BuildaBody: Opinions
Negative experience: Cold, dirty, unprofessional and way too expensive. No thanks. Plenty of better options out there these days.
Fantastic experience: I came to Buildabody for a week and the trainers were so lovely and welcoming. Helped me with my technique when it came to lifting and pushed me to be better when it came to conditioning. If I find myself living in Wellington, I will definitely be singing up at Buildabody.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym on and off over the last 3 years as I go back and forth between NZ and HK for rugby. When I’m living in NZ, I always find myself coming back to Buildabody. I have absolutely loved it sine my first visit a few years back. Trainers and members are so friendly, it’s such a welcoming atmosphere. Not only taught me a lot in the gym and nutrition etc but also about myself as well. 100% would recommend to friends and family.
Negative experience: This gym is cold and dirty. Needs a good clean. It doesn't feel professional at all. Plus $$$ No thanks.
Fantastic experience: Great place to keep fit. The trainer are very good.

Negative experience: The equipment was outdated (some free weights were held together with tape) and almost feels like someone’s home gym. Claims to “not be like commercial gyms” but in actual fact is worse. They don’t list the price for any memberships on the website as a tactic to force you to contact them and/or be forced into a membership when you do a “no obligation visit”. Overall not great, owner took my cancelation personally and his attitude considerably changed after I didn’t want to pay $25 dollars per week.
We sincerely apologize for your experience, Dean. Your feedback regarding our equipment and membership process is invaluable, and we will address these concerns to improve our services. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your input, and we are committed to making necessary changes.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great community vibe and very different from other gyms that I have belonged to in the past. The coaches made time to get to know me as a person and are kind about helping me stay accountable to the goals I've set for myself, even when I want to forget about them. I love the group training sessions and other gym members made me feel very welcome when I first joined.
Fantastic experience: I signed up initially for a two week trial and really enjoyed the experience. I joined mainly for group sessions and the trainers and members were very welcoming. The ability of the group ranges with gym members from all walks of life. It's a very relaxed environment. I appreciate the assistance with nutrition and fitness as part of the membership as it's something I need to focus on and not all gyms offer it as part of the membership. I feel motivated to achieve my fitness goals this year.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Paige! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your trial and found our community welcoming. It's great to know that our support with nutrition and fitness is helping you feel motivated. We look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey this year!
Cheers, BuildaBody team

Fantastic experience: Great vibe, trainers have good knowledge and willing to help
Fantastic experience: I had been sidelined due to injury for a year. Going back to any gym gives me anxiety. I came to this gym not knowing what to expect, would I like it, lots of questions in my mind. So far it’s has been an excellent decision of signing up. You have your own space of doing your routines, exercises and everyone is helpful, no judgement . You maybe a beginner or a professional athletes The trainers are knowledgeable and have energy and positive attitude.
Fantastic experience: I’ve loved my experienced. I feel comfortable and welcomed by the staff every time I come in for a workout

The personalised coaching within a universally designed programme, coupled with ample lifting stations and a well planned environment, makes it an ideal training setting for everyone to train together. I highly recommend BaB for anyone looking for a supportive and effective gym environment! J
Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over a year now, B.A.B has definitely been a great start for me and now my Son. Group sessions are not over crowed and you don't get left not knowing what to do.. The coaches are great and fully focus on you and give great advice to improve technique and form.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with great trainers and a positive environment.
Fantastic experience: 1 million percent recommend this place. I've been at the CBD location of Buildabody since March and I haven't missed a week. The support and guidance from the trainers has improved so many aspects of my life and has honestly been a godsend during a pretty tough year personally. I feel like I basically get personal training each class, and that's the point of difference I'm here for. I'm never leaving.
Fantastic experience: Been a member for a year now. Absolutely love it. This is the 3rd gym I've joined in the last 10 years and the only gym that would check in if they hadn't seen me for a while offering support etc. Variety of classes, very helpful and friendly trainers and who know you by name :) Highly recommend Buildabody.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member for four years this year and wouldn't think of going anywhere else . BaB has been both my challenge and reward. I continue to apply myself and strive to do better every day. Thank you to the coaches and members who I consider whānau. E whakawhetai anō ana ahau - I continue to be grateful.

Fantastic experience: Joining BAB was the best thing I have done for my physical health, fitness and mental wellbeing. The guys are always supportive and encouraging every step of the way. It's like a little community that I'm happy I belong too. Highly recommend if your not already a member you should be!
Fantastic experience: The real point of difference for me with this gym is when I let sicknesses, work and life in general take over they reach out to get me back track and reset my goals. The classes offer great variety and the members and trainers really start to feel like whānau. Buildabody really has a unique strategy to keep members motivated and showing up, not for the gym but for yourself. I started here after having my fourth baby and third c-section, everything was adapted to allow me to train safely and at my own pace. Now I’m targeting personal best weights I never thought possible and I’m enjoying getting fitter and stronger each week.
Fantastic experience: Buildabody Lower Hutt have got a great thing going! The atmosphere is always positive and the trainers are always energetic and friendly! Special shout out to Ollie who has helped me smash some goals this year!

