Exercise gym in Auckland

“Fantastic sporting facilities provided by AUT. We recently attened the 20th Anniversary of Se Jong Taekwondo there. The facilities totally exceed my expectations.”

“After not finding much success at other gym’s in the area I happened to stumble across NZ Iron Strength. The equipment is high quality and great variety. The staff and insanely friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend NZ Iron Strength to anyone in the area looking to train!”

“Solid Strength equipment is robust enough to handle the punishment of a gym, but doesnt carry the expensive price tag. A great place to start when fitting out your gym or home gym. Staff are very helpful.”

“This is the best boxing gym, it's a shame it's closing”

“So many good things to say... Jai is a fun, friendly and safe training environment that is perfect for beginners or the less 'athletically talented'. However the competitive aspect is also there for those who are seeking that. I have made several lifelong friends from Jai. They have always had a few carefully selected trainers brought over from Thailand for the specialised skillset they bring, and they are supported by experienced local trainers. I also know for a fact the owner is awesome.”

“I'm half way through a bootcamp at priority fitness and I can honestly say it's one of the best experiences I've ever had with a gym membership. My clothes are fitting better and I have more energy but more importantly, I look forward to my workouts and it has been a great reliever for my migraine and anxiety symptoms. I sleep better, I eat better and I genuinely feel like I will keep going even after 8 weeks. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and no work out is ever the same. I still have a long way to go but I know if I keep going with priority fitness, I will get there.”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Lots to keep the kids busy and occupied.”

“Best coach and best gym highly recommend coming here and really cheap reasonable price”

“Nice little work outs not to much jst enough to get the blood stream flowing”

“Sheryl and the Gym Mats team are nothing less than exceptional. They went out of their way to make sure the final product and our branding was exactly what we wanted for our boxing bags, even over the busy Christmas season. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Gym Mats NZ and appreciate their flexibility in making a product that fit our needs exactly. Love that we don't have to import from overseas and have an amazing quality product and service right on our shores. Thanks Gym Mats NZ.”

“Staff are so accommodating. School holiday programme is a favourite in our household.”

“Excellent venue well set up with very friendly staff. I've used them for school holiday programs twice now and my daughter really loves attending.”

“Have been training in this krav maga club for 6 years now! Very useful and practical, realistic and highly applicable form of martial arts and self-defense system. The teaching curriculum is also very structured, organized and logical. The good fitness training that comes along is an excellent bonus. The gym, staffs and classes have a fun and welcoming atmosphere.”

The Lyons Den is a hair salon offering cuts and styling and men's grooming. The team is known for a considerate approach.

“Great class for under 6. My son loves his twice a week training and the coach is amazing. They mix training and play which the kids love. My son used to get upset when he loses a game but after joining jiujitsu he now understands that’s it’s okay to make mistakes and lose in a game, he would say ‘just try again’ ‘I’ll practice more’. The attitude has changed and the discipline is apparent. Thank you, Albany team!”

“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 am a massive fan of Valka Yoga products. I purchased my mat about a year ago and it still looks like new. I absolutely LOVE it and I use it everyday. It has such a beautiful energy that I usually leave it out ready for tomorrow, instead of packing it away. It’s inspirational! Also, I highly recommend the copper drink bottles. After about a year of use my husband and I continue to use these everyday and we’re 100,000% satisfied with the quality. They’re truly forever bottles. I have the copper bracelet too, but it’s now a part of me, I forgot about it, so it’s not in the photo. I get a lot of comments because it’s so dainty compared the ugly copper bracelets you see at pharmacies. Finally, EVERYONE needs to buy a yoga belt. These days we spend so much time on devices… I’ve noticed that even teens are looking hunchbacked. I’m hyper flexible so don’t really use it in my yoga routine, but I couldn’t live without it as a posture brace. There are so many YouTube tutorials showing how to use a belt for posture correction/back pain and it’s also my to go to for shoulder stretches. I was always impressed with the personal service, quality of product, prices, and speedy fast delivery. ❤️ You Valka xx”

