Koha Fitness and Health Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym and location. Nice and clean and everyone is friendly.
Fantastic experience: Recently joined Koha Fitness after belonging to other fitness clubs around the City. I am really enjoying the feel and friendliness of this club. No arrogance or pretentiousness as others can portray. The facilities are great, clean and modern. Great schedules for classes and access to other services within the Club is handy!
Hi Lucy, thank you very much for your kind review. Amazing to have you in our community!!! Nga mihi from the Koha Team.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time at Koha Fitness and Health Club! The day pass for 25 NZD is a great deal, especially for the quality you get. I’m currently traveling, so finding a well-equipped and super clean gym like this while on the road is amazing. The staff was very friendly and showed me around. The bathrooms, showers, and toilets were spotless. Perfect gym for anyone passing through Christchurch!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym - great location, equipment & team. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, lots of great equipment and overall a wonderful atmosphere.
Thank you very much Leah! happy to have you in our community :-)
Fantastic experience: It has been great joining Koha and getting back into a gym. The parking, towels service and class availability has made it easy to form a routine after a long time away. Highly recommend.
Thanks Peter! Happy to have you as part of our fitness community :-D
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Koha Fitness for a month now. I am truly enjoying my fitness journey here. What differentiates Koha Fitness from other gyms in the city is their attentiveness and connectivity with individual members. There are plenty of classes available as per individual interests three times a day. Everyone from reception, instructors and cleaning staff is friendly and are happy to answer your questions. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in fitness in a non-challenging and caring environment should try this place.
Fantastic experience: I joined Koha in May after having a less positive experience at another central city gym, and it’s been fantastic. They have a variety of machines, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it’s a really pleasant environment to exercise in, especially with the view of the river from the windows! The personal communication has been fantastic, and Nicky has been really lovely through my process of signing up and having my initial facility tour! I’d have no hesitation in recommending Koha to anyone considering it!
Fantastic experience: I received great support with fantastic knowledge on achieving fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: Committed staff, clean state of the art facilities and people like me (cis-male, white, boomer). And free towels
Fantastic experience: Wow!! What a great gym one of the cleanest around Quality equipment throughout Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I joined this gym for several months whilst living in Christchurch and Nicky created the most welcoming and supportive environment for newcomers. The gym itself is a full-service, boutique gym with high end top of the line equipment. It is spotlessly clean, everyone is courteous and respectful and it's a safe, non judgmental space to work on your fitness goals and overall health. I was sad to leave this gym, and strongly encourage anyone thinking of joining to give it a try! You wont regret it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym - equipment, classes and instructors. The physio, Chris, is also highly recommended as needed. I couldn't recommend this gym more.
Fantastic experience: What a great gym. It has the equipment quality of those private-training facilities but in a much larger space. Super impressive. I spoke to Nicky, who told me about their history. Nicky if you're reading this, reminder: LCV, CAC, and giant figures on the windows! :)
Fantastic experience: Signed up to Koha about a month ago after attending a handful of spin classes. I’ve found Koha to be such an amazing place not just an amazing gym but also a place with great facilities! There is a wide range of classes available on at different times throughout the week. There is also a physio and massage therapist on site! It has been nice and quiet each time i’ve been no waiting around for equipment ect… A very very clean space. All the staff have been extra friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this fitness centre to everyone!!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and staff! The facility and equipment are kept well, the change rooms spacious and always clean, and the team are incredibly helpful and friendly. Absolutely love this place ❤️
Fantastic experience: A great place to train. The staff are all really helpful and it's rare that you need to wait for equipment to be available to continue your workout. I recommend checking it out.
Thanks so much :-)

Thanks :-)
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! I've been going here since 2019 and have found the people there to be so welcoming. A full service gym with great equipment, heaps of classes including HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, an awesome spin class set up and quite a few other's. I highly recommend Koha to anyone!
Thanks :-)
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderfully relaxed and hospitable vibe, with a smiley crew. I really enjoy just being in the space, it makes working-out far more appealing!
thanks :-)

Fantastic experience: Koha is not just gym but also an awesome whānau! Amazing classes, friendly as staff and a real sense of community including member nights, team events and fundraising for great causes. 10/10 would recommend :)

Negative experience: General tidiness of this gym is not great
Hi Tony, we are sorry that you experienced this. We do pride ourselves in creating a safe, tidy area for you to enjoy. We have tried communicating with you but you have not heard from you. Please get in contact as we would love to reconcile this and get some more feedback off you to prevent this in the future.
