Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Taurus! Was so nervous to walk through the doors the first few times as a beginner to this type of exercise, but every class is fun (but haaaaaard!!). Everyone is super friendly and encouraging, have definitely found my place!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and good vibes!

Fantastic experience: With having some time away from fitness i had a lot of nerves re joining a gym but Saskia and the rest of the Taurus team including its members have made it so easy to get stuck back in!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend trying out Team Taurus!! The hardest part is walking through the door for the first time – from there you will likely be hooked for life, basing all future planning around class times and distance to the gym. The trainers have unmatched technical knowledge always ready to help and encourage you. Some say Mr Miyagi was trained by Team Taurus…

Fantastic experience: I love Taurus! I honestly can’t fault my decision to join – not just for the amazing gym, but also for the fantastic community. After taking some time off and trying out different training styles and group fitness over the years, I was struggling to find the motivation to get back into it. CrossFit always seemed intimidating and out of reach. But the coaches and members at Taurus are really supportive and welcoming. The workouts are tough , but they always offer chances to learn, and the coaches are great at scaling exercises while helping you continuously improve. I’m excited to keep training and increasing my fitness

Fantastic experience: Had a very good experience with the Taurus crew, from initial phone call to the coach. Was throughly enjoyable. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: 10/10 experience here. Absolutely enjoyed the environment and would recommend to anyone. The coaches are very insightful and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I traveled from out of town for an event in Palmerston North over Waitangi weekend and was recommended Taurus Fitness. I felt very welcomed! The programming caters to all fitness levels, the equipment is well maintained, and I wouldn’t hesitate to train here again. I’ll be recommending this gym to anyone looking for a CrossFit gym in Palmerston North.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, friendly people, good work out. Good equipment and nice and clean. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I'm from Auckland and did a drop-in class at Team Taurus today. Absolutely loved it! Coach Caton was so engaged and attentive and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. The workout itself was so fun but also challenging - exactly what you want. If I lived in Palmerston North, Team Taurus is the gym I'd go to! Definitely will be returning next time in town!

Fantastic experience: I joined taurus to try out a different style of training and become apart of a community and couldn’t be more happy with my decision. The coaches and members are all so welcoming and supportive which really benefits each workout and pushes me beyond my abilities from when i was training on my own. Each class is scaled to my abilities and i’m never pushed to do something i am uncomfortable doing as there is always a regression in place. I can already tell my trainings and technique is improving with the little time i have been at taurus as each coach takes the time to talk me through every movement and share their tip and tricks to further benefit my trainings. Excited to see where i progress too while training at taurus !!

Fantastic experience: i love Taurus! as someone who knew nothing about crossfit, the coaches and team have made me feel so welcome and helped me find my feet. I always leave in a better mood than I did walking in

Fantastic experience: Joining Taurus was hands down the best thing I did last year. The welcoming, supportive team atmosphere and the approachable coaches who time to help everyone in the class make a huge difference when diving into something new like CrossFit. Plus the expansive & well-equipped space is very cool too!

Fantastic experience: While training at Taurus I have improved a lot in my strength and conditioning and all I have to do is turn up each day, follow the program on the board and work hard! I like Taurus because it is a sociable environment with a good community and has helped me come out of my shell a lot more!

Fantastic experience: Team Taurus. What can I say. I cannot fault this gym. The coaches expertise and dedication to ensuring everyone nails the technique, the workouts, the community, the vibe, it’s all there. Personally I’d never been a fan of CrossFit. It was completely out of my comfort zone so I found it intimidating. I was nervous af on my first day. Now I can’t stay away . It’s such a good vibe there. It’s always the people that make it enjoyable. If anything that’s what keeps me going. You’re always encouraged and pushed to do your best. I’ve honestly surprised myself with what I’ve achieved so far. I can’t recommend Team Taurus enough. Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to come along to Taurus as I thought you needed to be at a certain level. However I jumped out of the comfort zone and it was so worth it. The coaches have been so helpful and regardless of your level, they ensure each individual is progressing. The community is so supportive of each other and personal achievements. Watching everyone achieve their personal bests is epic.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Environment, Community, and Programming! CrossFit Taurus is the perfect blend of a welcoming environment, supportive community, and top-notch programming. The coaches are knowledgeable and tailor workouts for all fitness levels, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned athletes alike. The sense of camaraderie here is unmatched, and the programming keeps workouts challenging, varied, and fun. Highly recommend!