Fantastic experience: My fitness and strength has progressed so much at this gym compared to your average cheap gym. I started out with a PT once a week and loved watching the way the staff and patrons interacted with each other, so jumped into some group classes. Everyone is so kind and I have made some new friends and feel comfortable with all the staff. It's never overwhelmingly too busy and there are so many weights so there is no fighting over and waiting for equipment. I highly recommend BuildaBody if you want great result, working with dedicated staff and great music too

Fantastic experience: Worked with BuildaBody around Strength & Conditioning for Hutt Valley High School 1st XV, the coaches at BuildaBody have done and outstanding job getting our players fit for the current season. With a targeted programme around rugby our boys are far fitter and stronger due to the time and effort invested in them, and we have had a huge reduction in injuries this year due to it. Thanks Kieran & Daniel, Nikau, Ollie, Jannaia & Norman.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and enthusiastic trainers that makes you feel part of the family. Strongly recommend if you want a challenge, build strength and have fun at the same time.
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym hands down to hold true to their values, best PTs you'll ever meet! Couldn't recommend these guys enough. The knowledge, guidance and support is 100% incredible!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place. I’ve been going to this gym for a few months now and this is the best gym Ihave found so far. Place is always clean and tidy. Every gym session the trainer is ready with the workout plan and know their stuff. I always feel welcomed and encouraged, which keeps me coming back. During the group workouts, they give you enough attention, telling you to correct your postures etc so you always feel you are at a safe place and the trainer cares about the members.
Fantastic experience: Love the team, the atmosphere, the people! They have a genuine interest in your progress and check in to ensure that you are achieving your goals. The classes are well structured and the coaches are AMAZING! I look forward to going to my classes and it never feels like a chore. They also host social events. SO much to love about BuildaBody!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful energy every time I walk into Buildabody Gym. Trainers are awesome. Been 2 weeks, 5 sessions so far and I'm still working it. Best decision I've made this year and I'm loving it :-) The support is awesome. Highly recommend 100%
Fantastic experience: Best decision I made joining up, just over 2 weeks in and I've found my motivation again after losing it for a couple years. The trainers are incredibly helpful and are always available during classes to help and get you doing the best. Super encouraging atmosphere, really friendly people in the classes, I couldn't recommend more
Fantastic experience: Buildabody is the first gym that I have managed to make a real go of improving my fitness. The group training really helps with motivation and the encouragement from other members and coaches is priceless. Can’t recommend Buildabody enough
Fantastic experience: The trainers at build a body have helped me understand, plan and prepare the food I enjoy in the quantities I need to both be able to enjoy eating and lose/maintain weight. I love the classes and the social aspect of the gym. Grwat people work there, great people working out there
Fantastic experience: BAB Upper Hutt is fab. I have struggled for years committing to fitness and getting myself to any gym on a regular basis, due to not having a clue what to do, classes not fitting into my schedule or just not being confident enough to go and work it out myself. BAB has changed that. Their classes are spaced throughout the day, so if I miss an am one I can fit it in at lunch, or in the evening. Having this flexibility is key. The coaches are great too, they have helped me correct my form and are watching to ensure you aren't going to injure yourself. They have helped with different options when the class exercise has been a bit beyond my strength level. I can feel myself getting stronger and more confident already, and I actually look forward to going.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the workouts. The friendly other participants. Amazing coaches, who are always ready to support. They have great knowledge. I feel more energized and flexible after only 3 weeks. Great for this old body.
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym about 2weeks ago after hearing about it from a friend who has been going to the Upper Hutt club for over 6 months. I feel really good and motivated. The trainers are awesome and people are friendly. Thanks team at Buildabody!
Fantastic experience: Started 3 weeks ago & have felt very welcome by everyone, trainers and other gym goers. Always someone to talk to if I need.
Fantastic experience: Great space for a workout, either on your own steam or in a group. Skilled and friendly trainers who keep you honest. I appreciate the no mirrors policy too.
Fantastic experience: The gym and people are amazing. I’ve been enjoying every session and feeling very motivate. The sessions are fun and there is always support from the coach showing you what to do and also checking on you to see how you going and feeling. I recommend it at 100%
Fantastic experience: BuildaBody is a supportive and inclusive gym environment. Working in smaller classes you are able to get a lot of hands on support with coaches. I have found in the few months I have been going a change in my focus towards nutrition and huge growth in overall strength. Highly recommend to anyone looking at any stage of their fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for almost two years now and honestly can’t fault the place. It’s a good fit for anyone starting their fitness journey or looking to challenge themselves on the daily. The trainers here have a wealth of knowledge among them and can help set you up for success with your fitness and nutrition goals. I personally have learnt so much about how the body operates and have enjoyed every second of my training. This place is like a second home now and has made a massive impact on how I live life day to day, so much so that I’m currently studying towards a degree in nutrition. Honestly couldn’t recommend a better gym. If you sign up here you’ll fall in love with exercise and never want to stop.
Fantastic experience: For years I have suffered from a herniated disc in my lower back, the pain would sometimes get so bad I was unable to get out of bed, I have tried everything possible from physio, pain killers and even a cortisone injection in the damaged disc with little or no relief After 4 weeks working with Jayden from BuildaBody I no longer have pain, I have my full mobility back and am able to go back to doing things I couldn't due to the pain. If you suffer from lower back pain I highly recommend talking with Jayden, he has helped me emencly and has given me back a life without pain.
Fantastic experience: BuildaBody has been the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. The workouts are always a challenge and the coaches are amazingly supportive. I honestly cannot praise BuildaBody enough. I definitely recommend them to everyone.

I can honestly say my first initial meet and greet wasn't what I had made up in my head lol...as a mama of 4 and nanny to 1 I was super nervous, but thanks to Ben I got over that pretty quick and was excited about my first session with the team.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly small gym, where the instructor's are very knowledgeable communicate instructions amazingly helping you to learn proper techniques. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: In just two short weeks Buildabody has really shown me how a gym should be run. The group classes are great, the coaches really care and are more than happy to help where they’re needed, they’re encouraging and they want to see you succeed. It’s also been a place where I’ve been able to learn more about my body, my strengths, and what I mainly need to work on. Massive thanks to Jayden and Ben who have really welcomed me and taken an interest in helping!