Fantastic experience: Lovely trainers and atmosphere. A wide range of classes to pick from.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, top-notch equipment, benefit of physio, massage and cryotherapy on site. High quality, diverse range of group classes throughout the day and week. Conveniently located, great aesthetics, superb atmosphere. Friendly, professional and encouraging staff. Active Facebook group, interesting (and well attended) social events. Friendly and supportive members. Upbeat and never crowded, always well-kept and spotless, open 24 hours and very welcoming, this is a gym for everyone.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Christchurch! State of the art equipment and the staff are all lovely as well!
We love having you and Collean train with us, such an awesome family!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, brilliant trainers
Thanks Richard, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Review on behalf of Paula G-J: Koha allowed me to achieve and exceed my personal goals for this year. Thank You to the entire Koha team.
Great to see you going from strength to strength Paula. We love having you here at Koha Fitness. You inspire us all!!
Fantastic experience: Koha is the number 1 gym in Christchurch. I have never been to a gym with the amount of variety this place has. So many classes to choose from you are spoilt for choice and honestly the most amazing, knowledgeable and helpful staff. I never dread going to the gym here, I look forward to finishing work to go and watch Netflix on the treadmill while I wait for my hard out class to start. My favourite thing is the body scanner machine which you can do at anytime to make sure you are meeting your goals. There is no other gym like it.
Wow thank you Anna! So glad to have you in our Koha whānau. You are always challenging yourself and smashing every class. You and Chris are awesome!
Fantastic experience: If there was a 6-star rating, Koha would get it. This is no ordinary gym. On top of their amazing facilities and top location, they are a group of highly professional, incredibly trained trainers/instructors/physios that REALLY care. As someone scared off easily, I felt equally as welcome and well supported (without that 'being watched' feel!) as my partner who is an exercise junkie and much more confident in a gym setting. The Koha family is a special one. This is the place you want to train!
Wow thank you so much Amy! See you back here soon :)
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Koha Fitness Gym! Leo and I train there to keep our body in shape, it is part of our training regimen as dancer instructors and owners of Brazilian Beatz Dance Academy to have a healthy lifestyle. Every time we come to Koha or someone we knows goes they always rave to us afterwards how incredible the equipment and facilities are! Personally my favourite is the fact that it's like going home because everyone is like family treating you so well and welcoming you every time you go there. Thanks Koha Fitness and Health Club Keep it Up!
You two are amazing! Thank you so much for this kind review, we are so lucky to have you guys as part of our whānau!
Fantastic experience: This is not just a gym but a complete wellbeing centre. Great staff, great environment.
Thank you Ian! Great to have you be a part of the club.
Fantastic experience: I didn't got to the gym but to this other lady instead witch is just of off the gym and has help me and the rest of my family with injury's in the past cryo2you is her facebook page

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service
Fantastic experience: Very nice place to visit
Thank you Deo! So good to hear.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service
Thank you for your awesome review, it is very much loved and appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Koha has fantastic equipment, it's all very new and flash but still has a whanau atmosphere and the staff really look after you! While it's a premium price point gym, the amount of classes included with your membership add up to being cheaper than most gyms in my opinion! You're going love Koha. See you there!
Thanks Morgan, we're glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed using the brand new gym equipment. Very clean and love the HIIT classes!
Positive experience: Good place to go.
Thank you Cherie, we think so too :-)
Fantastic experience: Just had my first session with "The Badger" Loved it !!! I won't say it was easy otherwise he will put up my weights.
Thanks for your kind review Jo!We won't tell the Badger you want more weights ;)
Fantastic experience: Great staff and facilities! Enjoy the classes here
Fantastic experience: As a totally unfit, overweight person with very high blood pressure I was looking for a gym that would motivate me but not be full of "gym bunnies". Koha looks after you really well and assigns you a trainer and 2 free training sessions. The equipment is all new and everything links to an app on your smartphone. The changing rooms & showers look like you would find in a 4 star hotel. In the interests of full disclosure I am friends with the owner but I'm paying a membership like everyone else and not receiving anything for this review
Thank you John. You're a 5-star member of the Koha family!
