The Platform Strength & Conditioning Gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great equipment and great advice if needed from the owner. Very friendly vibe and all ranges of fitness work out there. So convenient to city centre and open 24/7! Strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Heavy, much good, very strong. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys sweating, grunting, and contemplating their life choices under a barbell.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym experience. Amazing equipment, amazing manager, amazing community. Want to get in shape? Check. Get better at Olympic lifting? Check. Powerlifting? Check. Strongman? Bodybuilding? Athletic development? Check, check and check. The manager runs amazing learn-to-train programmes too, perfect for anyone looking to start in the gym. There really is something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I’m very glad I made the switch from a mainstream gym to The Platform. As a woman in her 40s, I needed to incorporate resistance training into my routine, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. The 12-week ‘How to Train Programme’ has been invaluable. Graham did an excellent job teaching me proper techniques and explaining the science behind them. The gym itself has a relaxed vibe, and I never find myself waiting to use the equipment I need. My confidence has grown, and I no longer feel intimidated because I know exactly what I need to do (or Graham is happy to help when I don’t).

Fantastic experience: My teen went there to learn proper form & technique without distractions from other peers, supportive members. ️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: PHENOMENAL gym. Was staying at the hotel next door and was grossly overdue for a proper gym to let me lift heavy. Super friendly. Wish I was starting here another day to hit it again tomorrow!

Fantastic experience: Stopped by for a casual pass while visiting friends/family in the area. If I lived here, I'd totally be a member. There is something for everyone and an awesome supportive atmosphere. The facilities really have something for everyone. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back.

Negative experience: Does not even deserve a star Damaged equipment And The owner moans about every little thing

Negative experience: From personal experience I would NOT recommended to anyone . The vibe that the owner gives is just not it . He cancel my membership because of someone I talk to one time, gave him a one star and a bad review on here. he always blindly accuse people especially brown people instead of using his cameras. he's always working trying to fix his damaged equipments and make loud noise around people while they are working out which is very dangerous and a big issue in health and safety.

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Palmerston North - especially if you want access to free weights, power cages etc. I do free weights and this gym has been a no brainer for the last 3+ years. Squats. Check. Deadlift platforms (plural unlike other gyms that have zero) Check. Bench press x 4 Check. Micro weights too which other commercial gyms do not have. **Only recommendations for improvement is for the showers - perhaps having anti slip mats etc like the YMCA since water takes a while to drain and can be very slippery since you need to go through them to the toilets. Changed from CityFitness to here since the equipment is much better + accessible and never looked back. You might do the same

Fantastic experience: Gym owner is great to deal with and cares about getting people strong. Quality equipment for anyone wanting to get strong, strongman, powerlifter, weightlifter, ballet, anyone.

Fantastic experience: Industrial style, no mirrors.. Good place to just go and pick up heavy things and put them back down. Especially if you like hard rock and metal
