Ignite Fitness and Nutrition

Fantastic experience: Overwhelmingly positive experience for me. I'm 40+, work in land surveying which involves carrying equipment digging holes installing pegs, I came to Ignite to better enable me in my job. I also came from a career working in I.T. with little physical demand and poor fitness and was struggling with the demands of work when I switched career. I have now been attending the 6am group sessions Monday/Wednesday/Friday that are capped at 6 people for the past 3 years. I now have the energy and endurance I need to be effective in my work. My posture has been improving and sitting at a desk for extended periods of time no longer causes me shoulder pain. The morning group has consistently been people that are all there for the same functional fitness, you go as challenging or as slow as you need with a focus on listening to your body. Paul is always quick to adjust your movements if you do have any issues and despite being a group session he does his best to ensure the workouts meet everyones needs. My work office is above the gym so very convenient, I did try to simplify walk in to chat with Paul but he is a one man operation so he could easily be busy with a client or not available at that moment. I would recommend messaging Paul from the various contact methods listed on his site to arrange a conversation with him if you are interested. He will also do a couple 1 on 1 sessions to get a sense of your initial fitness and intro you to the types of workouts he uses before dropping you into the group sessions if thats what you're interested in. He has more personised options but I've stuck to the morning group sessions personally.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Ignite Fitness, a small local gym, for a year, and I'm really pleased with the overall experience. Paul, the owner and trainer, is approachable and knowledgeable, and during training he pays attention to all the small details. Ignite Fitness is the perfect spot for anyone who prefers a more personalised gym experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Paul at Ignite Fitness for a few months and have found him experienced, committed and a motivational coach. He listens,encourages and supports my training objectives. I highly recommend Ignite Fitness. Christine

Fantastic experience: A fantastic, supportive atmosphere with a coach who gets to know you personally and tailor sessions to your need on the day. As someone who struggles to stay motivated with exercise, I have found Ignite to be super supportive and easy to stay motivated and keep going!

Fantastic experience: In late 2023 , I decided to improve my health (weight loss mainly!) and fitness and seeked Paul at Ignite fitness’s help. I have found Paul’s guidance on nutrition and expert knowledge of functional fitness to be instrumental in my journey and have achieved more success in the last 8 months then over a decade of trying to lose Weight by myself . I’m 41 and if you’re coming back to training or trying to improve your health I highly recommend Ignite fitness.

Fantastic experience: Being a woman of a certain age, I came with a lot of baggage from previous terrible personal trainers. But then I met Paul and realized I was in good hands. He is patient and kind and always supportive. He has helped me make good decisions about how to live life because it's a marathon not a sprint. He makes sure I celebrate the wins no matter how big or small. If you'd like to enjoy the rest of your life, then you need to get with Paul to help you achieve those goals. I want to walk the Camino de Santiago when I'm 60 which will be here sooner than I realize. I know that Paul will help me get there.

Fantastic experience: Paul is a fantastic and caring trainer with alot of knowledge. Whether your lifestyle has become sedentary or you are trying to stave off the walking stick. This is the the right place for you. They also have a nutritionist on board, great for us women wanting to look after ourselves better. What I really love is that he listens to what I am telling him and will change the exercises to meet my needs.

Fantastic experience: Every session is centered around how you are feeling on the day sometimes you can be sore in different areas

Fantastic experience: Paul and the team should be very proud of what they have built here - an awesome, supportive community, quality coaching, and a gym that is completely focused on helping their clients achieve their goals!

Positive experience: When you enter the door, the first thing you will hear is greetings by the members. It won't take much time you to feel this community is a !Family-like community! Challenging exercise, encouraging atmosphere! Just so nicely balanced. Coaches exactly point out how you should feel and do while going through the workout. They care your details of workout techniques and other things so that people who walk-in here can gain healthy adn balanced life.

Fantastic experience: I simply love this gym. Paul is a great coach, he always encourages you to do your best and he looks after you. What I like the most is that doing every movement in the right way is what matter the most, not being the one who lifts the highest weight. Every person I have met here is kind, friendly and cheerful. There’s no competition, everyone celebrates your achievements, even the smallest. I highly recommend this gym, joining it is the best decision I have made for myself this year.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Totally grounded, realistic and attuned to me. A totally new model for what a gym should be like - love it! Highly recommend it for anyone starting a health journey or just wanting to focus on their health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Looking for highly motivated & skilled coaches- then look no further! These guys have it all

Fantastic experience: Really cool environment to train in with a variety good equipment. And also a great place to be able to socialize and get a bit of sweat going at the same time

Fantastic experience: I joined CFHV about 10 months ago, and I have loved every minute. A really down to earth gym, with a fabulous community of wonderful people. The coaches are well trained and extremely knowledgeable and able to get the best out of me with neuro and mobility issues. I have become so much stronger and more confident since joining, my general mood and demenour has greatly improved. I never feel like showing up is a chore or something "I have to do" I always look forward to my PT's and always feel encouraged and determined in group class. Whatever is going on for you, I can tell you that you will not look back if you take the plunge and come join. You'll sweat, you'll laugh, but most of all you'll be looked after and guided every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: A great place to work out. The main focus is correct movement and overall health... getting big and strong is a by-product of this!

Fantastic experience: I joined CFHV nearly two years ago and it was the best decision I have made in a long time. I was in a rut especially with looking after my health and losing weight and CFHV have helped me in both those areas as well as many more. I am surrounded by amazing coaches who really care, a great training environment and have made some life long friends who are all striving for the same things. What’s not to love

Fantastic experience: The more I go the more I'm loving CrossFit. I've never felt a sense of community at a gym before and what a difference it makes. Having someone in the group encourage me to carry on running or give me a high five with a "Great work" at the end of a workout has been priceless. I'm basically a non-exerciser so having found somewhere I have confidence I'll achieve results and not injury myself has been wonderful. Fab coaches!!! I highly recommend the Hutt Valley CrossFit
