Competition training in Auckland

“I have been going to Coast Academy for around 7 years now and it’s been great. Coast Academy is one big family. The coaches here take time with each student to make sure they know exactly what they are doing. The atmosphere here at this gym is so great as well, everyone is so kind, caring, supportive and helpful. The people who are part of this gym are so respectful and kind and willing to help if needed. I am proud to call Coast Academy second home.”

“These guys did an incredible job at our Cancer Society fundraising event. Would recommend them to anyone. SO much fun, our participants loved it!”

“Professional and friendly classes to do tricking and parkour style gymnastics. My son is improving so much physically & mentally and made lots of good quality friends. Highly recommend”

“This place is awesome! Took four teenagers to a Sunday Battlestrike session for the first time. Dion was amazing, kitting the boys out and running the games. Having the new rental guns were cool. The participants, many of them with serious kit, were super friendly and accommodating, helping the teens on and off the playing fields. Highly recommend, will be back.”

“Such an awesome place to enjoy swimming. Went there as a parent helper for school swimming lesson. A 90min free parking available.”

“I love this place and we pretty much play every wednesday. Cricket, Soccer, Basket ball. Drinks also available 4 places in total. Very economical and staff is friendly.”

“It was a 5 star performance. The cast performed Young Frankenstein.”

“If you are considering doing Ballet as an adult, this is honestly the place to do it! They have so many different options for classes and I was so happy to find a studio that has the option of structured syllabus-style learning. The teachers are wonderful and make sure they know their students well so they can help progress them in a way that is unique to each individual. The community is very friendly and welcoming too. One of my favourite parts about dancing here is the annual show! We actually get to perform on a stage in a theatre with costumes and everything! It's optional of course, and we spend months preparing. Any one from any level is able to participate in it and it's an incredible journey to be apart of, and it's a time when the whole community is able to get together and support each other as it's no easy task, but one that is very rewarding in my opinion. All in all, I often find myself counting down the days until my next class. Cannot recommend DFLA enough!”

“I started learning BJJ at this gym when it first opened. From day one, I always felt welcome and safe. The culture fostered at this gym is one of mutual respect. Everyone has space to learn at their own pace in a fun and friendly environment. Renato is fully invested in his students' progress; he tries different approaches to teaching to make it a positive experience for everyone. Each class is a fun game!”

“2024 will be our 5th year with RGD. Kind and professional teachers, welcoming atmosphere, lots of fun and great dance choreography. The end of the year show is always spectacular.”

“10/10 ;)! Absolutely love everything about the McCallion-Hester dance academy, having danced since i was very little, Irish dancing was one huge thing i missed when moving overseas,I recently moved from Australia to New Zealand where i lived for many years and never really found an adult Irish dance classes that had the expertise and professionalism that these guys have here in Auckland!! The standard is incredible and the opportunities are endless, from beginners through to advanced and everything in-between they have it all covered! I would highly recommend giving it ago, whether it be for fun, fitness, to meet new people or as a previous dancer wanting to get back into it, this is definitely the place to go!!! Maire and Sean are so welcoming, enthusiastic and have the patients of a saint!! Amazing job guys, so glad i found you in Auckland!!!!!”

“Love love love Mainly Dance classes - have been doing barre for a number of years and the recent addition of reformer Pilates has been fantastic. It adds an extra layer to the week’s workouts. Kelly and her team strive never to have the same class twice and the energy that Kelly gives to each class is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend.”

“My daughter has been attending this dance school for over 12 plus years catering from preschool up , they have a wide range of dance class options and all the teachers are kind , passionate and not intimidating to anyone just starting out . The studio is very central in west auckland with clean and tidy facilities and great carparking. Would highly recommend .”

“More than a dance school, it’s a dance family. My girls absolutely love dancing here, would highly recommend to both boys and girls.”

“Beautiful dance studio. Professional and kind instructors.”

“Nice, friendly dance school, my daughter loves it!”

“Excellent dance teaching a variety of styles. Great studio for boys wanting to learn.”

“my friends told me to do this becuz they are talented swimmers in this club”

“They are community and hard courts. Good quality. Many car parks. Don’t hit the ball over the fence, unless you might not find it.”

“My girls have been dancing in this studio for the last 7 years. Teachers are very professional and very caring. My gils love yo engage with all the classes and activities. It is such a pleasure to be part of the school.”

“What a lovely riding school. The instructor is very insightful and knowledgeable. I took my own horse for my lessons and learnt so much in my time with Rebekah.”

“Great little hidden store with lots very good value products - much cheaper than Super Cheap Autos, Repco etc. Great service. Recommended.”

“My two kids started swimming at Swimsation Te Atatu Peninsula in April 2024. They had very limited skills when they started (way below their school age level). With the support of the great teachers they learnt so much in just a few months that now they are swimming beyond their school age level. The staff is kind and accomodating, we managed to catch up with our make up classes every time we had one missed class. Thank you! Keep up the good work, you guys are great!”

“We used North shore dance center back in 2019 to learn our wedding dance. Angela Gainford was our instructor and we couldn't be happier with how she taught us. The dance was basic but added in a few easy steps that made the whole lesson enjoyable and make the dance look like we are professionals (even though we had 2 left feet). Was an amazing experience and can recommend this place to anyone wanting to learn.”

“Our daughter has started going to their horses riding class early this year and she absolutely loved it, she look forward to the classes every weekend. The staff and coaches there are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The horses are very well trained and very well maintained. Would 100% recommend this place to friends and family that wants to learn horse riding.”

“Such an amazing learn to swim program. Our two daughters are part of the learn to swim and have a wonderful time learning and growing in the water with there two teachers Laura and Kristina. Anya does an amazing job setting up the learn to swim program and leading it I couldn’t recommend enough. The Indoor Pool Facility runs at a perfect air conditioned temperature and the pools are clean and comfortable for everyone! As a Swim Coach myself the team here does an incredible job! Lifeguards included as well!”
