We all have a story and we all have the potential to be an inspiration not only to others but ourselves too. So step up, one step at a time, believe in yourself and what is possible for you.
At our Christchurch gym we have 4 memberships catering for all fitness levels, abilities and training experience. They are ideal for those who are self motivated or have a pre-determined goal in mind. Whether it is to tone up, drop a few clothing sizes (or increase your clothing size), train for an event or off season and pre-season training for your specific sport, Fitness Canterbury is the place for you.
Our belief is that a healthy lifestyle is within the grasp of everyone – including you! If you want to make it happen we are here to guide you forward. Our culture and dedication is as much about seeing you have fun and feeling comfortable in your environment as it is about achieving results. In the right space, with the right advice, the changes you desire will come, and you may just inspire others along the way.
At the core of what makes Fitness Canterbury New Beginnings great, is our belief that a healthy lifestyle is within the grasp of everyone, including you.
We believe in the power of exercise to rejuvenate your life. We have worked alongside people determined to turn their life around, improve their health, shed weight, gain muscle, improve definition, increase their overall fitness, and we have seen the smiles as their success in the gym has kick started success in their work and personal lives.
Whether you are just getting started with exercise, are an elite athlete, 15 years old or 65 years old, your body can enjoy the many benefits of Pilates. Our clinicians are trained in clinical Pilates, and combining that with our physiotherapy skills we can adapt and facilitate movements so you get the most out of each class.
Our fitness classes are high in energy, a great way to stay inspired, with members feeding off each other and pushing themselves well beyond what they believed they were capable of. We offer a range of gym classes to suit all fitness levels.
“Solid layout and great equipment that makes the place feel a lot better to others in Chch. Plenty of trainers or nutritionists you can book an appointment with and they’ll happily take on feedback if it’d help make the gym even better. Now that it’s a 24/7 gym there’s no reason not to make FC your regular.”
“Awesome place! Fantastic staff and plenty of variety in regard to the equipment. 24-hour access. Super friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful in any way they can. Clean and tidy.”
Do you know some of our longest serving members have been with us for over 30 years. Fitness Canterbury’s long history dates back to around 1990 when it was known as ‘Better Bodies’. It was in another building just over the road from where we are now. Its current owners were members from 1992 onwards. It has been in this current building since 1997. It was renamed ‘Fitness Canterbury’ from ‘Acropolis’ in 2005. It’s current owners Kent Gibson and Scott Mazey have been the longest owners in its history when they purchased it in June 2009.
During the weekdays our busiest times are between 6am – 8am and from 5pm until 7pm. That being said we are a big gym with plenty of equipment so would be very rear to have to wait for anything during our bsuy times.
While we don’t offer a large timetable of classes after much trial and error and feedback from members about what they would like we do run two incredibly effective classes. Boxing and Spin Classes. For more details and the timetable please see our ‘Classes’ section of the website.
If you are wanting to join up now, you can signup online on our membership page, otherwise you are welcome to come in to see one of our friendly reception staff who can do it on the spot.
If you join on any of our 12 month memberships there is no joining fee. If you join on one of our M2M membership where you can cancel at anytime there are joining fees ranging from $50 to $90.
This depends on what membership you have. Our main memberships are direct debit through Debit Success. They are affiliated with many gyms around New Zealand. If you are going away on business or vacation we can organise a FIT PASS that you can take to any gym in NZ, affiliated with Debit Success that is outside of Christchurch. This will allow you to use there facility. There is a link to all affiliated gyms on our ‘Membership Page’
We do allow members under 15 under special circumstances, but they must be accompanied by one of our Personal Trainers each time. Personal trainer fees will apply.
