Body Torque

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate to be connected with Body Torque and introduced to their ‘Thriving Through Menopause’ program — it’s been truly transformative. It’s set me on the right path toward better health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally. When I first started, my fitness wasn’t very strong, and walking into a gym was unfamiliar territory. The team is incredibly welcoming and never makes you feel self-conscious or out of place, which really helps me keep going and make steady progress. The sessions have opened my eyes to just how vital strength training is during this stage of life. Alex and Phil have a way of making you feel completely at ease, especially if a gym isn’t your natural environment. They are incredibly knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and genuinely supportive. The entire Body Torque team fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere where encouragement and connection come naturally. Being part of this group has strengthened not just my body, but my mindset too. The support, the laughter, and the new friendships that have been made have added so much to the journey. I’m truly grateful to have found Body Torque!

Fantastic experience: Through some great connections, I was introduced to Body Torque and specifically the 'Thriving through Menopause' training sessions. What a game changer for those that need support knowing how important strength training is. Alex is incredibly patient and supportive with extensive knowledge of how to make you feel at ease when a gym environment is an unfamiliar space. The whole team at Body Torque are encouraging, supportive and I'm glad I joined this group. The laughs along the way, the new friendships and the significant boost it has given me not only physically but mentally are immense - thanks team!

Fantastic experience: I am relatively new to the gym. I joined hesitantly after much persuasion by a group of friends but I’ve found a true happy place. This is a friendly, encouraging environment of like minded people who are all striving to do better and be better, offering endless support. It is unlike any gym I’ve been to.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Body Torque for the past six months and have genuinely loved every moment. I had been searching for a gym that provided structured, sensible, and consistent programming, along with expert guidance on technique—and Body Torque has exceeded my expectations. What initially drew me in was Alex’s messaging on social media, which really aligned with my own philosophy around training. After a quick chat with him on a Friday, I found myself walking through the doors early the following Monday morning—and I haven’t looked back since. From day one, I was struck by the quality of coaching. Despite many members being long-term clients, I felt fully supported and included. There’s a strong emphasis on proper technique, which is clearly and consistently demonstrated. Having two highly experienced and knowledgeable coaches present every strength session—Alex and Phil—adds a level of personalisation and attention that’s rare to find in a group training environment. Both Alex and Phil genuinely care about each member’s progress. No matter what your goal is, they are there to support and guide you every step of the way. Their expertise is unmatched. Although I had trained for several years prior to joining Body Torque, I’ve learned so much under their coaching, and now feel far more confident in my lifts. Beyond the training itself, the gym environment is exceptional. There’s a strong sense of community and support. From day one, I felt welcomed by the other members, which made it easy and enjoyable to keep coming back. Alex was spot on when he said that Body Torque feels like a family—it truly does. Whether you’re chasing a specific goal, looking to push outside your comfort zone, or just starting your health journey, you won’t find a better place. With expert coaching, top-tier equipment, and a fun, supportive atmosphere, all that’s left is for you to show up and put in the work. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Phil answered 'yes' when five years ago, fresh from a round if chemotherapy, I popped my head around the gym door and asked 'do you take on old, sick people?' Now, three times a week, he urges me on to ever greater effort, always alert to the difference between challenging and impossible! Great trainer, great gym...and if no one else is around he even puts the Sixties on the Playlist.

Fantastic experience: Body Torque is the Best Gym in Auckland. No question. It's the vibe, the people, the enjoyment of staying strong and fit with an awesome bunch of friendly folk - makes getting up and going worth the effort every time! Did I mention the vibe? :)

Fantastic experience: Four or five times a week I get to hang-out with some pretty cool people, we all come together on neutral territory and the chance to exercise is the added value. I can't imagine my life without this. Alex and his team at Body-Torque have created something really special. Hands down Body Torque is the best gym in Auckland, and I can't imagine my life without this as part of it.

