Fantastic experience: Never did I think I’d enjoy exercise or be consistent, but the coaches and the community here make it easy to turn up every day!
Thanks Al!
Fantastic experience: It’s been a long time coming for me to finally join as I have family and friends who attend. I think more people should take up the couple week trial period and judge for themselves. The staff and members truely do make a community environment that makes the somewhat daunting task of the gym that much easier! Great place, great people, great times
We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thank you for the kind words Ben! We can't wait to see you flourish within our four walls!
Fantastic experience: I have been an off and on gym user for the past nearly 30 years. But never consistently. Either due to motivation, boredom or injury. BFT has been the longest consistent time I've attended. I now go 5-6 times a week and love it so much. No pressure, excellent coaches, body positivity and what I love the most, a scientific approach which means I may not understand why we do certain exercises but I'm stronger and fitter with no injury than ever before. Can't recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers that work you hard, always look forward to the range of sessions at BFT whether it’s hiit, cardio, strength or hypertrophy. I was initially hesitant about working out in a group class environment but after a couple of sessions I was hooked and more than 2 years on and still loving it!
We are so proud of everything you have achieved and cannot wait to see the things that you no doubt will continue to receive.
Fantastic experience: Love BFT Kensington! Pushing myself harder than before thanks to the structured programming and the wonderful coaches! Multi studio access is a huge bonus too while travelling, but always love coming home to BFT Kensington
Thanks for the kind words Steve! We're stoked you chose us to be a part of your daily non-negotiables, and I know the rest of the network is too! #DIFFERENTBETTER
Fantastic experience: I’ve been at this gym for nearly 2 years. It is my second home. Love the workouts the people the music. The coaches are awesome! Never boring and the 8 week challenges keep me in check when I start to fall off the wagon.
Thanks Chanel! We love having you as part of our community and have loved seeing your progress over the last two years - we can't wait to see the goals you continue to smash.
Fantastic experience: Initially I was hesitant to start coming along but I knew I needed to for my health. I now get upset when I miss a day because I love seeing all my friends and the amazing trainers! The community is one of the best parts - the other is consistently improving and hitting new goals and PBs. Love BFT Kensington.
Thanks Anna, we love you too! Great to have you as part of our Kennel whānau!
Fantastic experience: An epic place to workout, the trainers are super knowledgeable, friendly and very supportive! I have felt welcomed since the moment I started my 2 week trial. Highly recommend!
Thanks Lana! We have LOVED seeing your progress over the last 8 weeks and cannot wait to see what goals you will continue to smash!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! I was never an active person and always found it difficult to find the energy and motivation to exercise. Since joining BFT I’ve had great results and haven’t stopped going!!! ️♀️
Thanks Val - we love having you!
Fantastic experience: The most positive gym experience I’ve had! BFT Kensington has a great community environment that supports new and seasoned gym goers alike.
Thanks for the kind words JT!
Fantastic experience: Love BFT Kensington and the community! The structured style of group training suits me perfectly. Great workouts and trainers who provide good guidance and a push if I need it. I struggle with motivation in a normal gym so I love coming in everyday with everything set up so I don’t have to think about what to do, and feeling amazing progressing through an 8 week block of work being better at the end than I was at the beginning. Keep it up team BFT Kensington! Love your work!
Thank you for the kind words Jacs - keep up the mahi!
Fantastic experience: Since starting BFT, I can’t express enough how impressed I am with the overall experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly atmosphere that instantly made me feel part of a community. The community aspect of BFT truly sets it apart. The members are friendly and supportive, creating an encouraging environment that fosters connection and camaraderie. You’ll find like-minded individuals who lift each other up and celebrate each other’s successes. The trainers at BFT truly stand out. They bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and genuine passion for fitness. Their expertise shines through in their ability to offer effective modifications for different fitness levels, making it an inclusive environment for everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes. Their encouragement and support have kept me accountable and inspired. With fantastic facilities, amazing trainers, and a wonderful community, it’s a place I look forward to visiting every day. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their fitness while being part of a supportive and motivating environment!
Thank you for the kind words, Ty! We are so lucky to have you, your friendship and sunny disposition in our community from day 0.
Fantastic experience: Was hooked from the moment I walked through the welcoming doors. Greeted by friendly, knowledgeable and energetic coaches. They took time to get to know me and my level of fitness. BFT is an amazing community where everyone is friendly, motivating and supportive. I now get upset if I have to miss a session. Working out at BFT does not feel like a chore which makes waking up for that early morning session so much easier. Well done to Bells and the coaches for the amazing community you have created.

Fantastic experience: I love BFT and have been a member since day 1. I was nervous about going at the start but the coaches and other members are welcoming and now training is now a non-negotiable part of my week. With the ongoing support of the excellent trainers I have had a huge shift physically over my time at BFT. I have joined in on the 8 week challenges and have found them helpful with great recipes to use and lots of motivation from your team during this time. The great thing about BFT is that even when you're not on a challenge you are being encouraged and pushed to work towards your goals. Huge shout out to Bella and the team!
Thank you for the kind words Magali! We are so lucky to play a small part in your health and fitness journey, to have you as such a big champion of not only our studio, but also of the brand; finally, we are so lucky to be able to call you a mate! Here's to the next 500 classes and beyond!

