FAQ | PB Festival 2026

What is PB Festival?

PB Festival is New Zealand's fitness and wellness festival built for everyday New Zealanders. The ones who show up on a Tuesday morning and count that as a win, the ones chasing their next goal, and everyone in between. Two days of movement, community, and the brands that back people like you. 14 and 15 November 2026, Claudelands Events Centre, Hamilton.

What if I'm not very fit or don't really exercise?

This festival is built for you. PB stands for Personal Best. Your best, measured against nobody but you. Whether that's running a marathon or taking the stairs instead of the lift, it all counts here. You don't need to be fit to come. You just need to show up.

Is it going to be intimidating?

No. That's the whole point of PB Festival. This is not a competition. There are no judges, no rankings, no pressure. You can try a Les Mills class, browse 60+ brands, grab food, and have a great day out. Come as you are.