Fantastic experience: Body Torque is the best gym in Auckland, especially if you’re over 40 and want expert guidance that actually works for your body. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised the way I trained in my 20s just doesn’t work anymore. What makes Body Torque Gym different is their coaches understand how the body changes with age and they tailor the training to suit. This means no guesswork and no wasted effort - just smart, safe, and effective workouts that get results. The group classes are also a game-changer. Everything is scheduled, so I don’t have to wait for equipment or wander around wondering what to do because there is always an expert coach nearby to help. This means I can just turn up and get my workout done in the most efficient amount of time. The Body Torque community is also incredibly welcoming and supportive. It’s a fun, energising place to train, with none of the intimidation or ego I’ve seen at other gyms. If you’re feeling the effects of getting older and looking for a gym in Auckland where you want to feel supported, challenged, and well looked after - Body Torque Gym is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I started at Body Torque with Alex and Phil over 7 years ago and they have changed my life. I went from overweight and not knowing how to workout to being in the best shape of my life. They introduced me to weight training and have shown me the way to work out as I get older. My fitness, and the happiness I get from exercising, is completely down to Alex and Phil and the amazing community at Body Torque. The friendly, encouraging and inspiring environment makes it easy to train. I cannot recommend joining the gym highly enough, no matter what your fitness level. The BT community and staff will look after you!

Fantastic experience: Alex flint and Bodytorque are amazing!! So fun and relaxed but also just an absolute fitness whisperer - if you feel like you keep failing in your goals and feel desperate at times come here and Alex can unknot success for you with your health and fitness

Fantastic experience: Alex, Phil and the team run a gym like no other I’ve experienced. I was recommended Bodytorque with a chronic injury as an alternative to surgery and with their care and expertise I’ve not only fully recovered but discovered an environment I haven’t wanted to leave. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I was trained by Alex in a group setting for an intensive month on a project in Auckland last year, and was so impressed by his training that I have now taken the opportunity in an online capacity to be guided by him again as an individual. Both experiences have been incredibly rewarding, enjoyable and inspired. For me, the Body Torque Online Coaching has been set in motion to hone in on general and specific goals I have, including my changing menopausal body and in strengthening my physicality for all future adventures in life. Alex has a passion for supporting others in their endeavours, he is genuinely interested in your journey and he delivers his incredible knowledge and experience in a very calm, considered way which builds trust that I’m in good hands. Alex has created a fantastic seminar series you follow weekly as you are training, which gives real depth and understanding to what you are signing up for. The Body Torque app Alex has created for you to work from is excellent, every exercise has a video accompanying it for guidance which is brilliant as I’m very visual in my learning and doing. The app is also the way you and Alex track your progress which is genius as it makes you take the day to day responsibility for yourself, what you put in you get out! The app provides much more too, a cache of other workouts and recipes for inspiration to list a few. I feel that no matter what your aims and goals are in life, Alex can guide you in that direction, his ethos being ‘Strong for Life’ sets the tone. It’s not about just this next 12 weeks, it’s the rest of your life!

Fantastic experience: If you are lucky enough to train at Body Torque you will know that Alex, Phil and the rest of the crew there are absolutely first class. The programs they offer and the level of care and attention to detail of your health & fitness are second to none. The group or personal training methods adopt the most up to date techniques and equipment. From Cardio to Strength and Rehab, you cannot beat Body Torque. They are particular adept at helping members through injuries and rehab back from surgery. The icing on the cake, the gym and member community that Alex has created - makes you want to turn up!

Fantastic experience: Picture this: I was up a ladder inside a skylight when it suddenly slipped backward. With nowhere to jump, I rode it like a surfboard and did a press-up as it hit the ground. Aside from a sore ankle, I walked away shaken but intact—and I felt superhuman. I was 65 at the time. Now, as a woman approaching 69, I can say the benefits of training with Alex and his team at Body Torque over the past 7+ years have been phenomenal. I see it as insurance for a strong, healthy, active life—and it delivers. Alex understands the challenges women face as we age; for me, it’s been bone density. His training works—just ask my bones! Body Torque also has an incredible community spirit. It's a welcoming space where we support each other, laugh, and train hard. I love it.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for Alex’s expertise and his Body Torque Online Coaching to guide me back to a fit, strong and healthy body. I love his happy and holistic approach to life, health, fitness, and state of being. Alex took on my very complex recovery from injury, also with an understanding of menopause at age 53… and all his experience and skill, and his excellent Body Torque App have made this possible to achieve with online coaching being my only option. After only 2 months with Alex I have made such wonderful progress having had chronic pain for 6 months with limited movement and mobility, a loss of strength and range of motion, and muscle imbalance and atrophy… and I am already moving more freely, feeling stronger in my body and running again! Alex is a world changer and he is changing the lives of people to be strong for life. I really recommend Alex Flint and his Body Torque Online Coaching! Thank you Alex

