Recently I decided it was about time I became a regular gym bunny, as its been about two years…read moresince I was. I was happily surprised that this gym was what i was looking for, I think the exterior can give you another story when inside you have a little bitt of everything, and fitness is the priority. This used to be a Northcote plant nursery about four years ago, as I remember it when I first moved to the area. On my first visit I chatted with the friendly trainer on a weekend afternoon as the gym was about to shut. I was welcomed in for a free one week trial where I could try out the three different classes available, and use any of the weights and machines in the gym. I tried out Box fit, which is high intensity boxing class combined with lots of cardio and strength exercises, and also my favourite class the StretchFit which is a combination of Yoga and Pilates. Have to say the seller on my membership was the Stretch fit class because I get such a massive return from it, gives me extra energy and keeps me flexible. The friendly and passionate staff, and top quality fitness gear make this a really great gym. They have competitive prices if you sign up as a couple. I am super happy with the close proximity to where I live as this keeps me regular too.

Always wanted to join a boxing gym but wasn't sure how it would be as someone with no experience…read more I'm very happy with Shane Cameron Fitness. The classes like BoxFit are a nice change of pace from the usual treadmill and weights (which they have there as well). The staff are all friendly and welcoming. The instructors do an excellent job of motivating you to work hard. Highly recommend this place!

This boxing gym is designed with both female & male clients in mind, who take fitness seriously…read more There are a few personal trainers to book 1-1 sessions with - depending on what your goals are. I personally want to tone: boxing is ideal for cardio, upper body strength and core. I go in looking glam, leave feeling exhausted & drenched in perspiration. Amazing what an intensive 30 minute session can achieve! There is a boxing ring, boxing bags, rowing machine, bikes, gym equipment, Dumbbells and everything you need to get fit. Exercise not only makes you feel good (by releasing endorphins), it's great for your well being (reducing stress) & general health. Prices from $45-$80 per 30/60 minutes. Located at the end of Minnie Street, parking available outside the gym.

If you are a group fitness junkie, there's a good chance you've taken BodyPump, Body Combat, Body…read moreAttack, RPM, Sprint, GRIT, and CX Worx. Well, this is where it all started back in 1968 by the Mills family. If you are a Les Mills instructor like me, this is Mecca and it's a big deal to come here. Jamie D'Angelo is one of the managers at this gym who moved to NZ from the US. She gave us a tour of the facility. They have 2 floors and several buildings or towers connected by a bridge. They have a CrossFit area, free weights and machine area, cardio area, boxing area with a ring, and group fitness studios. They film masterclasses in the group fitness studios. The studios are huge and can fit up to 200 people. While in NZ, I took BodyPump, CX, and Body Attack from Dan Cohen, Georgina, Glen Ostergaard, and Susan Renata. I wanted to classes from Ben Main and Lisa Osborne but they were off. I would've loved to take Dan and Rach's Body Combat class but my flight was only 2 hours before their class started and I would have missed my flight. I know most people are like "who are those people and why are they a big deal?!" I'm not usually a big fan girl of actors and actresses but I love athletes, and people who promote Health and Fitness around the world - and that's what these people do and they are good and passionate about it. I'm a bit partial to BodyPump instructors because that's the class I teach (more certifications to come). I absolutely love taking Glen's class - he's the program director after all. He's the man behind the song selections and choreography for BodyPump. I loved Susan's class too - she's very chatty while she teaches and she connects with her participants. Jamie had told her that we were going to her class. Right before class started, we introduced ourselves to Susan and she knew we were "the girls from Vegas" and got a special mention in class. We noticed that the gym members keep to themselves. They go in, they go out. They're not the type that stick around after class to chat with the Instructor or other members like we do at our gym but that might be a cultural thing. The group fitness studios have ear plugs (for people who find the music too loud), drinking fountains and fans with misters. The gym has a small cafe where you can get a snack or a smoothie. There's a vending machine for bottled water and energy drinks. They also have a clothing store that carries mostly Reebok (the official outfitter of Les Mills) and a lady named Mary works there and she is an absolute sweetheart. She's very helpful and friendly. I think you have to pay for parking - not sure how that bit works since we stayed at a hotel nearby and got a multi-day pass.