Fantastic experience: Hands down best gym in Dunedin. I initially signed up at BFT for the workouts and to get healthier, but stayed for the community. The coaches are super knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging, the workouts are different everyday and the people are just top notch. Highly recommend :)
Thank you Courtney! We are so lucky to have you as a part of our Kennel community and to call you a friend!
Fantastic experience: When my gym closed I needed to find a new on. The group training here is awesome. With qualified trainers/coaches every session it makes it easy to get exercise progressions or regressions. Excellent atmosphere to train in and i have had such positive results in my time so far.
Thanks C-Train! We love seeing you flourish within our four walls, and can't wait to continue to smash goals!
Fantastic experience: Have joined different company gym years ago with the same concept (classes with weights and cardio with personal trainers, no freelance use) and didn't last long, I didn't enjoy it. I joined up to BFT 2 months ago, and love every aspect of it. The supportive trainers and community who motivate you every single day, I have noticed such a massive not only physical but mental and emotional difference in myself and have incorporated some major lifestyle changes since and I couldn't be any more thankful to Bells and her amazing team. They also have a lot of social events too.
Thanks Kara, we love having you as part of our community and have loved seeing your incredible progress so far. You should be so proud of yourself!
Fantastic experience: BFT is by far the best gym I have been to! I’d have to say that I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time- stronger & fitter There is also a real sense of community with the members & everyone encourages each another. Do yourself a favour and make your way down to the studio, no matter what your goal is, I promise they’ve got you covered! 10/10 DIFFERENT. BETTER
Thanks Scotty! We love having you in our community and are LOVING seeing you smash goals.
Fantastic experience: BFT Kensington is an awesome training facility! The club itself is always impeccable, they clearly look after and take pride in their workspace. The moment you walk through the door you feel welcome. Bells and all the coaches are approachable and friendly. They are extremely knowledgeable and deliver classes that will not only push you across the board, they will always ensure your form is correct and safe for maximum results! Couldn't recommend BFT Kennsington more! :)
Thank you for your kind words Bexx! We love having you in our community and cannot wait to see the goals you will continue to smash!
Fantastic experience: BFT Kensington makes you feel at home. The members are all so welcoming and friendly and the coaches are bloody good at what they do and love to have a laugh as well. Every class is different, they push you to do better, the challenges help to give you focus and the PFT (fitness testing) is challenging but I LOVE IT! One membership gives you access to all BFTs around the world, great for while on holiday or travelling for work.
Thanks for the kind words Lou, we love having you as part of our community.
Fantastic experience: BFT Kensington has been a game-changer for fitness in Dunedin! The trainers are all super knowledgeable and supportive and the variety of classes keeps everything feeling fresh.

Thanks Lachy - we love having you as part of our Kennel community.
Fantastic experience: The variety of classes actually make you want to go the gym every day - there is a prescribed mix of strength & cardio. The support that trainers provide is awesome - I would never have lifted as heavy as I do now, if I was training in a gym by myself. Great community thanks to Bells & the team ✨
Thank you for the kind words! We LOVE being a part of your fitness journey and can't wait to see the things you will achieve!
Fantastic experience: BFT Kensington is not just a gym. It’s a community. My experience at BFT is not only different but also better than other gyms. With their programs specifically designed by the wonderful people in HQ and local trainers ready to push people to reach their fitness goals and more! Bells and her team of coaches have built a culture within the gym that’s welcoming and inclusive of people on every stage of their fitness journey. The 8 week challenges are a vital part of the BFT experience with specific meal plans and EVOLT scans to guide members to achieving their goals. For those looking for something extra BFT Kensington offers the HYROX PFT to push people to their limits, testing their fitness and mental strength. Overall, BFT has changed my fitness journey for the better!

Fantastic experience: Imo this is the best fitness establishment in Dunedin. The classes are a good weekly mix of strength and cardio sessions. The trainers are enthusiastic, encouraging and are always offering helpful tips and advice, they know their stuff! The other members are also welcoming, a testament to the vibes the studio has created. The equipment is up to date and well looked after. The studio and bathroom/shower facilities are clean. They use quality handsoaps and hand sanitizers. There is a hairdryer and GHDs available. The management is responsive and always helpful with queries. I have noticed my strength and fitness has improved tenfolds in the 4 months I have been attending BFT Kensington, especially compared to any other fitness establishments I have tried. I would highly recommend BFT Kensington!
Fantastic experience: Awesome workout this morning! Trainer Jordan introduced herself immediately and was so welcoming! Also got paired up with two super friendly members, great experience all around
Fantastic experience: Amazing
