BFT Te Awamutu

Fantastic experience: What an absolute amazing place!! BFT Te Awamutu is such an inclusive space where no matter your shape, size, age or fitness level there is space for you. The coaches are absolute gems!! Always willing to help and they encourage and push every member to be their best. When I joined 3 years ago I never thought my body would crave exercise each day. Starting my day with a workout sets me up for the day and I definitely don’t feel the same when I have a rest day or miss a day.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and community spirit thankyou bft

Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of the BFT Te Awamutu whānau for three years and I absolutely love it. I’ve cancelled all my other gym memberships because nothing compares. The different with BFT TA is the coaches and community. The coaches know their stuff, inside and out. They’re supportive and genuinely care about technique and form. It’s not just “turn up and sweat”—they make sure you’re moving well, progressing safely. BFT is a vibe and always a great time. The sessions are structured, fun, and challenging with a few extra gains thrown in to test us. The music’s good, the energy is high, and the people are even better. It’s a true whānau environment where everyone celebrates your wins—big or small. If you’re thinking about joining, just do it—you won’t regret it. Thanks BFT TA, for always bringing the heat, the aroha, and the gains.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 3 months now & absolutely love it! The coaches are awesome, making sure you’ve got the right technique for any movements and are super motivating.

The vibes are always on at TA, would highly recommend!✨

Fantastic experience: I had been apart of group fitness for 2 years, when the franchise I was with closed, I went to BFT pretty apprehensive, as I loved the old gym. I went to one class at BFT in Te Awamutu and realised the hype was real. Love the place, the coaches and the community.

Fantastic experience: Honestly hands down the best gym I have been a part of! Training is prescribed giving you a mixture of strength based and cardio - which I love turning up and just doing the mahi. Everything is explained along with screens to following along during the workout. All coaches provide the best support, with demos, techniques, and tips. The overall atmosphere is super uplifting and engaging with the best vibes, music and members. I have progressed so much physically and mentally achieving goals and always setting new ones with all thanks to BFT Te Awamutu!

Fantastic experience: Bft Te Awamutu is definitely more than just a gym! There is space for everyone, no matter where you're at with your fitness journey, you'll find your place here. Coaches are the best you'll come across and cater to EVERYONE and are committed to helping you achieve whatever goals you set. Walking through the doors for the first time is the toughest part, from then onwards, you'll be trying to get to every class possible and disappointed if you skip a day. Give it a go, you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Never thought i would do this... Love BFT it certainly is for me! The coaches are amazing, they always take the time to help with form and give hands-on advice so you’re getting the most out of every session. It’s such a supportive and motivating environment. Honestly, I look forward to every workout. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: BFT isn’t just a gym — it’s a community within a community, full of love and support. I never thought I’d sign up for a gym with group classes because I feared judgment, but it’s honestly the complete opposite! I look forward to taking 45 minutes to an hour out of my day to focus on myself, have fun, and enjoy the physical and mental benefits that come with it. I’ve made so many new friends in this beautiful, supportive environment. The coaches are welcoming, friendly, and full of heart. They are always ready to crack a joke or do whatever it takes to make you smile, hit a target/PB and make you feel better after a long day. They are more than coaches, they feel like family. The members are just as amazing — encouraging, uplifting, and kind, celebrating your achievements and wins with you and hyping you up for your next target, it's the most positive entertainment you can experience. I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be smiling while exercising, especially in intense Cardio sessions, but here I am. BFT is my home.

Fantastic experience: I've been going for about a year now and love it! Awesome vibes, cool trainers and 8 week challenges help keep me accountable. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: BFT Te Awamutu is more than just another group fitness gym; it is a community! As soon as you walk through those doors you are made to feel welcome. It doesn't matter if you know anyone, once you're in there you will always have someone in your corner to back you. There is such a suite of knowledge amongst the coaches and it really helps you to feel comfortable pushing yourself out of that comfort zone.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym so much! It has been more than just a gym for my husband and I, it’s a community who support and encourage each other and celebrate each others wins and all efforts. The coaches are all so knowledgeable and passionate about fitness and what they do. They don’t hesitate to correct your form if need be and they are always watching to see how your going throughout class, if you need a push they are gonna give it to you but in the best way! Love that there is a variety of classes from strength to cardio, some mixed, even a bit of boxing comes around, you can pick and choose or do it all. I love that everyday is different, never the same - I’ve just hit my 500 classes mark, I’ve honestly never been to a gym where I’ve wanted to go so consistently, we actually get fomo when we can’t go ❤️If you want to change your lifestyle for the better and get real results for your health, fitness and be stronger this is the place to be ❤️

Fantastic experience: If you’re a Plus Size person afraid to walk into a gym, head on in! I hadn’t been in a gym for longer than I’ll admit here. Now if I miss a day, I’m gutted. The coaches & other members make this a safe place for me to strive to do the best I can. I’ve been a member for nearly a year now and only continue to look forward to what can be achieved! The variety of classes keeps it from feeling monotonous. Things can be adapted to meet individual abilities. The coaches guide you on correct technique and encourage you to push on to that next level. BFT TA is not just about physical health, the owners/coaches have created a real whānau!

