Calibre Strength & Fitness Calibre Strength and Fitness is a small garage gym focused on strength, muscle, and better body composition. and High Intensity Resistance Training (H.I.R.T.).

Small group training, limited 1:1 coaching, no crowds, no fluff, just smart training that works. If someone is struggling with excess body fat and is short on time, where do they turn? The answer is not to be found in your gym’s “cardio area,” but on the other side of the gym where you’ll find the barbells, dumbbells, and squat racks. You may be surprised at this revelation, but weight training is the most effective way to lose weight/body fat…... and THAT is what Calibre is all about. The Calibre program is small group (max 8ppl) training offering two (2) styles of class, Body Composition Training (B.C.T.) B.C.T. is a high-volume session focussing on weight training. H.I.R.T is going to HURT, it is high volume resistance with interval cardio. Calibre is efficient on time, fun, builds incredible work capacity, and can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. What type of results can you expect from the Calibre program? Most men can expect to drop 0.5 percent of body fat per week while gaining muscle. As for women, it’s not uncommon for a woman with 16 percent body fat to go down to 9 percent within 12 weeks… and by the way, these results can often be achieved without drastically changing your diet. Calibre will help you build strength and muscle while burning maximum fat for a leaner, healthier look. So let the others go “breathe and move” with cardio, but if you want to lose fat, and lose it fast, try pumping some iron with Calibre. See you in the garage soon!

A little timetable update for our evening crew.

From Monday 7 September, our current 6pm class will be replaced with two 45 minute evening sessions:

5.30pm to 6.15pm, Monday to Thursday
6.20pm to 7.05pm, Monday to Friday

Our 6pm class has been getting pretty busy, with regular long waitlists, so this gives everyone a bit more flexibility and a better chance of getting into the session that suits them.

Same Calibre crew, just more options to train.

Happy Matariki ✨

Wishing our Calibre community a restful long weekend filled with good food, good people, and a chance to reset.

We’ll be closed on Friday 10 July and back again on Monday 13 July.

Enjoy the break, team. We’ll see you back in the gym ready to move, lift, and get stuck in again.

Chris & Valerie 💪🏼 🫶🏽 💪🏼

Team Calibre, are we getting muddy again?

We’re looking at putting together a crew for the Tough Guy & Gal Challenge on Sunday 9 August 2026 at Kumeu Showgrounds.

It’s a 6km off-road mud run, which means mud, chaos, questionable life choices, and probably Chris pretending he’s not enjoying himself.

Entry includes:

🟤 6km event entry
🟤 Return shuttle
🟤 Finishing medal
🟤 Electronic timing

Cost: $99 per person
Booking and payment deadline: 1 July 2026

This is not about being the fastest. It’s about turning up, having a laugh, getting filthy, and doing something fun together outside the gym.

Speak to Chris or Valerie if you’re keen, or email [email protected] to register your interest.

We don’t sweat, we sparkle. Mud just adds texture!

Four years with us and what a journey. When Karen first walked into Calibre, lifting a small barbell felt huge and if we’re honest, we weren’t sure we’d see her again after the free trial 😂

Fast forward and she’s strong, confident, consistent, and proof of what showing up over time can do. We’re so grateful for the support, laughs, and loyalty over the years.

Wishing you all the very best as you head north into retirement and your next chapter, Karen. You’ll be missed around here 💛

On behalf of Valerie and myself, thank you all for another great year in the garage. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you.
