When Deeyana Amosa launched a fitness programme she had just one person in mind: her 15-year-old daughter Roman.

Roman had lost her fitness and confidence to play sports, and Deeyana wanted to motivate her to turn that around.

It started with 5am runs, and soon Roman's netball teammates joined in. Now her programme, Fit-Teens, has 180 mostly Pasifika students attending, at two Auckland locations.

Roman was recently given the Wellbeing Award at the GirlBoss Awards.
