Bout Fitness Mount Maunganui

Fantastic experience: Never been to a gym before so I can’t compare… all I know is that I’m not gonna go to another gym. I love the boxing mixed with circuit training and I can do it when I want… coach’s rock and it’s a super diverse group of members which adds to the security and comfort of turning up… if anxious about going to a ‘gym gym’ then this is the place for ya… parties = added bonus

Fantastic experience: It's an awesome gym, the trainers are always there to help you and push you on when you need it. Also the sense of community there is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Just don't go there on a sunny afternoon if you're sensitive to warmth as it gets all the afternoon sun

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train! Great staff! Amazing vibe and no bookings required

Fantastic experience: THE BEST GYM!!!! No one is sitting there judging you, if anything, other members push you and support you all the way to try your best While also pushing themselves. The coaches are super friendly and always there to help you with your form. You wont find a better gym anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Epic gym! I started weak and over weight and now I feel like I'm flying haha. I had amazing results from their 42 day health challenge and would highly recommend this gym to anyone. Such a welcoming and fun community of gym buddies.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym Quick and effective routines that’ll easily fit into your day and most of all amazing, supportive and down to earth staff that encourage you throughout

Fantastic experience: Gyms can be intimidating but not BOUT. This gym is for everyone and anyone of any fitness level and puts the FUN in functional fitness. One of the best thing about this place is there are no bookings. You don’t have to think about the workout it’s already there waiting for you. Just show up and get it done. The coaches here are so incredibly supportive and as soon as you walk through the doors you instantly feel uplifted and surrounded by great energy. The BOUT team including members have always made me feel welcomed and have encouraged me to surpass what I thought I was capable of. I live a healthier and happier life because of my training and love to train because of BOUT

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a gym to help you get motivated into feeling fit and strong, this is the place! The staff are awesome and encouraging, and the vibe is fun and safe. Strong is the new skinny

Fantastic experience: Have been at bout for a little bit now and I have absolutely loved every moment. Bout has pushed me to start looking after myself physically and mentally it has been beneficial as well. The whole team at Bout are amazing and have made me feel welcomed from the moment I joined. Could not recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Best gym environment to work out in! The staff are genuine, super encouraging, and always make an effort!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Best thing I’ve ever done for myself physically and mentally. The Mount crew is the best as well

Fantastic experience: Literally one of the highlights of my day! Never felt so at home at a gym before. Love the workouts, the boxing, the bubbly trainers and how social everyone at the gym is. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else :)

Fantastic experience: What a way to start the day. Bout crew. The vibe is high.. hyynnnnaaaartt

Negative experience: I joined Bout Fitness to improve my mental health and fitness. Unfortunately I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Bout Fitness with a specific trainers behaviour and now with the way management has handled my complaint. I made a formal complaint to the owners explaining how their staff member was not upholding Bout Fitness’s core values. Their trainers comments made me feel unsafe, anxious and upset. Management and myself had an agreed outcome as a result of my complaint - I would be informed of a documented staff discussion in August. With extreme disappointment, management did not follow through and I was not informed of the outcome. I have now handed in my notice at Bout Fitness and was willing to leave it at that. Yesterday 24.09.20 - I saw a post on Bout Fitnesses Instagram promoting Mental Health Awareness and sharing stories of other members. I was disappointed as I did not have the same experience and made a comment stating “I wish I had the same experience at Bout Fitness.” My comment was soon deleted, this happened three times. I was soon directly messaged by the owner, they highlighted my situation was dealt with and asked “if it be left at that”. My point of writing that comment was to allow for other members to speak out about there experiences if they too are struggling at Bout Fitness - like I had. Instead I was silenced. Mental Health awareness should also involve discussions around the causes of mental health issues and the impacts they have on people. Sharing my experience may open opportunities for others to speak out. Opening up about our experiences and struggles is apart of the beginning stages of healing, instead I was silenced by having my comment deleted repeatedly and told “it be left at that” which seems to be a strange way of promoting mental health awareness. Both good and bad experiences from members need to be shared. I understand many have enjoyed being members and for a moment so did I. Until my well-being was at risk due to a staff member and now being silenced by the owner.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, great vibe, great staff. Love the idea of changing circuits, and workout done and dusted in 45 minutes!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, environment and people