“I have been going to Studio 16 pilates for two years now. Great instructors with extensive knowledge in pilates. The instructors easily adapt exercises to suit individual needs. Awesome atmosphere and I always feel welcome and throughly enjoy the classes. My body shape has totally changed for the better. I am stronger and leaner than I ever was. Best pilates studio ever thanks to Danny and the team.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of facilitating a breathwork journey at Kanuka Yoga Space, and I can’t recommend it enough! The space itself is nothing short of beautiful — serene, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed to create the perfect environment for any wellness practice. What truly made my experience unforgettable, though, was the communication with Raquel and Stu. From start to finish, they were incredibly welcoming, organized, and professional. Their passion for creating a positive space for people to grow and connect is truly inspiring. Raquel and Stu's attention to detail and warm hospitality made the whole process seamless, and I felt completely supported every step of the way. I can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with, and that energy really shines through in everything they do. I thoroughly enjoyed leading the breathwork journey, and I’m confident anyone who has the opportunity to visit Kanuka Yoga Space will leave feeling uplifted and nourished. I look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you, Raquel and Stu, for such an incredible experience!”

“One of my favorite studios in NZ! Lots of height, plenty of parking, and cool community and vibes.”

“Josh has done a brilliant job helping my teenage son. He joined College Rifles Boxing about 5 months ago. During that time we have seen a huge improvement in his attitude, gained more confidence and has learned to control his aggression.”

“Kia ora. I have known Tanya and worked her since my inception into Ponsonby Rugby in 2007. She has helped me to recover from 2 shoulder reconstructions and a knee reconstruction. I would promote her in the highest for anything regarding sports. As an ex pro League player in Australia 2003-2004 and ex dual NZ 19’s in both rugby and league”

“Learning Kung-Fu has become an enjoyable experience for my son since he has joined the Kung-Fu school 5 years ago. The instructors are skillful and following a syllabus where all the students are catered according to their level. I have seen a drastic development within my son in terms of decipline, attention and personality. It's great to see that my son is always excited to learn and develop his Kung-Fu.”

“Best all-round recovery clinic in Auckland!! My first visit was in 2019 when I first injured my back. The team here were very knowledgeable and supportive in improving my spine health. Been visiting this clinic again for the last two months after another injury and I am genuinely surprised how much better my body is feeling now. The Chiropractors here are both very experienced and friendly. The clinic is neat and they have the latest equipment. Definitely try out their Normatec compression boots. If you are into traditional methods, you can also get acupuncture treatment from their acupuncturist. Highly recommend this place to everyone with a fatigued back or anyone wishing to improve their physical performance.”

“Very lucky to be able to learn Isha Yoga programs right here in Auckland. I have attended 3 programs in the last 5 months, the space is very inviting and energized. Teacher is very patient, supportive and covers the details with clarity. A very enjoyable experience, I will be back to learn more!”

“This is an amazing Gym, and so are the staff. The gym space and bathroom are clean, and well maintained. I left another gym that I was practically paying $1/day for 24/7 access, to join this gym. While this gym is smaller and doesn't have as much equipment. It has everything I need to complete my work outs without feeling that I've lost workout volume. Also the fact that it's always clean, the members are considerate to put away the gear they use, and the bathrooms are clean. The gym is never packed to the point that I'm waiting for equipment, not forced to change my routine. I am grateful for this gym, I'm only annoyed I didn't join sooner.”

“This gym is awesome. Learn about boxing in a fun and friendly environment - but expect a tough workout and to leave with nothing left in the tank! Jay is great to train with and takes a personal interest in all of his members. Give it a go you won't regret it....”

“Great instructors, friendly training partners and huge mat area. Instructors are multi-disciplined with Judo experience too which is handy. Affordable prices compared to other BJJ gyms, this is the place to be!”

“I started at Altitude Pole Takapuna a year ago when I first moved to Auckland and it has been such an amazing part of my life. The instructors are perfect, no matter what skill level you are. I have made great friends through the studio as well. One last thing is it is such an accepting place no matter of size, age or gender. It is a great place if you need to gain some confidence or want to feel good about yourself :)”

“Profound experience with the group breathwork session, would love to do it again. The highlights for me were connecting with my inner child, and experiencing the power of what I can do with my breath. Wessel and Giulia held the space really well.”
