Fantastic experience: I've been a member for a couple of years. Since joining, I've got fitter, stronger and more toned! (yay :-). The coaches are very helpful, knowledgeable and motivating. The atmosphere is great - hands down best gym I've ever been too! Thanks BFT Taka team

Fantastic experience: BFT Takapuna is the best BFT I have been too! From the coaching to the community surrounding me, I feel privileged everyday to be a member here!

Every session is challenging in the best way, and the community vibe is unmatched. I walk in excited and walk out proud every single time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier coaching and an uplifting fitness family!

The atmosphere is so supportive with many of the members and coaches being so very encouraging and motivational that I can’t help but push myself further. The improvement I have seen in my fitness journey has just amazed me so much considering the short time I have been there so far and I owe it all to the great mix of classes and coaches. Ben and his team have built something awesome and I highly recommend giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: The idea of finding a ‘gym community’ was a complete myth to me, before I joined BFT Takapuna. I’ve met some awesome gym pals, been supported by the amazing coaches (they even put up with my constant complaining and whinging) and with a bit of hard work, I have my goals and seen some epic results. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of BFT studio for 4 years now and last year I moved BFT Takapuna wow. I looked back now and it was the best day I walked through those doors.

Ngā mihi nui ki a BFT Takapuna!

Fantastic experience: BFT Takapuna completely changed my fitness journey. I still remember my first class— Crew fit— and I genuinely thought I wouldn’t make it. But the amazing coaches, team vibe and the fun workouts kept me going. Fast forward and now I’m doing Hyrox and marathons?! Something I never thought I’d achieve. This gym is supportive, challenging and full of amazing people. Best decision ever joining BFT Takapuna! Highly recommend!!✨

Fantastic experience: BFT Takapuna is hands down the BEST gym on the Shore! Ben has built an incredible community that’s supportive, uplifting, and full of good vibes and banter. I’ve been training here for nearly three years, and the workouts constantly push me to reach my full potential. I’ve done multiple challenges, and the coaches are always there to answer questions, support you, and motivate you towards your goals. When I first started, I was really shy and struggled with major anxiety. Sarah was amazing — she took the time to show me how everything worked, especially the HR monitor, and made me feel completely at ease. Now, BFT Takapuna honestly feels like my second home. I’ve gained so much confidence and made so many awesome friendships along the way. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Joining BFT Takapuna for the first time was a bit nerve-wracking—I didn’t know a soul there! I thought my friend went to the same gym, only to find out they were hitting up a different location. Classic mix-up! But maybe BFT was just meant to be my happy place. The moment I step inside, I feel an overwhelming surge of joy and excitement. The staff and fellow gym-goers are so friendly. The coaches are incredibly positive and encouraging. They push me to my limits, and I swear they must have a secret degree in being just the right amount of “mean” to get results! In just 3 weeks, I’ve lost 4kg—and believe me, it’s been totally worth it! If you're looking for a gym that feels like a party where the only thing getting heavy is the weights, BFT Takapuna is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: This branch of BFT is a stand out. There are plenty of instructors and they are really motivational. Ben who manages the studio takes a real interest in his customers and their journey. I've been coming back here for some time now. 'Just do it!'

Fantastic experience: I joined BFT to be healthier and I was not expecting to get stronger as well :) You might think that you can’t do this or do that as it appears hard but the coaches are a great support to guide you all the way.

Rebuilding my fitness is still a WIP, but I’m stronger, more focused, and loving every session. If you want a fitness studio that challenges you, supports you, and keeps things interesting, BFT Takapuna is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Wish I could give more than 5 stars to this place~ 10/10 ⭐️ So much love for Bft Taka community, all the coaches, and the owners Ben and kelly! Theyve transformed a nightowl into someone who now willingly wakes up daily for a 6am session, as well as turned a strength-only girl into someone who enjoys cardio as well~ Bft taka has such a supportive environment, and are genuinely kind and caring. All of the coaches have advanced knowledge to make sure you dont get injured. Unlike other gyms where you might feel intimidated by the coaching style, they are always so welcoming and adjusts exercises accordingly if anyone has niggly pains or injuries. A bonus is that the coaches and community are hilarious in class too, which helps the time fly by when youre struggling with cardio One of the best gems and gyms on the shore hands down ❤️ Keep up the amazing vibe guys❤️ Much love Jo
