Fitstop Hamilton Central: Opinions
Negative experience: My experience has been both negative and positive. When I first joined this gym coaches were supportive and are very knowledgeable however I noticed that a few members don't use their towels if on the mats which was a big health and safety for me I attended the gym for a week and it was good but I got really sick afterwards I never get sick but after a week here I got sick I think coaches need to encourage their members to use their towels more. Because I got sick I stayed away from the gym and had put my membership on a pause till I return but while it was in a pause my membership renewed from 50% to full price and they charged me in full and said it was a system error expect me to just be okay with that eventhough it was a system error which they do not seem to care or rectify. Its very dissapointing then i decided and requested to cancel my 12 month membership after only attending less then 2 weeks o think i had only done 4 maybe 5 classes then getting sick and expected to pay 50 month contract which is $1300 as my job has now put me out of hamilton I think there should be some kind of leniency when things like this happen please do not sign up for long term then decide to cancel cause they will make you pay hundreds just to cancel. I regret signing up at all and it's my fault I signed up in the first place but I don't think it's very fair they charge you so much just to cancel when you have only just started and charge you while your membership is on hold
Fantastic experience: such a uplifting and engaging community! darrin & the PT team always supporting you to learn proper technique & hit pbs. would recommend for individuals of any age & ability
Fantastic experience: Great programming with more strength training than other functional fitness gyms. Caters to all and has smaller class sizes, making it easy to get a spot.
Thanks Bec ☺️ hanging out to hear from you!
Fantastic experience: Great owner, great trainers, great gym, and great community! Want to get results, make new friends and have a boogie while doing it? Then Fitstop Hamilton Central is the place for you! Real people rather than screens showing you what to do. Can’t recommend Darrin’s Fitstop enough ✨ Give Fitstop a go and you’ll be hooked!
Aww thanks Pretzel we love to have you as part of our community mate

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great programming, heaps of variety and a great community. The team have supported me really well through my injury challenges, allowing me to take the time to recover and then ease back into training when the time is right.
Milly - you’re a machine mate, can’t wait to have you back on board. Proud of you for doing your rehab right the first time - look forward to getting back into it

Fantastic experience: I've been at Fitstop since June last year and love it. I love that I turn up and don't have to think about my workout- it's all sorted with a good balance of strength and cardio. Trainers are fantastic and push you to do your best, a great community of people and very welcoming environment. Best way to start the day
Thanks Sarah!
You’re an absolute athlete mate - consistent hard work, lifting heavy, and tackling Hyrox ♀️
Fantastic experience: Fitstop Hamilton Central is a wonderful place to train at any level! No matter what your personal goal is, you can achieve it there. There is an incredible range of exercises and you can have them subbed for something else if you’re injured (or pregnant)!
Thanks Lindsay
A living legend and founding member of - we love having you in our community, you’ve been amazing training through pregnancy and getting back into it afterwards - absolute machine!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Fitstop for nearly two years and it’s hands down the most consistent I’ve been in a gym situation ever. I love that everything is done for you - you just have to turn up! The encouragement from members helps to overcome any limitations you think you have and when you think ‘I can’t do that!’ you so often surprise yourself! I’d encourage anyone over 50 to not be afraid to give it a go - if I can do it, so can you!
Thanks Lisa! It was awesome seeing you push yourself for your push press PB recently - we love having you in the club :-)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fitstop Hamilton Central for nearly 3 months now and it has been amazing! I first signed up on a 3 week trial to give it a go as I hadn't participated in group functional fitness before and after having the best introduction into their system, I moved into a yearly membership and the process was super easy. The community and coaches have been amazing at pushing yourself to be your best and motivate you to achieve your goals. There is great variety of classes and exercises and they have session times that can suit everyone. I have felt very supported and looking forward to continue my fitness journey with them :) - would highly recommend them!
Gemma you're a star, we love your consistency, attitude and hard work!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience. Starting as a non-gym goer, I’ve become addicted to Fitstop’s functional fitness approach. There’s a huge variety of workouts, all with a strong focus on progression. The trainers know exactly what they’re doing, and the environment strikes the perfect balance between focus and fun. I’ve noticed real gains – improved flexibility, respiratory fitness, strength, and overall wellbeing.
Mate you've made massive progress - we love to see it! Your movement has improved so much you wouldnt recognize yourself! We're incredibly happy to see the improvement in your health - keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I love training at Fitstop Hamilton Central! The team has created such an encouraging and down-to-earth environment — every session is challenging, well thought out, and actually enjoyable. The coaches genuinely care about how you’re tracking, and they’re always there to support you with good technique and a bit of a push when you need it. The workouts are a great mix of strength, cardio, and conditioning, so you never get bored and can see real progress over time. The community vibe is awesome too — everyone’s friendly, welcoming, and it makes turning up that much easier (even on the tough days!). During my back injury recovery, the trainers helped me adapt the session to suit my needs but still push me! Whether you’re just starting out or well into your fitness journey, I couldn’t recommend Fitstop Hamilton Central more. Huge thanks to the whole crew — you’re absolute legends!!
aww thanks Analee! You're awesome, those hang cleans are getting smooth :-)
Fantastic experience: I have been training at Fitstop Hamilton for the last 4 months and it has been so epic. Such an amazing team and community. I have learnt so much from the trainers and other Fitstop goers. Highly recommend training here the vibes are immaculate!
