FACILITIES

The Fitness Co-Op offers a range of services including a gym studio space to complete your own work outs or group training

 

Group training which is a great way to stay motivated and is a great social environment.

We have a number of options for our group training including Bootcamps and our Fitmums group.

We have a dedicated Fitness Studio set up equipped to support group and individual training.

We are also offer Personal Training, availability is limited as both trainers are already working clients one on one, instructing classes and have other work commitments

FITNESS STUDIO 

Our facility has a good range of equipment, but it is not a commercial gym and our pricing reflects that

It has 24/7 Access, a hot shower and enough equipment for your training needs

We do not offer trails or casual access. You can purchase membership for a week if you would like to use it as a one off and then cancel it.

We are not a staffed facility so we do not offer supervision or tours. 

Pricing and terms differ

GROUP TRAINING 

Group training is something that is very popular as it is a great way to find motivation and accountability, while working with a trainer who can provide assistance with form and help you get results.

Head to a group fitness class on the days you’re not motivated to work out. With a trainer telling you what to do, the session is less work for you, while still being effective.

You can be more motivated to work harder also as your classmates are also doing the same exercises as you.

Everyone is “in it together” in a group fitness class, which naturally lends itself to camaraderie among members. For people who like to be social, this is an important factor. For those who are competitive, the social aspect is valuable because with a little camaraderie comes friendly competition, pushing you to work harder.

Our group training options are explained in the class schedule so you can find the ones that appeal to you

PERSONAL TRAINING 

Personal training is available on request with Paige or Taryn

We completed our qualifications of Health and Fitness Coach (Personal Trainer) Level 4 with NZMA in 2024.

Previous to that we were instructing our group training classes and working on our own personal fitness goals

We are extremely active people who have trained for multiple running events over the years and we are both people who started at the very bottom in terms of fitness. 

Both of us started in the gym environment in group training classes and this is where we built our passion for fitness and training others.

Personal training involves us working one on one with a client to help them achieve their fitness goals. Sessions are limited due to our other committments.

Options are for half hour or hour sessions and we recommend at least 2 per week
