Exercise gym in New Zealand

“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.”

“Could not recommend a gym more! They have the most amazing coaches who are all so inclusive and welcoming. With a diverse range of class options for changing up your routine, from high intensity to strength or pilates - makes training more engaging and enjoyable! The overall atmosphere at Habitat is great - you'll always feel safe and included and you'll leave the gym with the best post workout endorphins!!”

“Best atmosphere, nice and friendly people. Great coaches.”

“If you're looking for a studio to join I highly recommend Limitless Studio! The teachers & students are some of the nicest people I have ever met, so it's a great place to meet new people and the atmosphere is really welcoming. Each teacher & class varies between flow, dynamics, flex or static movements, so depending on what you're trying work on there's always a class to match your vibe. I've improved on my hoop skills significantly since joining and even managed master some flair moves that I've been trying to get for years.”

“Have been dealing with a knee injury and cannot recommend Akl Phy enough they are a true professional outfit who do genuinely care for their patients. Special shout out to Niamh who spent many sessions with me making sure I was discharged feeling 110% better. Will be my choice for physiotherapy going forward.”

“Really accomodating, great culture with very encouraging coaches and the price is just right. Possibly the best MMA gym in Auckland”

“I had moved nearby a few months ago and decided to try their Intro to Pole Sport classes. It was totally out of my comfort zone but they were so welcoming that I decided to get a membership! It's definitely a family. Would 100% recommend. I've brought friends to the flexibility classes as well and they enjoyed it! I recommend the memberships, but if you can't fork the money and happen to have ClassPass they are on there as well! But if it's your first time going make sure to go to the intro classes - I think you have to do 5 before going to Level 1.”

“I had my first boxing class ever with this guys and I loved it from the first second. Everybody is really really friendly and welcoming. I also like the 'fight conditioning' classes because of the good variety of exercises and the group feeling. You will really push yourself! I'm sure the whole concept is interesting for any possible fitness level. Thanks for making me addicted to this sport! Highly recommend - Big fun!”

“Catherine is a fantastic physio. I've been to her over a number of years for various injuries. She is outstanding at diagnosing the underlying issue. Her treament plans have always resulted in any injuries being remedied. The rehab exercises she recommends are always spot on. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Great gym with friendly and encouraging trainers. Includes boxing fitness classes and circuits. Suitable for all fitness levels and abilities. Good value for money.”

“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.”

“Fitness Canterbury is a loving supporting gym that wants to see you succeed. What I love about it the gym is the variety of equipment that is supplies and how it never gets too crowded when working out. The gym is a like a Machine heaven with kind workers. If your looking for a gym this one’s for you”

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

“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”

“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’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!”

“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”

“Alpha Brave is a fantastic box with their expert and friendly coaching staff. The vibe of the gym is supportive and friendly while each coach goes out of her way to make sure you have correct form and support you along the way during the toughest of workouts. It has everything you could possibly want and expect! Highly recommend the box.”

“Belinda Goodwin is a natural and empathetic dance teacher who appears to have found her true calling in life. Her classes are inspirational - each session commencing with Belinda giving an explanation of what areas and systems she is focusing on for that class. Each dance is demonstrated and its beneficial components explained further throughout the movement. Belinda also elaborates on the links between the physical and emotional aspects of the movements and how they are related to the rhythm of the music for each piece. As participants she reminds us off the importance of the brain to develop new neural networks which can only serve to benefit participants further. Belinda gains the trust of her pupils so they work hard to meet her expectations. She uses praise constantly and does not criticise or cajole her students. She encourages them to do what they feel they can best achieve within the limitations of their Individual conditions. The class benefits from her physicality, musicality and sense of spirituality as well as her great sense of rhythm. She loves to heighten the mood of a dance by adding vocalisations to give special emphasis to sections of the music that she particularly enjoys or wants stressed. Her special talents combined with her enthusiasm for life and her compassion, concern and consideration for and of her pupils as individuals make Belinda an unforgettable, excellent dance teacher.

“Charlie listens carefully and understands my issue. She has devised a holistic plan that caters to my individual issues, needs and limitations . I really appreciate the resources available at Beyond Physio with the app which makes it easy for me to practise the rehab exercises correctly, and also with the gym providing a wider range of ways to support my rehab. Charlie’s non- judgmental style makes her really easy to talk to and her experience shows in her wisdom and approach to my treatment. Peri and Menopausal women… Charlie has a good understanding of the realities of this stage and I’ve been really impressed with my treatment and recovery progress.”

“Love attending the Mum & Bub pilates classes. I always get a great workout with my mind at ease knowing my bub is also in great hands. Leyla is awesome with the babes and somehow manages to ensure they're happy (adapt the class if needed) while simultaneously delivering a great class.”

“I recently visited Redefined for Rest & Restore class, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was so calming, the instructor was wonderful, and I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind and recharge!”

“The best gym! Jono and the team always go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There’s a brilliant range of classes and equipment, so there really is something for everyone. Even for those of us who aren’t overly passionate about working out and just want to stay in shape, you’re always made to feel comfortable, supported, and important.”

“The calm vibe at Alma is what keeps me coming back. The yoga classes push me in a good way- whether it be physically or mentally, I always seem to have my needs met on the day, leaving either relaxed or revived. The new building is stunning- so much thought and care has been taken with the design- even the bathrooms are gorgeous! But my favourite place of all is the relaxation snug. A hot herbal tea and a sit down after class is the perfect tonic before setting off back into the real world!”

“I actually had an appointment to see Rach @ renew. Shes a lovely down to earth easy going lady. Worth the visir. has helped me with improving my health n wellbeing.”

“Great workouts, knowledgeable trainer and good bunch of people!”

“Have just signed up. Super friendly team and feel like I have my own private gym as it's nice and casual and quiet. Shout out to Maddi who made signing up a breeze for this novice gym bunny . Also got a start up programme which set me on the right track from the start”

“Amazing, welcoming friendliest place to be.”

“I have been a long-time customer of Paladin and have consistently been impressed with the exceptional quality of their gear. Orders always arrive on time, and the products are reliable and well-made. I highly recommend Paladin to individuals, sports teams, and clubs seeking high-quality athletic apparel and equipment.”
