BFT Wellington Central: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with knowledgeable instructors
Fantastic experience: Prior to this, I've never signed up to a gym. I couldn't see myself committed to one. However, I needed a change. After a serious accident more than 10 years ago, I never could regain my fitness and strength. It is disappointing that I would keep getting injured and the cycle continues.. Thankfully, with the support of my partner and with the coaches at BFT Welly Central (Dani, Aaron, Amy, Bri, Emily, Abbas, Mushi..), I kept showing up. I wanted to give up so many times, especially being new to everything. I couldn't last 5 minutes in my first classes and was fainting a lot. I couldn't lift even a bar so I had to work with a wooden stick, or nothing at all. What is great is that with BFT, they aim to help you get stronger and fitter, no matter where you begin the journey. You get challenges. You get world class athletes as coaches. You get to make friends. You get results. I highly recommend to anyone who is getting into fitness or are wanting to get stronger and fitter to try them out.
Fantastic experience: Best BFT in town! Carry and Marshall have done an amazing job making this place feel like a true community. The trainers are awesome — super supportive and really know their stuff!
Fantastic experience: BFT has been a great mix of fun and learning about fitness. I was nervous about joining a gym, but the team are so welcoming and approachable. I’ve met some cool people and I’m stoked with the progress I’ve made so far. Good vibes all around!
Fantastic experience: When my old gym of 10 years in Wellington moved, I considered "trying out" a new place. Gym’s are my third place – work, home and gym make up my triangle. I needed a place that would push and welcome me (and Harvee my dog too). Now...I know it was the best move ever. BFT Wellington Central have amazing coaches, awesome classes, no two days are ever the same. I am super impressed with the technology used by BFT. I could not recommend BFT Wellington Central enough. What’s more, when I am in other parts of NZ or Australia I simply book in to do the exact same class, somewhere else. The familiarity makes that so much easier to do. They exceeded and continue to surpass the expectations of my third place in life!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely a great community of like minded people and positive vibes. The coaches are awesome and very helpful. Loving it so far.
Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic community with informative, friendly and encouraging trainers! The group style training has helped me push myself, get out of my comfort zone and try new things. BFT is more than just a place to workout, it’s meeting new people, making friends and having a room full of people wanting you to succeed!

Fantastic experience: Been frequenting this place for 2 years now and still not sick of it. Have learnt a lot from the excellent coaches, been able to push myself out of my comfort zone, and meet amazing, like-minded people. BFT Welly Central is for everybody!
Fantastic experience: After trying out numerous gyms, I personally discovered that this one is the best fit for me. Fantastic atmosphere, an awesome community and a great coaching team.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym for 10 months now and what truly sets BFT Wellington Central apart is its sense of community. Everyone is super friendly, welcoming and supportive. I have never been to a gym like it! Each trainer brings a wealth of experience and a passion for fitness that’s palpable from the moment you step in to help you achieve your goals. All classes are unique and requires different levels of endurance, strength and mental fortitude to complete the workout (highly recommend getting the BFT heart rate monitor to track your progress) Coming from someone that has hopped around many gyms in the past and being very inconsistent. I can highly recommend BFT Wellington Central! From the friends you meet, the coaches and the genius programming that is set out for you. Achieving your goals is that much easier!
Fantastic experience: The most incredible gym community to be apart of. BFT welly central has the most fantastic coaching team always supporting you and pushing you 110% throughout the workouts - you’ll be walking out of this place smiling, richer in laughs, good vibes and friends! So much more than just a gym!
Fantastic experience: The best place in Welly to train! Coaches are awesome and it has a fantastic friendly atmosphere. Has a massive range of equipment for those heavy lifting days. Plus did you know one of the owners wrote a book?? Crazy!
Fantastic experience: Such a positive and comfortable environment at BFT! You are able to build great relationships with the crew and others. So glad I made a very easy decision moving over after my 2 week trial. Thanks heaps BFT, you guys are awesome!
