Fantastic experience: I now live in Aus, but it’s become a tradition that I do at least a couple of casual sessions at Recreate, whenever I visit home in Christchurch. The programming for classes is excellent and the coaches I’ve met are all top tier - extremely helpful. My brother (who is a member that goes regularly) has been following the coaches advice for a few years now and is now way fitter and stronger than me! I can recommend this place to anyone looking for an environment that will help you, motivate you and challenge you. Lock into a class time, get to know the coaches, and go for it!

Recreate Performance

Thank you for your wonderful review, Chris! We're thrilled that you make it a tradition to visit us every time you're back in Christchurch. It's great to hear that both you and your brother have benefited from our programming and coaching. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you in our classes again!

Fantastic experience: While traveling through Christchurch, my wife and I were struggling to find a CrossFit gym to keep up with our training. We stumbled upon Recreate Performance, and it was a lifesaver! Even though it's not specifically a CrossFit box, it had all the equipment and the right atmosphere for a challenging and effective workout. We were really impressed and would definitely recommend it to other fitness travelers.

Fantastic experience: After going to a few gyms previously I have been at Recreate for 2 months and am loving the culture! Great coaching feedback during classes, amazing people and great energy for a good workout. Highly recommend for any level!

Jonathan Pedersen Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with the team at RP for almost two years now, and I’m ashamed it’s taken me this long to share how awesome it is. Like any gym they have the gear to get the job done, the classes are next level but still cater to beginners. But the thing that really makes it enjoyable is the people, the culture at RP is one of a kind. There are no egos and all the staff and other members want is for you to be the person you turn up and train hard to be. So supportive and encouraging. I have also made great friends here too.

Melanie Vannoort Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t fault these guys! The trainers are such decent people who make the experience really enjoyable. But most importantly they focus on helping you learn and maintain proper technique, whether you’re doing a class or just there for your own workout. Absolutely loving it!

Olivia Donaldson Published on Google 4 years ago