Fantastic experience: Twenty years ago I joined a gym, spent an awful lot of money and failed. I haven’t been near a gym since My approach to Body Torque was, therefore, feeling very risky. However, the ‘maturing’ process was no longer knocking at my door, it was now banging and not stopping! I joined BT with hope that I could arrest this aging decline, aiming to age gracefully (and disgracefully) while improving posture, muscle tone, and the joy of living. Surprisingly, and mostly to me, I am now in my third year of membership and am more committed than ever. Alex and Phil’s attention to detail, maybe correcting my elbow to sit more closely to my body to activate the shoulder not the arm, or shifting my feet to take the emphasis off my back, or modelling a particular core exercise specific to my development, is all part of the Body Torque package. Care, attention to form and developing technique are BT priorities. And this approach is successful. Added to this, BT is also a community of people from everywhere all aiming to look after themselves while offering a smile and a nod of encouragement to newbies and oldies alike. Thanks Body Torque

Fantastic experience: Joining Body Torque has been amazing! . One of the standout features is the Myzone Belt – it’s not just a tracker, it’s a motivator. Being able to see my effort in real-time during workouts and track my progress over time has made a massive difference. As I get older, strength training has become more important to me . The team at Body Torque understands this. Their focus on proper technique, tailored programs, and long-term results makes every session feel purposeful and effective. I’m getting stronger, moving better, and staying motivated thanks to the people and tools that make this place special.

Fantastic experience: What better time to write a review then straight after a 5.30am session. I started my health journey four years ago and l couldn't have picked a better gym. Body Torque is like a family of like minded people trying to become a healthier version of themselves. Alex, Phil and Megan will help you achieve those goals. Be they, weight loss, strength, healthier mind and body. They help you navigate those injuries and find similar workouts so as to NOT aggrovate those injuries and assist in your recovery. I have never been a fan of gyms because they can be soulless and lack comradery. Not BODY TORQUE, great equipment, great people and full of fun. Come and give BT a go, and join us for a coffee in the cafe next door.

Fantastic experience: I joined Body Torque two years ago after reaching a point where I wasn’t happy with how I looked or felt. Starting a new job in Newmarket, I was eager to find a gym nearby—and after watching Alex on Match Fit, I decided to reach out. With the gym just a stone’s throw away, it felt like the perfect opportunity. Alex responded the very next day and invited me in for a chat. During my visit, I had a 3D Body Scan, which gave me some confronting truths. But Alex made me feel completely at ease. His supportive and welcoming approach created a safe space, even when facing hard facts. He walked me through how the Body Torque training system works: everyone follows the same monthly program, with a new focus every four weeks. It’s honestly a game changer—you don’t have to worry about planning your workouts because everything is already mapped out for you. Alex and Phil are not only incredibly knowledgeable and patient, but also genuinely kind. I hope they know just how much of a positive and influential impact they have on the Body Torque community. Now, I’m 10 kilos lighter, stronger than I’ve ever been, and have made lifelong friendships along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Body Torque—especially to women—as a true investment in yourself.

Fantastic experience: The most humble, hard working, personal trainer with one goal... to better me, and guide me on a path of getting healthier, stronger and fitter especially as I get older..

Fantastic experience: It’s been an all round great experience ever since I joined. Alex and Phil create an environment that’s really welcoming for all, and that brings the best out of everyone. The relaxed supportiveness, positivity and fun is evident at every training session. There’s plenty of resources supporting the holistic, science-based approach to fitness and wellbeing that’s the underlying philosophy behind it all. Alex is always available to explain and encourage, and has been incredible in supporting people with injuries. The help I had after injuring my back (outside the gym) was amazing. Alex put a great deal of effort in to help me stay active and training without aggravating the problem. He researched specific techniques/exercises to build strength to mitigate the problem, integrated that all into my training plan and worked through it with me individually. It was lot more than I could have reasonably asked for. And I didn’t need to ask. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been to many gyms and fitness centres over the years but none can emulate Bodytorque's unique quality and ethos. It has a welcoming atmosphere that focuses on the individual. Alex, Phil and the BT team manage to do this in an extremely positive and non threatening way. Many people that join the gym come here because they are limited by pain or previous injuries and the team at BT manage to transform their lives. Individually tailored plans to ensure that you see results that can be measured both objectively and subjectively. All credit to Alex and the team. I have been coming here for more than 8 years and the atmosphere here is amazing. We are a family of all ages and sizes training together with the common goal of being stronger and fitter for life. Simply the best little gym in the world!

