Sport school in Christchurch

“Over a two week period I have completed the PG1 and PG2 course then passed my Paramotoring course through Parapro - with Dave. The course exceeded my expectations. Over the two week period I observed that Dave is the most experienced instructor in Christchurch (due to his age and time flying) his mannerism is both calming and reassuring, which made him an awesome instructor. I came away with the confidence to continue flying on my own. Hopefully for many years to come. So if its been on your bucket list, give Dave a ring - you won't be disappointed! Cheers Dave Garth Wilson”

“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!”

“Fast, reliable and friendly service. Great quality skort received, love the utility pocket - it comes in handy when playing lawn bowls. I purchased a size 14 but will probably order a 12 next time. Great price.”

“I was an international guest at TFI for three months. I had an amazing time there; everyone was incredibly welcoming. The institute is excellently equipped, and the fencing was a lot of fun.”

“Enjoyed our tiny tigers session through kidsfest and are looking forward to continuing our journey :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“I loved the retreat! You can choose to do as much or as little as you like. There was a lot of raw honesty in a connective and nurturing environment. Being able to express yourself in such a safe space was truly valuable I'd highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a supportive and authentic experience”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I joined in 1996. Best boost in confidence ive ever had. Great support and community.”

“Great family run club, great fun for the kids while they learn in a world class quality program run sone of new zealands best”

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

“My daughter enjoys the classes and teachers as it is well designed for each age, fast paced and very entertaining. I can see her growing dancers postures and feelings over time, and she keeps asking to go back. She really enjoyed the annual production and it is professionally made and such a great chance for them to shine and familiarise with what’s behind the show and stage.”

“This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.”

“Great swim school! Well organised & Blair is an awesome coach. Highly recommend!”

“My son attends and the coaches are absolutely brilliant. I couldn't recommend them enough.”

“Our grand daughter looks fwd to Wednesday every week.”

“Big thanks to Rodney and the team at Tie Up Aviation for such a warm welcome and an awesome first lesson! The whole experience was super professional, I felt really safe the entire time, and the views were just incredible. The aircraft was in great condition and easy to feel comfortable in. Can’t wait to continue my PPL journey with them soon!”

“Highly rate this swim school! We had spent so much on community pool swimming lessons for our children to learn very little skills. A year on and they have got the children swimming with boards! I’m so impressed with the skills these coaches have ☺️”

“So great. Our 4 year old loved the birthday party gymnastics class. They looked after the kids really well. And got them using their bodies confidently!”

“First time playing mini golf at McDuffs today. $35 for 2 adults and 1 preschooler. Grounds are well maintained, with the castle being the main feature. Had a good time! Highly recommend.”