I’ve accomplished things I never thought possible, thanks to the thoughtful programming and outstanding coaching. A huge thank you to Gilly and Caton for creating such an incredible space! Their passion for the sport and genuine care for each member make all the difference.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, even better trainers! Highlight of my day every day ❤️

Fantastic experience: The environment at Taurus is unmatched! All members & coaches want to see each individual succeed whilst enjoy the journey! I began having never stepped foot in a CrossFit gym and felt included and valued straight away as well as constantly learning which all levels at Taurus are catered for exceptionally well! With moving locations soon it’s definitely going to be hard to find a gym that is the same as Taurus….will be the thing I will miss most in Palmerston North!

Fantastic experience: I have loved every minute at Taurus, coming from no CrossFit background everyone was so welcoming and encouraging and the coaching was phenomenal, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The programming at Taurus is what initially attracted me to the gym, and what has kept me around. There is a high level of planning and structure for each block. Both the coaches and members contribute to a fun learning environment. The banter within class is my favourite part, the community in the gym makes you want to go back everyday.

Fantastic experience: As a newbie in CrossFit (and in the country) training at Taurus is the best gym experience I’ve ever had! The programs are top-notch, massive venue with wide range of equipment and exercises to suit all fitness levels. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help you improve. What i love the most is the community. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcome and supported. The coaches and members are all super friendly and encouraging, making it easy for newbies like me to feel at home. The programs are designed to help you reach your fitness goals, whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete. The coaches will work with you to create a personalized plan that suits your needs and goals. Overall, I highly recommend Team Taurus to anyone looking for a supportive, motivating, and fun fitness community. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: After my Husband talked me into coming to a class with him I never looked back . . . Taurus exceeds any previous class based gyms I have ever been to. The coaching there is exceptional. Not only do they encourage and push you, they give you individual pointers to help you progress in movements - they are genuinely invested in your progress and are there to cheer you along. The programming pushes you while allowing scaled options for a range fitness/strength capabilities. The best part about Taurus is its community! I go to the gym for the friendly banter, the supportive environment, and the vibes 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was really nervous at first because crossfit always seemed too hardout for me. But the team at Taurus made me feel comfortable straight away and at the same time pushed me to realise that I was way stronger than I thought! I love that I can scale everything that I am working towards doing one day. And the vibe is always awnnnn!

Fantastic experience: My first class at Taurus CrossFit, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations in many ways. As a CrossFit newbie, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the experience turned out to be both challenging and rewarding. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of community. The coaches and members were super friendly and supportive, making me feel comfortable even though I was a complete beginner. The gym fosters a positive and inclusive environment, which is one of the things I appreciate most. The coaches at Taurus CrossFit were amazing. They took the time to explain each movement in detail, offering modifications where needed. As someone who’s still learning their attention to form and technique made me feel more confident and safe during the workout. I felt welcomed, challenged, and supported every step of the way. The coaches were knowledgeable and attentive, and the workouts pushed me just enough to leave me feeling accomplished but not defeated. I’m looking forward to continuing to improve my fitness in such a positive and motivating environment Team Taurus

Fantastic experience: The level of programming and coaching at Taurus is elite - it’s well suited to all levels of fitness. Training blocks are well thought out, structured and detailed. It’s normally the highlight of my day. The perfect mix of serious training and fun times with good people.

Fantastic experience: It doesn’t matter where you start from, Taurus will take you to the next level. You couldn’t ask for better camaraderie between the members, the experience each coach brings to the table and the challenge of each workout. I’ve been attending for a couple months and already feeling fitter/ stronger which is paying off hugely at work and general life. Give it a go, not many things will build your fitness faster

Fantastic experience: Grateful to have found such an uplifting community. Taurus Fitness provides a fun and challenging environment which has become highly addictive ✨