☺️
Fantastic experience: Been doing Fitstop for over a year now . Love it . The team are amazing. Best gym around
Look at where you are now mate! Completed Hyrox, Ultimate Athlete, lifting heavy and getting ready for the next challenge!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fitstop Hamilton Central #70 since they opened. The community is supportive and the vibe is motivating. Working out at Fitstop is a great way to either start your day or de-stress at the end of it. I have always loved the team and the fun that comes along with it. Love my fitsop fam❤️ #stopatnothing #embracethesweat
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fitstop since Feb this year - can say it’s one of the best gyms I have been too. The coaches are amazing, they push you to your full potential, teaches you the correct forms and even changes up the workout if you have an injury. I haven’t felt this strong and fit ever. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Fitstop has been a total game changer for my strength and cardio fitness levels. The instructors are second to none, the programming ensures progress with a strong focus on maintaining technique, and the vibe is always welcoming and positive. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Best gym in town bar none.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this Fitstop since it started and have no intention of leaving. Great Trainers, awesome members/community and varied workouts to keep me interested and motivated. I love it and can’t imagine not starting my morning with my daily workout!
Legend Carl - love having you in the community mate
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great environment! Trainers and members are so welcoming they made me feel comfortable as soon as I stepped foot in the gym. Always a vibe, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The best gym EVER
Fantastic experience: Incredible, supportive gym with great trainers. This is the place to come with all workouts sorted for you each day. A great mix of progressive lifts and cardio based training. In class trainer/s every session to assist with techniques.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Have tried many gyms in my time but this energetic environment is my favourite. Keeping it focused on key fundamental movements with quality techniques. It’s always a fantastic workout!
Thanks Nyssa! you put in a big effort in every session - your cleans are looking awesome - keep it up
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to fitstop for about 2 months now and I’ve seen so much results and improvement in my physical appearance and overall health ! From having two kids I wanted a place that would be comfortable and suitable to start my fitness journey again and this place right here is it !! The trainers are top tier and so welcoming, the classes really push you and your expectations of yourself and I absolutely love it ! Everyone that joins/ has joined will say the same. Great place to start your fitness journey & I won’t look back !
Thanks Lei!! You're an absolute machine :-) Love having you in our community
Fantastic experience: I love Fitstop! I joined the club in May and I have been attending the classes consistently ever since. I had 0 knowledge of weight training when I first started but the trainers made the transition easy & in return I have learnt so much and I have noticed great progress, not just physically but in my overall lifestyle too. The environment and support from fellow Fitstoppers makes the club a comfortable place to workout in. I would recommend Fitstop to everyone :)
Awww Thanks Sarah - you have made some truly awesome progress in the club, I hope you are as proud of yourself as we are of you!
Negative experience: If you sign up to this gym - you had better not think of leaving. Recently, there have been multiple friends of mine who have ended up either cancelling their memberships, or doing the free trial and not continuing on, only to then be contacted by a male manager/trainer and made to feel guilty or harassed. They were made to feel so bad, they don't feel comfortable coming forward to make a complaint. This should be looked at by someone ASAP.
Hi Mark, Could you please contact us with some details here as this doesn’t seem right, as far as we know we haven’t had any problems with members or former members? This is Fitstop Hamilton Central in NZ - there is a Fitstop Hamilton in Brisbane Australia. The club email address is [email protected] We would like to resolve this asap
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love FITSTOP and so happy I made the change to this type of training. All classes are carefully executed with focus on strength, endurance and performance. A welcoming environment, top quality equipment and even better trainers. A massive thank you to the FITSTOP team Darrin, Cam, Holly, Kylie and Carl. You guys rock!
Thanks Laura Keep up the awesome work in the club - you have picked up so much strength in the time you’ve been training with us - we love seeing you smash it out, always with a smile
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Trainers are super friendly and helpful! Great workouts and atmosphere and even great for newbies, they definitely push you and help you achieve your goals! 10/10 recommend!
Not a newbie anymore!! Absolutely crushing it in the gym - love having you as part of our community Grace :-) Have gained so much strength and confidence this year - keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I joined Fitstop when it first opened at the end of January and have loved every minute of my time there so far. The trainers (Darrin, Cam, Holly, and Kylie) are amazing. They push you to push yourself, the whole time encouraging you, and making sure your technique is right, as well as ensuring injuries are protected! The Unstoppable Series Challenge is an extra motivation and I’ve got results that blew my mind. Would highly, highly recommend
One of the most consistent members, Mel you've huge leaps in progress, your movement has improved so dramatically you wouldnt recognise yourself!
Fantastic experience: I love fitstop the trainers are amazing, I’m so glad I joined! Could not recommend it enough. We just finished the unstoppable series and I’ve had some great results can’t wait to continue seeing progress and meeting new people!