Fantastic experience: Truly transformational in unique. In my 50's, thought my body was past reshaping and kilos were impossible to lose. Alex, Phil and Bodytorque have proven me wrong. Their absolute care and commitment to everyone at the gym: the sense of community and being surrounded by other who are achieving incredible change has inspired to do and be more than I have before. I have lost 50% of the weight I want to - but more importantly my sense of strength and wellbeing has never been better. Alex and team, thank you: you are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Alex is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever had. As an ex-All Black and professional rugby player, I’ve worked with many top trainers throughout my career—but I’ve been with Alex for five years now, and he’s on another level. After footy, life became a bit of a cruise. I didn’t think much about training anymore. But Alex completely changed that mindset, especially through the Match Fit program. He opened my eyes to a lot—especially after hitting 40. What sets Alex apart is how much he genuinely cares. He takes the time to understand your needs and knows how to get the absolute best out of you. He’s always researching and working hard to find new ways to help you live a healthier, more fulfilling life. Alex is an all-round top bloke and a true professional. Whether your goal is change, weight loss, improved fitness, or just feeling better in life—Alex is the man to help guide you there. I highly recommend him to anyone ready to take that next step. Be part of the Body Torque Family. See you there! Brad Mika All Black 1024

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym experience I've ever had! When I first started looking at reviews for Body Torque, I was struck by the consistent praise for the atmosphere, the people, and the support. Now, after being part of this incredible community, I can confidently say BT lives up to — and exceeds — the hype. The atmosphere is unmatched — welcoming, motivating, and full of positive energy. From day one, I felt like part of the team. The friendships I’ve made here are genuine and uplifting, and the accountability from both coaches and fellow members has been a game-changer for my consistency and results. Every training programme is personalised to your goals and fitness level. You're not just a number here — the coaches really see you, they listen, they adapt, and they push you when you need it most. I’ve achieved results I never thought possible, both physically and mentally, and it's all thanks to the support and encouragement I get every time I walk through the doors. BT is more than a gym — it’s a community that celebrates your wins, lifts you through the tough days, and helps you become the strongest version of yourself. If you're thinking about joining, stop thinking and do it. It’s absolutely worth it.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body Torque for years and it has been an absolute game-changer. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym and community

Fantastic experience: As a woman that had never lifted weights I was completely confused and terrified as to where to start or what to do. I joined Body Torque last year and Alex and his team are just fantastic. The real key for me was the supportive and safe environment and the knowledge they have. They always keep an eye on technique and really take the time to make sure you are doing exercises correctly and in turn I am getting so much stronger and injury free! The best part is the motivation and I walk out of there and feel empowered!

Fantastic experience: There's a lot of gyms in Auckland but in my opinion Body Torque "shouts above the noise" The absolute expertise of owner Alex Flint coupled with his genuine care for members is the foundation of a unique community environment Over the last few years Body Torque has been a life saver for me and i can't recommend it highly enough

Fantastic experience: Been training with Alex and BodyTorque for years. Alex takes the time to understand what you need and any injuries you might be carrying and adapts any programme to strengthen and protect as you go.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Body Torque for approximately 10 years and would highly recommend this incredible gym. Alex and his team are skilled, friendly, inclusive and very knowledgeable. As a women I feel safe, comfortable and motivated every time I visit, the environment is welcoming, attentive and encouraging. Body Torque has helped me with strength and conditioning in general and also to accommodate my other sporting goals. I feel healthy, stronger and more confident than ever thanks to this great gym. I would highly recommend BodyTorque and especially for women looking for a supportive and empowering place to reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Transformational. If you have neglected your health and are getting soft in places this is the place for you. A supportive culture that promotes people recovering the body of yester year. No one has to travel alone and the team and other people support and encourage you. After you are done there is a nice cafe a few steps away to chew the fat with your fellow exercisers. The key to making a change is what you eat and drink. Guidance and support around that is available.

Fantastic experience: Excellent advice and guidance given Alex is top of his filed and very encouraging

Fantastic experience: Awesome vibe, great place to train. Alex , Phil, Megan and Q know their stuff. Fixing my food and addition of the KB challenge, 10Kg down in 4 weeks.