Fantastic experience: BFT Wellington Central is the best gym in Wellington! The owners Abbas and Gen are so friendly and welcoming and the classes have great variety across strength and cardio workouts.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever!!! Gen is my favourite coach. Bring Emily back
Fantastic experience: Usually based in Auckalnd, I went to BFT Wellington, and I found a great welcoming team and a nice gym with great equipment. It's always fun to train at BFT
Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic feel, very supportive and knowledgeable team. Loved the atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Never saw myself as someone who would be motivated to get up at 6am in the morning and come to the gym 5 times a week until I discovered BFT. You just need to turn up. The culture and community that has been built is super friendly and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, I’ve never been so motivated to come to training!! Not just a gym, but a community!!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the workouts that BFT offers, which are progressive and diverse so would give a high rating anyway. However, this place goes above and beyond just a regular BFT and other gyms, organising all sorts of extras, like run club, yoga sessions, fun events and not to mention the ultra inclusive environment (being dog friendly is a big bonus!) and even little things like a massage gun and gym towels you can borrow if you forget.
Fantastic experience: BFT Gym is more than just a place to work out; it's a family. With a welcoming atmosphere, high-quality equipment, and dedicated instructors, BFT offers an exceptional fitness experience. Throughout my time there, I've not only achieved my fitness goals but also become part of an encouraging and supportive community. Overall, I highly recommend BFT to anyone looking for an engaging and motivating fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Awesome vibes, awesome team, awesome owners. Has really motivated me to be consistent again.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a way to reach your fitness goals or keep your fitness in check. I highly recommend taking a few mins out of your day to visit BFT Wellington. All staff and gym members are friendly and approachable. We all support each other like whānau. Its a great vibe and you see results! I have been a member for 1 year now and still enjoy it everyday.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that is fun yet focused- you are in the right place! People, coaches are amazing and as such the vibe is a whole another level! They assess your abilities and provide a variety of options that focus on the same muscle groups. Coach Abbas is also a Hyrox pro winner in his category and is inspiringly humble and a great guide to improving your Hyrox time! One of the best BFTs I have been to!
Fantastic experience: 100% recommend and 100% recommend Welly Central. Our journey started under the 5 sessions for $25 package and straight into our unlimited membership. Only started maybe a few weeks back - was really shy because I didn’t know almost every workout they do. We met one of the trainers, Mushi on our first day and from there we just felt the urge to continue going. Very friendly, super helpful and forever positive vibes. I feel more disciplined now with committing to working out which was the goal from day one. If you’re looking for somewhere to kick start your fitness journey or even a space to get back in to it after 2+ gap year, join us. You get your moneys worth, for sure. Come be skinny and fit with me ✅
Fantastic experience: Incredible gym - the owners, coaches and other gym-goers are welcoming and friendly, classes are fun and challenging but coaches can also show you alternative workouts if you aren't able to or don't feel comfortable doing what's on the screen, the heart rate monitor system is great to help manage how intensely you workout to ensure you can last the whole class. Never thought I'd enjoy a class based gym but I can't imagine going anywhere else now ❤️
Fantastic experience: This isn't just a gym - as soon as you walk through the doors, you get a sense of community and people who love to be there and support one another. Abbas, Gen and the rest of the coaches are so supportive and greet each person who walks through the door with smiles, energy and passion. I am so grateful for this place! Best hour of my day!
Fantastic experience: I'm somewhat shy and find gyms very intimidating, but at BFT Wellington Central the environment is such that it makes each and every one of us feel warm and welcomed. The team is ray of sunshine in my very busy days. BFT fits in all the components of fitness, my favorite class to date is Cardio Summit and Lower Body Strength. Highly recommend to all body types :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve really struggled to get back into fitness since having my 2 kids, I’ve always felt intimidated in gyms and struggled with motivation. A friend encouraged me to try BFT Wellington Central about a month ago and I love it! I’ve gone from no exercise, to attending BFT sessions 4-5 times per week. The trainers make you feel welcome and capable, they provide encouragement and a safe space. There are varied sessions across the week, exposing you to new and different exercises. The sessions are well run, with clear instructions/demonstrations and the experienced trainers actively check and correct form, if required. The vibe from the trainers and members create an awesome atmosphere, that makes it addictive. The online App and heart rate monitor are great for tracking your session and pretty cool for those that have a competitive nature :) It’s a great gym and highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The team at Wellington Central BFT are amazing, very professional fun and engaging. BFT has helped me kickstart my fitness goals and I have been making great gains, highly recommend this gym.