This year you have really made some huge progress, you should be super proud of your hard work!! We love having you in our community, absolute star
Fantastic experience: Love Fitstop, joined two months ago after losing motivation at my former gym and wanting to lose some weight and get strong again. In two months I’ve dropped 3% body fat and gained 1.5kg of muscle. I notice my clothes fit better and I am more confident at lifting heavy due to the awesome trainers pushing me every session Everyone is super friendly and the trainers make you feel like part of a family, they are knowledgeable and always cheer you on! I find my self excited to attend each week.
You put this one up awhile ago - still killing it! love seeing you in the gym - those deadlifts this week looked easy, bring on peak week!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym environment with very helpful staff and motivational members. Being able to learn a skill and get fit at the same time really keeps the motivation levels going!
Fantastic experience: First workout today, Darren was friendly and welcoming, Jax was great at instructing and also padwork is on point Thoroughly enjoyed guys Thanks heaps
Thanks Lara! Was great to have you in the club with us today :-) Welcome back to Hamilton/NZ - we hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: This gym is great. The trainers are there to instruct you and you can start a circuit on your own time. The best this is that no one has time to see what you are doing so you don’t feel embarrassed. There is a wide variety of people at this gym which makes it great. Everyone has come together with their own goals and are just their to work on themselves. It’s great!
Thanks Ozzy! it's great having you in the club :-)

Negative experience: They force you to join their club though you don't want after trial day. Also, they say gym is an old fashioned way of training . hellooo..... you can not say other training methods don't work. Everyone is different.
Hello Vaishali, we certainly do not force anyone to join, how could we? - everyone makes up their own mind. You booked a free trial and decided to join as 9Round is much more affordable than the 2 personal training sessions you were paying for each week - over and above your gym membership. You only had one workout with us and decided to leave as your friends / personal trainer convinced you that you needed to train with a body builders split in order to achieve your goals. That simply is not true, and those who have told you so have done you a disservice. You asked to cancel after telling us that you really enjoyed the training here which was surprising, so we inquired why you were leaving and explained the easy process to do so - simply come in and fill out a form. We wish you well training elsewhere
Fantastic experience: I joined 9Round a month ago after searching for more than 6 months for a fitness club that had the right vibe. The trainers are awesome and encourage you to push yourself harder than you think you can. The environment is so supportive and it doesn't feel like you're just a number as they all get to know your name. The workouts change daily and each have their own challenges which keeps it interesting. The format makes it easy for me as I finish work at different days so can turn up whenever suits and timing is no excuse to miss a workout. I'm so glad I found these guys as it's enjoyable going there and I look forward to it each day.
Naww! Thanks Teddy! we love having you at the club - you guys the reason we do what we do :-)
Fantastic experience: 9round in an amazing place to work out. Its way more than just a gym. The trainers make you feel comfortable and motivate you to achieve your best. Great job Kylie, Darrin, Pheng and Journey. I really look forward to come here every day.
Fantastic experience: My first gym/workout group which has me kept interested throughout.. Darrin n his team is fun and motivating to achieve the best possible results for you. Love it..
Fantastic experience: I've been on the fitness journey a long time I've been trained by professional trainers be getting the pains to get the gains is familiar to me I spent a month even at waiuru Army base to lose weight this system that 9round Hamilton is by far the best system I've been In to lose weight 9round literally help save and change my life so I give thanks to them for that I've lost over 30kgs in just under 3 months and I was living homeless eating what was provided with 5 or 20 dollars to live on next to everything else I was challenged with Thank you 9 round Darren,your wife,Jack and pang you are nation changes blessings and healings to you...t...in amongst complete Darkness I met those with the light not knowing who they were they were also family to light my path I am forever Grateful.
Thanks Tyrone :-) see you in the club mate - keep up all your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Staff friendly. Like having your own personal trainer every time you come
Thank you Smurf! see you at your next session
Fantastic experience: 9 Round is a great gym. Each day has a different workout, the trainers are helpful and very friendly, knowing all club members by name. 9 Round is suitable for all fitness levels - I would highly recommend a visit
Thanks Merran :-) see you in the club
Fantastic experience: 9round Hamilton, it's the place you can go to improve yourself in more ways than one. Motivational, Supportive, Fun and Friendly. You are part of a team here, not just a minority. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Fun workout sessions with helpful trainers available always.
:-) thanks Bats!
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym. It is really friendly, very encouraging and caters for all levels of fitness, shapes of bodies and degrees of anxiety with non judgemental support and encouragement. Awesome. I have made so many new friends here.
Fantastic experience: Deserves far more stars than this. I joined at the start of 2018 when a work colleague told me about you guys. It is definately different to what I had done previously and I had never had a personal trainer session. I actually started wanting to train because you guys were there with me every step of the way explaining how to perform each circuit which in the beginning I was clueless about. Having previously had a gym membership I found myself scared to pick up free weights, here at 9Round they encourage me pick up those free weights. 9Round is fun, its challenging, itll make you sweat and you'll have a great time while your doing it. I never leave the place with out having a good laugh with you all!
Fantastic experience: loved and enjoyed it very much
Thanks Katalina :-)