Massive gym, great group exercise options. there were plenty of studios and lots of space. Looking…read moreforward to getting another solid workout in next time. bring your own lock, these aren't combo lockers, got a great month deal as I was here in NZ for a month. Suggestion box: Wish there were more mirrors in the group areas and I can't recall which les mills had carpet, Britomart I think, it would be nice if it was...the opposite of carpet. Not sure where all my sweat went or how long it will be there... Also, it's hard to feel like your in an elite fitness club when the walls are trying to convince you you're in a kids club day care. I mean cmon- purple and chartreuse? Hopefully in the near future it'll be replaced with maybe some modern desaturated wall tile or something...well anything accept those two colors together I think would be an improvement. Great gym tho.

Brand new gym located between Newmarket and Auckland Domain…read more Two group fitness rooms, rpm room and weights/machine room. Got one of two of everything. Not for hardcore lifters. Plenty of classes, I was told it has the most classes out to of all Les Milld. Still going through them all. Some of the instructors are new, so you may have to just try them out. Convenient parking next door but only for 75 min. They have a very weird ticketing system where you have to enter your number plate and get a ticket but you don't have to display the ticket. No cafe like the city gym but I guess it's close enough to Newmarket shops that you can just go there afterwards. Overall Grey new clean place with friendly staff. Check it out!

I was in town for vacation and decided to drop in here with my boyfriend and sister…read more The coach and members were all so kind and friendly. The box was average sized- warehouse style and clean. The coach started off the workout with a dynamic warmup before going over the workout. He warmed us up together for the cleans that were part of the WOD. After the workout, we all stretched together as well. We didn't end up getting charged for the drop in- thank you very much for that! We did buy some cool shirts/tanks. Parking is easy to find right outside and along the street.

I can't say I have experience in gyms seeing this is my first, but I'm definitely glad I picked…read morethis one after a recommendation from a friend. Firstly, the thing that sold me was they have a 2 lane private pool, and surprisingly it's hardly ever busy, usually I'm the only one in there, because I can't stand sharing a lane with 5 other people at a public pool. The gym also has a spa pool, steam room, sauna, and showers with shampoo and shower gel provided. The main feature of the gym is the supervised circuit, a set of 8 different weight machines to work out your whole body. It isn't full blown personal training but the trainers are there every step of the way to setup the next machine and push you till failure to get the most out of your workout. I've definitely seen a good improvement in strength and muscle gain from this. The trainers are also super friendly, and always offer advice and help with learning to use other machines in the gym. The only downfall is obviously all this comes at a price, which is a fair bit higher than a gym like Jett's, it's around 90-150 per month, depending on the term you select. But in my opinion, well worth it, especially for new gym-goers like myself, for the supervised circuit and the amenities. Only other thing is being a highly staffed gym, it's not open 24/7. I think currently it's about 5:30am to 9pm during the week. PS, keep an eye on their website if you're looking at joining, they usually have a decent joining offer.

Very clean and professional gym. Really appreciate that the locker rooms have shampoo and soap…read moreprovided in the showers as well as hair dryers and electronic lockers. Really nice to not have to deal with providing your own lock. The real unique point of Bodytech is the well-staffed floor and the supervised circuit workout. This is part of membership and is like getting free mini-personal training sessions. When you factor in those features it is reasonably priced and good value for money. I have been a member for 6 years, I think that says it all, right?

Jaime Ridge was known to train here when she was doing her whole fight for life thing and I think I actually saw her once which was pretty exciting. And hey if its good enough for Jaime Ridge then it's definately good enough for me. Monty Betham, former captain of the New Zealand Warriors is also sighted occasionally as he's a pretty damn good boxer too! I really love the box fit classes here, I've always wanted to get into boxing but its one of those things that seems a little terrifying, but the box fit workout is a really good way to ease yourself into it for a start anyway, it makes It super accessible for all ages and fitness levels. It almost kills you it's so strenous but its worth it when you come out looking like Mike Tyson. And for a measly 20 bucks a class why would you not give it a try. Or you can talk to the guys about starting a membership.
