School in Christchurch

“Penelope was fantastic today. It was Sunday and busy but she took the time to assess my walking and give me really good options. She made me feel at ease and no question was silly to her. I walked in really nervous and walked out very happy with my Mizanos. Great work and thank you!”

“Best thing I did was sign up to altitude redwood! Such a fun environment to be your self and learn from some very talented people! Highly recommend.”

“Went in to have a one-on-one two hour training session as I hadn't been in the riding seat for about three years. Walked out with my BHST! Steve was absolutely phenomenal. Great sense of humour, made me feel super at ease and confident. He wasn't afraid to hold me accountable when I made silly mistakes, which is exactly what I needed as he could pin point the moments I started overthinking things. He had a great way about him, the session was relaxed, covered all the basics, and when watching back the videos my friend took I hear myself laughing most of the time. Great fun, and Steve was a big part of that. Ornsby better watch out though as I'm devising a plan to steal that blue GN! Highly recommend.”

“my son is loving it. Instructors are friendly and he’s having a brilliant time.”

“I had an excellent experience with my DG license . The training was clear, professional, and very well structured. Complex regulations were explained in a simple and practical way, with real-world examples that made the learning engaging and easy to understand. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions. # online training helps too much to understanding the dangerous goods rules and regulations.”

“My son has just started at Karate here and is loving it. They do a free trial to see if the kids actually like it, which is very helpful. Adding in fun, game based activities, helps to keep the younger ones interested”

“Phenomenal service from Lisa Tippen. Lisa dealt with our auction as we are absentee owners, she arranged every single aspect of the marketing campaign and staging required without any hands on involvement from us as we are in the North Island. From Go to Sold was incredibly quick with Lisa keeping us up to date with every single viewer visit and open homes during this time. She did not miss a single step and we have been blown away at her enthusiasm and dedication to getting our house sold, she is definitely worth her weight in gold. I would highly recommend Lisa to any prospective sellers as we have never experienced such a painless process in what we thought might be a challenge to complete.”

“I’ve been going to BoxHiit30 Papanui for over 2 years now and absolutely love it! The trainers are super supportive and really know how to push you while keeping it fun. It’s such a great community – everyone is welcoming and encouraging, which makes turning up so much easier. I love that they run regular challenges to keep you accountable and add a fun competitive twist. The workouts are always versatile and never boring, which keeps me motivated. Couldn’t recommend BoxHiit30 more to anyo looking for a different gym experience!”

“Great gym with an awesome atmosphere. Very welcoming with solid training sessions and an emphasis on technique. Also has a very flexible timetable offering early morning and evening sessions 5 days a week, plus a Saturday and women’s class. Greg looks after his students and puts in the time and effort to better their jiu jitsu. Love this place.”

“I started at Studio Pilates Rangiora this year and already seeing the benefits! All the teachers are so lovely and really want to push you to do your best - Shout out to Emily! x”

“A really wonderful independent cinema, that also have a dvd library with a huuuuge collection! Nice to browse before your film starts too. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Christchurch!”

“Awesome evening with my lovely wife attending Vivaldi's The Four Seasons by candlelight. Beautiful venue, great acoustics, polite staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“I emailed with a hopeful chance that they might accommodate a ride on Christmas day, and was thrilled that they could. Hannah and Kata greeted us and I produced us to our horses. My mother and I are experienced riders, but had never been on Icelandic horses before. We rode along a wetland with black swans, through beautiful pine forests, and along the ocean beach. They were impressive, easily moving through the trails and powerful through the sand. Kata and Hannah even taught us a new gait, the tolt, special to these incredible builds. The speed they could gain on the beach was exhilarating. Definitely not a horse just for kids. Would highly recommend this horse, this route, and this company!”

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fantastic handling skills training session. Caron's clear explanations and practical demonstrations made a big difference in my understanding of the basic techniques. I especially appreciated how you broke down each maneuver step-by-step, which really helped me grasp the concepts. Your patience and willingness to answer all of our questions created a supportive learning environment. I feel much more confident in my riding abilities thanks to your instruction. Keep up the great work – your approach is truly effective and appreciated!”

“Great gym with great trainers that will help you reach whatever goals you have. I’ve been training at MTC for roughly 18 months it was a little intimidating at first but it didn’t take long for that to go away with how friendly and supportive everyone is.”

“We hold an acroyoga jam at Evolve Studio and it was amazing. We were lucky to get this space free one day for our jam. It is close to the CBD and it was easy to get in using the code. The space is super clean and offers fully equipped toilets and there is a kitchen with filtered water. What a gorgeous studio! We could fit 14 people easily and still had plenty of space. Loved the mirrors and the plants. Taryn, the owner, super friendly and was super kind! Can't wait to use this space again. Thank you!”

“Rafael took 16 of us through a BJJ class as part of a Stag Do. They tailored the experience really well to a range of abilities and everyone had a great time. Would definitely recommend this as an activity in the future.”

“Joining GKR was such a positive step for me. After watching my daughter do it for a month I was so impressed I had to sign up myself! Every Sensei is so supportive in classes, training and guidance and truly care about their students. Each class is fun, energetic and I always have a blast. So happy to be a part of the GKR family!!!”

“Perfect place for sports and training.Awesome staff and facilities for games and indoor activities.Conference rooms are spacious and plenty of carparks!”

“Comfortable seats in the theatre, saw an awesome musical here. Great show.”

“The most amazing experience at Blood Brothers 4pm Show on Sunday., the show was outstanding. Over and above that, was the extra attention given to me by a lovely usher , having very recently had a foot fracture and I was in a moonboot with crutches. Thank you Maggie for popping my crutches away under my seat for me and getting me a small pillow to put my leg on and also coming back at half time to say you had tried unsuccessfully to find me another seat so that I could put my foot up more comfortably. Your kindness was very much appreciated.”

“Our first visit to the new theatre. What an amazing space. Beautifully construction connecting people in many different spaces. The show was fantastic as always. We also had a delicious pizza with sides. We can't wait to go back.”

“I have learned from Reuben for approximately 15 years. Himself & the teaching team at Salsa Latina have always been kind, welcoming & make you feel at home. Level of teaching is great, always leave class feeling like you have accomplished what was taught & plenty of opportunity is given to practice what is being taught. A great variety of classes/styles are on offer. Can not recommend Salsa Latina enough. You are literally learning from one of the best ☺️”

“My daughter loves her karate classes because she is learning new techniques and skills and has attended for over 3 years. She has gained more confidence and shows great independence.”

“Nigel was fantastic from the moment we walked in, he greeted us as we entered and introduced himself. Very knowledgeable and took his time to give us the best service possible, really went the extra mile. Walked away with exactly what we were after. 10/10 will shop here again”

“Pleasant way to enjoy a movie. Very nice coffee. Very helpful, friendly staff.”
