About Us

We’re built for people who take their training seriously - but don’t take themselves too seriously.

We’re based out of Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, and from the start, our goal has been simple: create a space where athletes and everyday people can train properly. Not just access equipment, but feel supported, understood, and part of something.

Most of our members aren’t chasing aesthetics. They’re training for something - events, competitions, or just the satisfaction of getting better. That shapes everything we do. The layout, the equipment, the coaching, and the way we interact with people on the gym floor.

We’ve grown through word of mouth more than anything else. People tend to stay, bring their friends, and become part of the environment. That’s something we’re proud of.

Alongside training, we run workshops, support local athletes, and try to make the gym accessible to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity. We also work with groups like Moana House and support community initiatives where we can.

At our core, we aren’t trying to be everything to everyone. We’re a place to train well, be around good people, and win.

Our Culture

We care about people feeling acknowledged when they walk in. That means learning names, having conversations, and paying attention.

We take pride in our space. The gym is kept clean, organised, and running properly. Small things matter here, and everyone takes ownership of that.

We look for people who are easy to be around. No egos, no drama. Just people who do their job well, help where needed, and contribute to a positive environment on the floor.

If there’s a common thread, it’s this: We do the basics well, are good to people, and take pride in our environment.