Fantastic experience: I joined BFT Wellington Central in May 2023 and it was easily the best decision I have made in a long time. This place has become one of the favourite parts of each day for me and I look forward to my session everyday. The environment Abbas, Gen and the extending couch team have created is second to none and it’s safe to say it’s the people that have resulted in this being the most consistent and serious I’ve ever taken my personal health. Thanks heaps to the team. Here’s to a great 2024 with you all!
Fantastic experience: BFT Wellington Central is my favourite place to go every morning - not only to get in a great work out but to start my day with an awesome community built by the amazing owners Gen and Abbas.
Fantastic experience: Love love love this gym. Coaches are awesome. The workouts are awesome, I wish I could go 7 days a week, twice a day! Kaz
Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever been a part of. Genuinely look forward to my hour there each day.
Fantastic experience: BFT Central is awesome full of really encouraging people from trainers to every day people at the gym for whatever their reason. The trainers are supportive and this club family is like no other!
Fantastic experience: What more could you want from a gym… welcoming space, fun, energetic, inspiring (owned by an author) and more. A gym that really gets my day going and is worth the 6am wake ups for
Fantastic experience: I've been training at BFT Wellington since they opened last month. They have developed a great community of diverse and enthusiastic people. Abbas, Gen and their team are fantastic coacher who keep us inspired, motivated and safe along the way to achieving our fitness goals. Their facilities are state of the art and always clean and tidy. It's always a pleasant place to train and be with friendly people.
Thanks Ali! Your energy during the 7am classes is contagious!
Fantastic experience: I'd never really looked forward to going to the gym before joining BFT. The workouts are great, but it's the welcoming vibe and fun from the coaches and community that makes it better than most and that combo keeps me coming back.
Fantastic experience: As a member of the prestigous NFT, this gym is a game changer. I used to dread going to the gym not knowing where to start in the gym, what equipment to use, and most importantly what muscles am I using. With BFT, the team are constantly keeping an eye on me and immediately correcting my position if I'm doing the excercise wrong...talk about in house personal trainers that do it with a smile. They've also challenged my abilities and pushed me to do more..it's been 6 months now and they still haven't given up on me! I love BFT because there is no shame policy like you see in some gyms. It's the most diverse place to workout and they even made me feel comfortable in my own skin. All the equipment is laid out for us kudos for Abbas, Gen, Mooshi, Amy, Ema and the rest of the wonderful lady coaches. I wouldn't have lost weight and built muscle without you. I genuinely love you and and thank you for giving me the confidence I needed.
Fantastic experience: I'm not normally one for group classes, however, I absolute adore these classes and the gym. The staff are super friendly and encouraging, making each workout enjoyable, and all members are super encouraging and lovely. Highly recommend this gym!
Fantastic experience: Where to start with this.... Abbas and all the Trainers are really there for you!!! Everyone may be sweaty and tired after every session but we keep coming again and again because the outputs we push ourselves to are clearly becoming more and more observable. The trainers not only care for your safety but also have a gauge on what your limits are so are constantly motivating you to reach your respective goals.
Fantastic experience: Started going during a trial period in March and I just kept going. Great trainers, fun programmes, and a great community environment. I’ve done sport my whole life but was always failed in a traditional gym setting because I get bored. This is the perfect scenario because I show up and get told what the game plan is and then coached through movements I’m unfamiliar with. 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had been doing group fitness for about 4 years and found myself hitting a plateau for about 2 of those years - mood, motivation and physical results. Within 4 months at BFT Wellington Central, I have found my life, body and health completely transformed (again!) It’s been such a great experience - transforming my lifestyle and not to mention life long friends I have made during this short but impactful time. Excited for the years ahead !!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Got to be one of the best places to go to. From the moment we took our first session to where we are now I can easily say how supportive the team and members are. Never been a big fan of gyms or even group workouts but BFT Wellington Central is a vibe everytime. Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: BFT welly central has honestly changed my life, I’m so grateful I came across it. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get their mindsets changed. Not only is it a great gym with awesome members but the special part about this Gym is Abbas and Gen and their team. Without them I know I wouldn’t have stay on and now I can say I love going to the gym everyday
Fantastic experience: 5am class whanau rock and Abbas and his team are the best!

Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers who help you work on your technique and encourage to push yourself that bit further. Really great mix of cardio and strength classes to keep you building up a level. This gym has a friendly, encouraging, community feel to it that other gyms don’t have.