Fantastic experience: I joined TeamTaurus in late 2023 after a friend recommended it, and I’m glad I did. As someone new to functional fitness, I was immediately welcomed not only by the coaches but also by the supportive gym community. I love how each class is unique, and thanks to the excellent scaling options, everyone can work out together no matter your ability. This gives you soo much motivation when your are next to some of the elite athletes. The quality of coaching is exceptional. It feels like having a personal trainer in every class, with the coaches providing detailed guidance and demonstrating a level of expertise that would be hard to find elsewhere. They genuinely care and are invested in your progress, tailoring their support to your individual needs in each and every class. Since joining, I’ve made significant progress but continue to be challenged and pushed to improve everyday. The sense of community at Taurus is unmatched—it's like a second family. The support and encouragement from everyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey, is truly something special. I have made soo many great friends who inspire me everyday from all walks of life. I genuinely couldn't recommend it enough whether your just looking for somewhere to have fun and stay active, or you have aspirations of being a top athlete - Taurus is where its at!

Fantastic experience: Incredible space with amazing people that push you to the absolute limit!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new gym to take my training the next step. After taking a trial at taurus, i found it to be a great fit for this. The trainers are all highly experienced, welcoming and accommodating to all members in classes. They offer guidance to those new to the gym, with adaptations to movements to suit abilities, while also offering experience to help those who are more competent and experienced already. These things combined make it a great place for those of all fitness levels to come, learn new things and have fun with those around you at the same time. The vibes, people, and community here create an environment that is truely unmatched to help reach any of your fitness goals, or just a fun place to do some fitness.

Fantastic experience: We Drop In for the Open 24.1 Workout. A really cool gym and a welcoming and really nice community. It's a shame we're here to travel. Can recommend it if you want to train here reguarly. Maybe we even come again if we return to NZ one day.

Fantastic experience: Taurus has a super friendly environment and really knowledgeable trainers. There is a real community vibe which you definitely don’t get from all gyms. If you’re thinking about a trail, I would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Love the supportive community and all the ladies are extremely inviting. My highlight each week!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, great crew, cool vibes. If you’re not here you are missing out.

Fantastic experience: I needed something to hold me accountable to the goals I’d set myself, basically I wanted to be fitter and didn’t like what I was currently doing. Now been at Taurus for two years and love the vibe, plus the fitness gains hahah.

Fantastic experience: Got sick of training on my own and thought I’d try something different. Now 4years later I have still not had a bad time ant Taurus and consistently train 3-4 days a week.

Fantastic experience: Started at Taurus after checking out their FB page (looked pretty cool), been a member for 6 months. Love the community.

Fantastic experience: Like the vibe, the people, the high quality of coaching, the banter and the rig. My favourite class is TeamTraining on Saturday.

Fantastic experience: I started at Taurus after being sick of training by myself at City. I loved the team environment, it made it feel very welcoming. Now been a member for 4 months, don’t be scared, I was, but it’s now one of my favourite places to chill (oh and do some fitness).

Fantastic experience: I dropped into Taurus Fitness today (2nd time this summer), while in town for several days visiting my family. This is a great Crossfit gym with super friendly staff and locals giving the box a cool vibe. I found the coaching staff to provide solid WOD's with equally good coaching tips and standards. This box has great air-flow from a treble garage door opening up an entire side of the building. I would recommend anyone either visiting Palmy from out of town or wanting to start their CrossFit journey to look up Taurus Fitness. Thanks Gilli and Alyssa, I'll be back

Fantastic experience: Not very often are you able to come across a place that genuinely cares about your progress and wellbeing! Being involved with the team and community of Taurus has made not only myself but everyone around me to really strive to become the best version of myself. Heart in hand this place is the best in the business !!

Fantastic experience: My five words that describe Taurus… Fun, energy, love-lifting, social, happy place. I was a member for 2 years and wanted to get into the coaching side of things so jumped on the intern program and have now been a Trainer for almost two years. If you are thinking about giving it a go, ask for a free week haha. But for real, just come along, it’s that easy. The people are lovely, vibes are on always and it’s top tier. All it takes is that first step

Fantastic experience: Wanted to be in an environment with like minded people, ideally a place where people like weights, cardio and body weight fitness and found all of that and more at Taurus. Now been a member for just over two years and love it. I think once you give it a try you will never look back, it’s a whole packaged deal.

