Fantastic experience: STM fit is by far the best gym I've ever trained at. I gained more result during one year than I could ever hope for. Super friendly asthmosphere with awesome trainers. The training classes are just fun, I enjoyed every minute of it! Can recommend STM fit with Richard and the other trainers if you want to see real result while having fun training and being supported every step of the way. Would give you 10 stars but there's only 5 so that will have to do.... Thank you guys! ☺️

STM FiT (Avalon)

Ann-Catherine thanks for the review. And well done! Very consistent training, and well earned results. :)

Debbie Kelly 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Joined STM FiT with great expectations and was not disappointed. We have a fantastic coach in Richard who is very experienced and knowledgeable. Easy to follow instructions and good to know we are held accountable for putting in the effort in the gym. If you need structured coaching tailored to improve your fitness and overall well being this is a good place to be.

STM FiT (Avalon)

Thanks Debbie. What a great start to training (easy to see some really good improvements already). Happy holidays!
Really looking forward to some great things in 2025.

Olivia Hampton 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Such a good gym with a good atmosphere, good members and good equipment! The classes are so fun and the trainers always change things up to keep it interesting and they push you as hard as you can go! When I signed up I didn’t realise it was a family friendly gym but as a mum I really appreciate being able to bring my 3 year old along to classes too - which she absolutely enjoys taking part of as well! I was at another gym for 2.5 months before joining stm fit and I wish I had of found it earlier, Richard and the team are AMAZING!

STM FiT (Avalon)

Thanks Olivia! Stoked to have you training with us:

Millie Riwai 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have only just started my health and fitness journey here and Richard and his team have made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. The classes are amazing with awesome coaches. The gym members are super fun! The body scan was the game changer for me. Having those stats has made me want this for myself even more. The whānau approach is also why I chose to be in this space as it allows my daughters to be apart of this journey. I will be recommending Rich and his team to my friends and family. 10/10 ❤️

STM FiT (Avalon)

Thanks Millie. Absolutely love the start you have made. Looking forward to seeing what you can achieve. See you gym side soon. : )

Negative experience: SCAM! Avoid this place at all costs, Owner promotes a 8 week challenge but really gets you to commit to a full fixed term membership Really short term cooling period and admin is outsourced overseas Best to go to a gym that offers more flexible payment options

andrew graham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great facility and team. I found myself unexpectedly in Hamilton and Richard and the team here were so kind and helpful.

Jose Díaz 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have learnt more at STM FiT than anywhere before (15 years in gyms). The people 100% make the place. I feel silly for going to other places, waiting on equipment, or not knowing what to do. Members make you feel welcome. And coaches help with everything else.

Jemima Kabwea 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Coach Mo for two months and it's been a life-changing experience. Working out and learning new technique has been a lot of fun for me. Our sessions have been enjoyable, and they have benefited both my mental health and my way of living. STM is perfect for anyone who is just getting started with fitness because it is a private gym with no one around to make you feel insecure. :)

Thanks for the review Jemima.Love the progress you are making so far.:)And 100% agree the personal training plus private gym option can be the best place to get started.

Isaac Perenise 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Arrived to STM Fit not feeling the best. Gym life was stagnant and monotonous. I gave myself a week to see how it went and that was May 2021. Now I'm enjoying fit life again as STM Fit is a place where all people feel welcomed and cared for. The gym and coaches have been nothing but amazing. Not only do they care about your fitness, they also invest in you as a person! Nothing but love for this awesome gym

STM FiT (Avalon)

A big thanks from the STM Family. Love the progress you've made, and that your part of our training team .

Mark H 3 years ago

Negative experience: Overpriced and old outdated equipment.

STM FiT (Avalon)

Hey Mark,

Wishing you a speedy recovery from your pre-existing health conditions. It is a real shame that you were only able to train with us for a very short period at the start of 2022. Thanks for letting us know training wise that it was the most welcomed you have ever felt in a gym, and that you missed not being able to join in on the classes.

A bit odd to get a review like this 6-months later on. In short medical clearance can be required for gym training - particularly with high risk health concerns / doctors concerns.

Your doctor has you on the right path with this, and with a bit of patience you will be able to get there. Hang in there.

If you wish to chat through anything further you have our direct line to call.

All the best.

STM Fit Avalon has a great community with welcoming trainers and members alike, it’s a supportive culture that fosters the best in everyone. The trainers are amazing, they teach and challenge you to achieve more than you thought you could possibility achieve in a caring and personal way.