Fantastic experience: Gen & Abbas have created the most amazing atmosphere and community with BFT Wellington Central. The drive and passion they have to make the gym the best one in Welly (which it is) is inspiring and I feel very proud to be a member! Also any gym who plays Beyoncé bangers on repeat is a gym I want to be a part of
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wellington! Super supportive trainers who get to know you and invest in your wellbeing. All new equipment and a wide range of different classes. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Have just joined BFT Wellington Central after my week trial, the team is so welcoming and friendly and I have enjoyed the classes a lot!! Great culture and environment to be around, plus such a rewarding feeling post workout :)
Fantastic experience: BFT Wellington Central is something special. As somebody who has never felt confident with what to do at the gym this type of group fitness has been amazing for me, the coaches are really knowledgeable and make adjustments so the workout can suit any level of strength/fitness and you never have to feel bad about what level you’re at! In addition to this, Gen and Abbas have created a positive, close knit community for us members! The community is amazing, supportive, and as cliche as it sounds it’s more than just a place to workout - it’s a wee family! Can’t recommend BFT Wellington central enough!!!
Fantastic experience: Joined BFT Wellington Central when they first opened back in October 2022 and love it! The owners Abbas and Gen are always welcoming and encouraging. Having had wrist surgery in August I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do the majority of the exercises, however the trainers have been incredible and always check in or alter exercises to fit my abilities! Super friendly gym community which will leave you smiling… even after a sweaty cardio session! Keep up the great work team
Fantastic experience: I just completed the 5 session trial period and have just signed up for a membership. The trainers are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and crack a good joke now and again. I look forward to continuing to work with them to improve my fitness and strength. I would especially recommend it for anyone that is looking for a positive and community driven training.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever!! I used to be so scared of doing group fitness but the community Abbas and Gen have made is so welcoming and friendly I never want to miss a class! I’ve made so much progress in the time I’ve been with them and made heaps of friends. Couldn’t be more grateful for them opening up so close to home. Definitely would recommend anyone and everyone to give it a go ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to BFT Wellington Central for the past couple of weeks and it has been great. Going to the gym can be daunting especially when you don’t know what to do so it is great to have the trainers there to help you with form and provide encouragement. I’ve also found that it’s not just the trainers but your fellow gym-goers that provide you with motivation as well. You’d be surprised that you can do one more! I’m really enjoying my time so far and could not recommend coming through enough. See you there, I’ll be the Michael B. Jordan lookalike.
Russ! So glad you finally found a fitness community that you enjoy!
Fantastic experience: BFT is an absolute game changer, not just a gym but a community welcoming anyone who wishes to join. Not only is my strength increasing, achieving new PB's, and continual cardio improvement but I also get to do it with a wicked bunch of people and the most dedicated, supportive owners, Abbas & Gen (and an epic crew of coaches). It's made working out so much more fun, with results! Love the crew, love the gains, and love the vibes!!!
Thanks Katie G! Need a few more of you in the lunch crew!
Fantastic experience: Guaranteed the best gym in Wellington CBD!! There's so much to love about this gym. Gen and Abbas have created such a wonderful community here, it's not just a place to come and go to workout. The classes are well-structured and backed with science. I love the fact that I just need to show up and follow the workout, no need to think about what I will be doing for the day. Everyone motivates one another. The trainers are very friendly and encouraging. And best of all, you get to meet new people, make friends, and build a connection which makes going to the gym much more fun. Come and see for yourself! :-)
Fantastic experience: A great gym with passionate trainers. You sign up to a class time that suits you. Then you actually go because you've committed to a time and place. The exercises are varied and the schedule of classes changes week to week so you won't get bored. You'll get to know the regulars around you, it's a good mix of people with a variety of fitness levels. So it's a super welcoming and motivating space. I'd definitely recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Awesome environment with the best coaches! Abbas and the team care about their members and I always look forward to the challenge that each session brings. 6/5 ⭐️‘s
Thanks Tom! Six stars even!
Fantastic experience: Before joining BFT, I’ve always wanted to make a physical change in my life but I was always scared to go to the gym. I heard about BFT through one of my friends, and decided to give it a try… And I absolutely loved it. It was an extremely comfortable environment, with friendly and helpful trainers!. I definitely recommend anyone like me who was struggling to start their life changing move into the gym to give it a shot.
