comfort. I love Island food, how do I maintain the things that I really enjoy about our Pacific food and culture?”
“I heard someone say, if you don’t take care of your health now, your health is going to take care of you. That was another wake up moment for me.”
“Regardless of whether you are 40, 50, 30 or 20, there is no better place than where you are now to start looking after your health. I think that is a really key thing to understand, especially when you are young.”
