Appropriate workout clothing and footwear must be worn at all times.
The following are not permitted:
- Jandals / flip flops / sandals

It is 2026. We will not regulate the length of someone’s shorts or the size of their sports bra. But we will regulate men making women feel uncomfortable for simply existing.

What a beautiful ride this first 6 months has been in our new gym! Since opening doors on April 11th we’ve welcomed a lot of people and we’re grateful every day that we can provide this space to the Wanaka community.

The last 6 months have flown by for us, welcoming more staff and trainers, slowly getting things off the To-Do list, and better understanding the wants and needs for our members.

Here’s some of our highlights from the past 6 months:
• Amazingly positive feedback from our Sensory Hour. We’re glad we can offer this quiet time to members (a second one might be on it’s way 😉)
• Each month we’ve been able to donate to charities and trusts around Wanaka. This is all from you guys, we’re just the middle-man and it’s been amazing to see.
• We were in a position during winter to donate to Cold Kids with Community Link Upper Clutha which again, all thanks to our members. It is a great feeling when as a business you have the capability to give back.
• And of course, meeting more of our members and coming together as a community.

What we’re looking forward to:
• Later this month we’ll be releasing our own Training Companion app to help people get into the gym with a free workout library and option for personalised plans.
• More events - we have a Thanksgiving lunch around the corner but looking to bring more events into the space over summer.
• New equipment - we have some more pieces on their way which will fill out the floor and your routines.

What would you like to see in the next 6 months?

🩵 Thank you for your support 🩵

Some people love training with loud music and others don’t.

A gym should work for the people who use it and introducing our Sensory Hour is just one small way we can make sure more of our community feel comfortable coming in for a workout.

During 10:30-11:30am every day our music will be paused and our tv’s on one channel to reduce noise, distraction and flickering.

Whether you’re hard of hearing, neurodivergent, or just someone who prefers a quieter start to your day, we hope this hour makes your training more enjoyable!

We’d love to hear your feedback and other ways we can continue to grow our inclusive space.
