To sign up online our memberships require you to be 18 years old, however, we understand that our youth love to use our space as well have a variety of options to cater for everyone’s needs. These memberships need to be set up in person with your local club.

Youth aged 14 – 17 are available to attend the gym unsupervised with a membership under the authority of a parent/guardian.

Youth under the age of 14 must be supervised by a parent or guardian. Standard group fitness classes are not available, only classes specialized for families and children.

The parent does not need to be a paying member of the gym if only supervising.

If the parent is intending to work out as well, they need to have their own membership.

Discounted prices are available for those interested to get a parent and child membership.

We know how hard it is to look after yourself while juggling the kids. Our Upper Hutt and Paraparaumu sites offer childminding sessions in the morning so you can work out while your little one is entertained. This room is also available outside these hours for your children to play under your responsibility.

For all our other locations, children may sit and wait on the couch or in a safe space according to the manager's discretion of your child’s age and capability to stay away from the equipment to ensure their safety.

Our gym is a place where you are meant to feel comfortable so if any question comes up down the track our team are more than happy to help.

That’s how many feel at the beginning and nothing to be afraid of. No one expects you to be an expert when starting something new. Our team are more than happy to help and guide you in the right direction. We have a few different services to help in this situation.

Classes
Classes are a great way to start training when you’re trying to make a change. All our classes are catered to all fitness levels, and most are held in a small group training environment where you won’t be intimidated by mass numbers. Classes have the benefit of keeping you accountable to training at specific times as well as meeting a group of like-minded people.

If it has been some time since you exercised, or you haven’t exercised before, then we suggest you pace yourself both with the weights you are lifting and the intensity you are working with on the cardio equipment (e.g. bike, treadmill etc). Personal Trainers are a great option for ensuring the intensity of your training is correct but some basic things you can apply to your training are as follows:

If using the cardio equipment remember to warm up. 5-10 mins of gentle exercise will have your body and muscles feeling warm and you will feel your breathing rate increase. As a beginner, we suggest around 30 – 45min max. If on the treadmill/bike/rower or cross-trainer you want to break a light sweat but still be able to talk. Jumping straight to high intensities in the first session can leave you very sore and, in some cases, unmotivated to return.

When lifting weights start with sets of around 15-20 repetitions for 2-3 sets per exercise. That means the weight will be low enough for you to lift that many repetitions. Try to stick to around 5-8 exercises as a beginner. Remember specific goals require more specific approaches but these are some guidelines at least.

Weight Loss is created when the body burns more calories than consumed. It is important when exercising to incorporate cardio sessions as well as strength training sessions. Cardio has its place as a great way of burning calories, with weight training playing its part to build muscle. An increase in muscle mass in turn increases your metabolism, burning more calories around the clock, even at rest.

Weight loss always needs to be accompanied by a change of eating habits. We have a variety of different nutrition services available for you here.

The time you spend exercising is very specific to the goal you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to improve your general fitness, then 30mins is a great starting point. If you are trying to build lean muscle, then you may need more time such as 60min. Weight loss can require similar timeframes of between 45-60mins.

You can cancel at any time with 10 days' notice, and it is as easy as filling out your details under your club suspension link on our contact us page here. They will be in touch with the form to fill out.

As our memberships already have the best price guaranteed with no joining fees, we do not offer an extra discount for students.

We are a family-run business starting out of humble beginnings in Porirua to make health and fitness available to everyone. We are always looking for opportunities to help bring affordable health and fitness solutions to our surrounding communities. If there is something you would like to talk to us about, we would love to hear from you, most likely you will be able to ask the owners directly as they still work on the floor.

We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of equipment from cardio machines, to a variety of resistance equipment to free weights, rigs and all sorts of strength and functional training equipment. Each site varies according to its size. We invite you to come to have a look and see for yourself.

Consistency is important in an area of life when results are wanted, and exercise is no different. Optimal results require a minimum of 2-3x per week. Added sessions over and above this are a benefit but we would suggest a maximum of 5-6 as rest days are important. If you can only commit to once a week then start, there and build from that.

We love that you want to let your friends know about us, however, your membership is not available to share with others. If you would like a friend to come along to try our space, please organise this in advance with one of our managers.

Have your friend mention you when joining, and the two of you can get two weeks free off your membership. Our way of saying thank you for letting someone know about us. 😊

There is a large number of factors that determine someone’s results, and different goals will require more or less time. Generally speaking, if you desire to get fitter or stronger then you could start to see improvements after your first couple of weeks. Weight loss can also happen within the first couple of weeks through adding exercise into your routine. The trick is what to do when you hit a plateau. Adding an additional session or trying some classes and working with a Personal trainer could help you continue the initial results you see.

If there is anything else you would like help with, we would love to hear from you. Give us a call or flick us an email and we’ll be more than happy to assist.
