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: I've been at Fitstop since June last year and love it.

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

Lisa Bishop 6 months ago

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!

Fitstop Hamilton Central

Thanks Lisa! It was awesome seeing you push yourself for your push press PB recently - we love having you in the club :-)

Gemma Metcalfe 6 months ago

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!

Fitstop Hamilton Central

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.

Fitstop Hamilton Central

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!

Analee Sherratt 6 months ago

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!!

Fitstop Hamilton Central

aww thanks Analee! You're awesome, those hang cleans are getting smooth :-)

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.

Sarah Tops 2 years ago

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 :)

Fitstop Hamilton Central

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!

Mark Hall 3 years ago

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.

Fitstop Hamilton Central

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

Laura Watson 3 years ago

Melissa Jones 3 years ago

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

Kelly Lloyd 3 years ago

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.

Vaishali Vir 6 years ago

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.

Fitstop Hamilton Central

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

Kate 6 years ago

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.

Fitstop Hamilton Central

Naww! Thanks Teddy! we love having you at the club - you guys the reason we do what we do :-)

Craig Hughes 6 years ago

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.

Fiona Hutchins 6 years ago

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!