Fantastic experience: Needed a CrossFit gym to train at, a friend of mine recommended trying Taurus. Almost 18months later still here, love the competitive spirit and community. The coaching is well worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: A friend bullied me into trying Taurus, but I have now been here for just over four years. Love the environment and the coaches, the really do care! Give it a try, its was out of my comfort zone too!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Taurus has an optimal programme that achieves all aspects of fitness, with knowledgeable trainers that assist with great results. CrossFit Taurus has a welcoming environment with friendly trainers and members.

Fantastic experience: Taurus is not just a place I go to exercise, unwind and recharge, it's a place I go to feel inspired, motivated and supported to achieve my training goals! Initially, I felt out of place because everyone was crushing the workouts, but this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I needed! It's pushed me to do and be better, and the trainers go above and beyond to help their members. I am so stoked to say after years of gym hopping, I've finally found my place!

Fantastic experience: Love the coaches at Taurus. I always get heaps of helpful cues, even after almost 12 months I am still learning every-time I come in. The shower is the best!! Also the training is always new and fresh which is awesome. Compared to gyming by myself I push myself so much more at Taurus. Training with people who are better is also a great way to improve. Give it a go! Beginners can join - when I was starting I was so scared I wouldn’t be good enough but the trainers scaled anything and everything I needed.

Fantastic experience: Wow, what can I say. Gilly and Alyssa are amazing owners, who are an example of what you aspire to be. Them and their coaches provide a fun environment that gives you a massive push in an awesome space. I did a drop in on my way through and I will definitely be back every time I pass through town! I’ll be back.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Taurus Fitness. The coaches here are top-notch, providing personalised attention and guidance that has truly elevated my fitness journey. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable, but they also genuinely care about each member's progress and well-being. The sense of community at Taurus Fitness is unparalleled. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by fellow members. There's a strong sense of camaraderie that motivates everyone to push themselves harder and celebrate each other's successes. If you're looking for a gym with exceptional coaches, a supportive community, and a commitment to helping you succeed, look no further than Taurus Fitness. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: It’s always scary starting something new. I put off signing up for months thinking I had to be ‘fitter’ to start CrossFit. However, now after 2 months at Taurus I’m totally hooked and am in the gym most days. I genuinely wish I had signed up sooner. The classes are awesome, always with scaling options if you can’t do something, and great programming so you can see your progress over the weeks. The coaches are first class, and genuinely want to help you on your journey. The members are great craic too and it’s just an awesome way to get some exercise in!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Taurus for four months after being convinced by a friend. I was intimidated by the thought of joining a CrossFit gym but it has been a great experience. Gilly and Alyssa have curated a community welcoming of people of all skill levels and a passion for being the best version of yourself. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Dropped into Taurus while visiting whānau. Awesome coaches and welcoming members! Highly recommend if you are in town and looking for a quality, friendly gym. The workout was also really well programmed and a good push.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in to the 9am Saturday conditioning session, amazing workout, awesome warm up, great crew. Thanks for having us.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Such a supportive atmosphere couldn’t recommend more!

Negative experience: I had a lot of positive experiences at Taurus and was a very happy and loyal member for a couple of years. However, the quality of coaching diminished as the member base grew. When I first started there was open gym, quality coaching and prescribed supportive accessory work - this is now gone and the prices have increased. I personally received little to no coaching for a significant period of time before finally deciding to leave. If you have a payment query you’re directed to the third party provider who are difficult to communicate with.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place with a great community. Foods average.

Fantastic experience: What do you get when you mix high quality trainers and great people? Taurus Fitness, that’s what. If you’re looking for a new style of exercise or just wanna try something new check out the best place to go in Palmerston North!

Fantastic experience: Visiting Palmy from Newcastle Australia. Here for a wedding. At first it was quite intimidating to enter the gym but then I was greeted with a smile from the lovely Alyssa & she encouraged me to come in to check them out. It was a Sat partner WOD & I teamed up with a similar strength girl. We got stuck in & got it done. I was thankful I went. Thank you team Taurus.

Fantastic experience: Whatever your fitness level, TeamTaurus is the gym to go to. Great community, experienced coaches who encourage and guide you through the workouts and movements. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever, amazing trainers with all the experience and support! The people and atmosphere is the best vibe, can’t recommend Taurus enough!

Fantastic experience: Super supportive community for all athletic levels (from newbie to elite athlete)! Trainers are super motivating, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive

Fantastic experience:
