School in Christchurch

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“My son's been to 3 preschools in Christchurch and these guys are the absolute best. They are the most inclusive, dedicated, and engaged staff we've experienced.”

“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!!!”

“We played Echoes of the Damned on Monday morning and absolutely loved it! The 9/10 scare rating lived up to the hype – pretty intense, especially for my partner – but it made the experience even more thrilling. Great atmosphere, clever puzzles, and plenty of scares. Highly recommend for horror fans!”

“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!”

“Both of our daughters went to Kindercare Wigram from when they were 6months old until they started school. Every one of the teachers and support staff always made us feel welcome each day, staff were always approachable and the communication was amazing. Our girls were loved and cared for each day and their days were full of fun and different learning activities and opportunities. The transition to school from preschool was seamless and they were well prepared for school thanks to the amazing teachers at Kindercare. We have made lifelong friends from families at preschool and my daughters always love going back for a catch up.”

“Portobelo has been a lovely early learning centre for my son, he looks forward to going every day, and enjoys the social interactions and activities. All the staff are super nice and really listen and understand my son's needs and wants.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Bishop was great! Explained the reasoning behind all the moves for the amateur 4WDriver looking to up-skill — was easy to follow and even easier to put into practice. I feel confident and ready to tackle the rough terrain that is our farm after all the slips and flooding. Would def recommend him and ProDriver.”

“My children have been involved with this music school for over three years now. Their classes are a highlight of their (and my) week. The teachers are friendly and talented educators. The rooms are warm, bright and welcoming. As well as having fun their musical aptitude is going from strength to strength. My five year old plays piano with both hands. My seven year old can finally sing in tune. The Chch Music Academy classes are great value for money and an asset for the children of Christchurch. I love the easy parking too:)”

“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 ☺️”

“Can’t thank enough this awesome Kindy. They have great and kind teachers. They’re focused and dedicated to the child’s development. Lots of fun activities that kids would surely enjoy. We’ll miss the school and staffs as my child will move to primary school. Cheers! ❤️ -Karen”

“Great martial art to practice in a relaxed, community-oriented environment. Ideal place to learn true martial art fundamentals for self-defense, fighting, and for personal development. Joining after many, many years experience in another martial art, it has been life changing. Highly recommend.”

“Beststart has some of the most calming and easy to communicate stuff members. Their goals of early childhood education is clear and direct and easy to follow along with, especially for the growth of your children.I would recommend highly to anyone who needs a pre-school/Daycare. One thing I struggled with was money but Best Start offers affordable daycare. Very thankful to have them so close to home ♡”

“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”

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

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“We held our choir retreat here and Showbiz Christchurch couldn’t have been more helpful and generous with their spaces.”