Fantastic experience: So down to earth and explained everything in detail it was an eye opening experience and I would recommend to go there. Such a friendly environment

Fantastic experience: In my early 50s. Bodytorque is the only Gym I have ever stuck with. 18 Months in still going 3 times a week. Great atmosphere with nice people and excellent trainers.

Fantastic experience: Alex is so friendly and knowledgeable loves what he does and really keen to get people thinking about their why and connecting them to their fitness and health goals. Such a motivated and experienced group of trainers and coaches there, members and vibe friendly, comfortable to be amongst

Fantastic experience: This isn’t just a gym. This is a community. A kind, warm and welcoming community. If you’re lucky enough to be part of this, there’s no way you can’t win. I’ve met people here and become friends with people who I’d never have met otherwise. It’s been weird for me in that sense, but weird in the BEST way. Apart from that, the level of coaching at Body Torque is unparalleled. There’s Alex, who lives and breathes this. His resume blows my mind and he’s been coached and trained under a wide variety of coaches - from world renowned strength coaches, to handstand and kettle bell pros. It’s insane. And the dude just keeps upping his game. He walks the talk. Then there’s Phil, who has his “Phil”osophies, or “Phil” loquialisms, which we all love. More people need to turn up to work like Phil does - he’s so happy to be amongst it. He literally bounces on his feet. Phil’s an expert trainer and coach and his eye sees all. He’s not just technical but has a level of wisdom with lifestyle and training that few have. I know I’ll be taking the foundational knowledge and habits I’ve learned here and applying them in my older years of training. I can’t say enough about this place and I’m truly grateful to be part of Body Torque.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, great people, great results!! I personally cant get enough of this place

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, positive vibes, supportive members.

Fantastic experience: ️Not your typical gym – Body Torque Gym Newmarket is next level. Let me tell you something right now: Body Torque is the best gym in Auckland. It's legit, it's a gym for real people who want real programs that work. It's not for posers, for influencers or for people doing half a workout just to post a sweaty selfie. This is where champions are made. Like me - I’ve been on the cover of Kickboxing Magazine – twice. If you want to get strong, lose fat, and fix your body and mind? Done. If you want to "boxercise" and to "activate your glutes"? Go to some fern-filled day spa, bro. Alex Flint, the man running the show......he’s good. Too good. Suspiciously good. I walked in with busted knees, a tight back, and two torn egos….but like a true Greek healer, he rebuilt me. I dropped 15kg, I’ve reversed my dodgy health stats, and now I walk around like a panther with a mortgage. Only problem? His music. Bro, what is this? A Zumba class from 2006? One day I was deadlifting to a remix of the Neighbours theme. I nearly called the police. And don’t even get me started on the Canterbury Bulldogs. “Bro, this is the year! We’ve doubled the salary cap, baby!” The Bulldogs couldn’t buy a finals spot with Bezos’ wallet. They’re 200% over the NRL salary cap and they're still out there playing like it’s a social touch comp. The only Grand Final they’re making is on PlayStation. But look, you’ve gotta admire the optimism. It’s the same belief Alex brings to every training session. But in all seriousness, the people are friendly, the vibe is strong, and the results I've achieved speak louder than Alex when he’s yelling over his own playlist. Body Torque Gym is the real deal. It's five stars. Not quite as good as me, but close.

Fantastic experience: Body Torque has changed my life immensely. Trainers Alex and Phil have helped me in my journey to become fit, healthy and mentally strong. The atmosphere in the gym is positive and the people are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: This is the “Best Little Gym in the World”. Has instructors who are not only knowledgeable but passionate about you achieving your goals, whatever like may be!. Not just about weights and cardio it’s about your lifestyle and has a feeling of you belong. Would definitely recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with BT for over a year now. I am having the best time, due to friendly community atmosphere, full of knowledge trainers and their close guidance. My body is fittest and strongest since I had my three kids. Love this place, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Body Torque is more than just a gym, it’s a vibrant community of positive, supportive people that feel like family. On top of that the trainers (who have created this culture) are very knowledgeable who continue to upskill and genuinely care about the health and wellbeing of the Body Torque whanau. Awesome place to train

Fantastic experience: I've been around a while (aerobics instructor in 1985!) and been to a lot of gyms, and this is the closest I'd get to calling it whanau based. No bling, and everybody wanting the best for you. My 6th year with these guys. 65 years young - 110/65bp: 54BPM: 15%body-fat. happy boy