Fantastic experience: Koha is literally the best gym in the world. The facilities are great - they have a great variety of high end equipment and can support any sort of training goal. The classes they put on are superb, from pilates through to hard spin classes in their spin dungeon. The facilities are always impeccably clean and all the equipment is beautifully maintained. But all of that should just be a given in a gym. What sets Koha apart are the staff and the community that use the gym. My fiancee and I were only in Christchurch for several months. We happened on the gym by chance (it was near where we lived) so we popped in. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed. Every member of staff was both incredibly friendly but also genuine. There was no sense of us as 'customers' who needed the hard sell; we were fellow people who enjoyed exercise. That ethos continued once we had joined. Within days, pretty much every staff member had taken the trouble to learn our names. Every time we joined a new class, we were welcomed in; never feeling judged when we inevitably couldn't keep up with the regulars. Now some might say that that ethos and friendliness should be a given in any gym. Fair enough. But that's not even the half of it with Koha. We ended up in a situation where we suddenly cancelled our membership because we were trying to get back to the UK due to the Covid pandemic. Our flight then gets cancelled the day before NZ went into Level 4 lockdown. So we called Koha and you know what they did? They let us come and borrow equipment from the gym (including a spin bike) to exercise with from home. We were not the only ones; the whole gym was emptied with loans to members. Not only that, but when we did finally get a flight out (during the middle of lockdown), Chris came and collected the equipment from our house and even offered to collect us from the airport if our flight got cancelled. This, for two random Poms who had only been members for 3 months. In short, you will not find a better gym. In Christchurch or anywhere else. Yes, you could probably pay less elsewhere but you will get less. It doesn't matter what your goals are, Koha will help to get you there. Join.This.GYM
Hi AlfieThank you so much for your awesome review of Koha. We really loved having you part of our Koha family, albeit just a short time. If you ever come back to Christchurch then please come back to us.We hope you are safe and well. Take care!
Fantastic experience: Great place. I enjoyed it!
Yeah, we like it too :-)
Fantastic experience: I am working in the city for a week and I would suggest to anyone visiting or locally to go to this gym with its new state of the art equipment. It is a very clean well managed gym which offers a range of different work out classes, equipment and training areas. Staff were incredibly informative and friendly would highley recommend.
Thank you Darren, you're welcome back any time!
Fantastic experience: Best boutique gym in Christchurch
Thank you Matthew! We work hard at it!
Fantastic experience: What a great place to train, staff are extremely helpful and friendly. This gym has all the latest equipment and opportunities to not only strength train but lots of other classes on offer to suit your goals. Having been to a heap of gyms over the last 30 yrs and experiencing what they have to offer this gym/fitness hub is Totally recommended by me...thumbs up!!
Thanks Hamish. That's high praise coming from a pro gym-goer like you! It's been great having you around.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility.
Thank you Carly. We have striven to make it a cool place to hang out - your third space, between home and work!
Positive experience: New gym opened in 2018 located right opposite oxford terrace with the view of Avon river. More expensive than lesmills and no corporate deals and no lunch classes specific for corporate. They offer classes, virtual classes, gym facilities and personal trainer at extra costs. No parking available.
Thank you for taking time to give us a review. We do have corporate deals, but apologize we didn't make that easier to find. Please check back any time if you'd like to learn about options!
Fantastic experience: Amazing technology and simply fantastic equipment and classes. Offer indoor cycle classes, HIIT classes as well as group fitness and a towel service wow!
Fantastic experience: Great set up and plenty of fitness programes.
Yes, and we keep adding more. We just can't help it!
Fantastic experience: Very well maintained gym with new activities every other week. Tribe gyming was the latest i witnessed and it was awesome concept. Very helpful and skilled support staff. I will keep coming very time i visit Christchurch and would recommend everyone around this place especially the CBD folks. Keep up the good work Koha fitness team.
Thank you Sujo. We're working hard to keep the heart of the CBD beating. And if you liked Tribe, wait til you try HIIT!
Fantastic experience: Great new gym aimed at the Corporate sector but anyone can join state of the art equipment with new interesting group classes, highly recommend this gym the only one in NZ.
Thank you Shane, we're pretty proud of it too :-)