Fantastic experience: Being older and very unfit, I was nervous about joining when my daughter suggested it. It has been the best decision I made, the coaches are all so friendly and encouraging, and push you to be the best you can. They have created the best community vibes. Having just finished my first ever 8 week challenge, I’m looking forward to building on what I have achieved. This place is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Best vibes, best trainers & awesome range of classes that suit all fitness levels. Wish I'd signed up earlier ;)

Fantastic experience: This gym has change my life. I had never been to a gym before and my wife persuaded me to come and give it try. Being an interactive style gym was a good way to keep motivated and was interesting to see how hard you were working with the heart rate monitor on. I was really nervous at first starting the gym at the Rob old age of 43. Not really knowing what I was doing, the trainers were amazing starting me off on basic stuff and continued to teach me and progressing as I got more familiar with movements and form. Being a group fitness gym, we have the best community and have made some amazing friends for life. It’s pretty cool how everyone encourages and gives you confidence to better yourself with absolutely no judgement whatsoever. BFT Te Awamutu is A real diverse place to train and has been a real easy place to fit in and feel comfortable. I seriously look forward to the going to the gym and Catch up with my mates, and train hard but have plenty of laughs along the way. This place has been amazing for my mental health and physical health and I’m so grateful to be a part of this community. I have been at the gym for Just over a year and a half now And I’m in the best shape of my life. Being encouraged and pushing myself. I have some pretty cool milestones and PB’s to be proud of. I could go on so much about this place Things going on like 8week challenges, personal fitness tests, out of gym activities And so many more. Fully recommend coming along and having a go and making some awesome Friends and making a better you.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym enough. The coaches are what make this gym the best in TA, with their knowledge, vibes and targets You will not regret signing up.

Fantastic experience: After being a serial gym donater, finally found a place thats got me hooked on working out. Good vibes all day long!

Fantastic experience: What can I say! This is place is amazing, great community to be apart of from owners, trainers and members. Most supportive community. Only place to go if you want to see results, get all the rundowns on do’s and do not’s. And the best part is the events that they put on. AND you have a personal trainer there to push you when you feel that you can bot go anymore. And well they will push you and you will see the results and reep in the rewards when joining BFT Te Awamutu. The best one out there.

Fantastic experience: Two years ago, I joined BFT TA feeling unfit and unhealthy. What I’ve come to appreciate most about BFT is the community. It’s a place where everyone is striving to be better, both in fitness and in life. The people here are genuine, all working towards their own goals, and the support is incredible. Now, after completing over 500 classes, I truly feel like I’m in my thirties again—stronger, healthier, and more energised. It's amazing what dedication and a positive community can do!

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and professional with expert coaching. It is everything I look for in a gym. The community VIBE has brought this little ole town together in more ways than one. Supporting one another through the 8WKC a fitness program that helps participants reach their health and fitness goals through training, nutrition, and support. PFT A Physical Fitness Test & HYROX a global fitness race that combines running and functional workouts. The coaches prepare and coach you to things you once thought was unachievable, then become a reality - ‘competing in my first Hyrox 2024 and my 4th PFT’ Whanau & Hauora are at the forefront with family day activities & movie nights. But from the business end of BFT when it comes down to the mahi it’s all about ‘you against you’ being coached safely towards your goals, that’s where the magic happens, ‘body transformation, strength & building aerobic capacity, you become a ‘Better You’

Fantastic experience: BFT TA over any other gym in town! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an incredible vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. They go above and beyond to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels motivated and inspired to reach their fitness goals! Highly recommended giving it a try, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Such a supportive and encouraging environment! Everyone is welcomed no matter what stage of their journey they are at. The trainers are fantastic, they pay attention to where your are at and encourage you to push a little harder when they know you can.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful welcoming gym run by owner/ trainers who promote an inviting nurturing environment. Well done Luke and Corban and thank you for your hospitality. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Had a really good train..trainers were friendly and had a really nice set up

Fantastic experience: Such a cool gym to train at. I love it here, great trainers, cool people, new gear, great location. If your looking for some motivation and a place that will take care of you. Go check BFT Te Awamutu

Fantastic experience: BFT rocks anyway but I loved working out here. The loo is a bit of a mish to get to (a lil outside the main building, down some steps but not a problem really). The trainers roam to give handy tips and will stay with you until you're comfortable with what you are doing or they are satisfied with how you are performing a movement. Like the other BFT gyms, they have TV screens showing what circuit activity you're up to and the color range your heart rate is meant to operate in/aim for. Extra TV screens also show your heart rate and PXI so you can earn gold, silver, bronze or blue (participation) medals if you've purchased and wearing one of their heart rate monitoring belts. I recommend this belt as you get to track your fitness levels over time as well as during the fitness session. The belt is hooked up to an app on your phone and this can easily show how you've done in this session and compare to other sessions. You can even join/follow other gym attendees through the app to follow their session progress. I could go on for a while so please check out a BFT gym near you and their website for more information. Great energy was felt while here I can't wait to go back to my own gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Central location, easy parking, flexible programmes, fantastic trainers!
