Form Fitness Ltd

Fantastic experience: Thank you guys so much for the imbalances and injuries that you have helped me deal with and get through. Janelle has been awesome to work with and I have found that form fitness has been so helpful for me rather than other physios and other sports practitioners. Thanks a lot team.

Fantastic experience: I started at Form in the hopes of managing my endometriosis and gaining back some of the mobility I've lost over 20 years of chronic pain. In the past ten months Vicky has seen me through surgery, rehab, and is now helping me build strength to meet goals I would not have dared hope for when I first started. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and support. I would (and do!) gladly recommend the trainers at Form for anyone wanting to take control of their health.

Fantastic experience: Awesome results! I would highly recommend Forme fitness and my trainer Vicki who got me in top shape increasing my strength & power. After 3 months I was able to reduce my lower back pain and compete at a rowing event achieving my best results. Vicki is so generous sharing her wealth of knowledge & experience I learnt so much about how the muscles are all connected and also how to support the body through menopause. The gym space & equipment is top quality and you definitely get value for money. Thanks Vicki & Forme Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Janelle and the Team at Form Fitness Beckenham, I'm shocked that so many other gyms and physio's don't offer these services. Two of my boys have had bad sports injuries and Janelle has got them moving and seems to know a lot more than some others in Christchurch. I would highly recommend for anyone with sports injuries and also postural, strength and mobility needs, it is a must as we get older too. I know where I'll be going if I need help. Thank you ;-)

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Janelle at Form Fitness for a number of months now and it's absolutely transformed me. I would recommend them to anyone that needs help with an injury, strengthening and overall fitness and health improvement. The science and professionalism they bring to uniquely tailor to your needs is superlative. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: I have loved having Rachel as a PT. She is knowledge and a lovely person, and always makes the gym fun. I never thought I wanted to go to a gym or have a personal trainer, but Form fitness has been excellent for me. After an injury, I had to change my usual exercise habits and so came to this gym. Rachel helped me find things that not only worked for me with my injury, but made my whole body stronger and helped me identify exercises as well as habits I could change to improve my health overall. I am now stronger than I ever was before my injury and have the skills to keep on track. I would definitely recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: It is a wonderful stroke of good luck that I stumbled upon Form Fitness. They play a key role in helping me be able to physically do what I want to do. Without overloading me with technical information, the team at Form Fitness worked alongside me to identify and address the root cause/s of chronic stiffness and inflammation. I have a plan, it’s working, it’s interesting and part of my daily life. I don’t have to have any expensive equipment or go to a gym. While friends my age say being sore is just what happens at my age, I know that with the right support it is possible to blunt the effects of aging. But it all comes down to the individual and how your body has learned to move over the years. One size doesn’t fit all. In fact it can be entrenching unhealthy movement patterns. Form Fitness can figure out where you are at and what you need to do. They will walk alongside you the entire journey one step at a time. For me that literally means being able to take a step and not be in pain. I am confident I will only get better because now I have the knowledge and tools to prevent the problems recurring. Christchurch is so incredibly lucky to have Form Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Great personalised training.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and really knowledgeable. Great help with keeping positive and meeting goals

Fantastic experience: Janelle is a very experienced trainer and really helped my rehabilitation from knee surgery. I learned so much about how my body Works and what to do when it's not feeling so good.i would highly recommend form fitness and their trainer's.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Janelle for 15 years and I can honestly say she’s incredible. She has that perfect balance of highly supportive yet won’t take an ounce of an excuse. Believe me, I’ve tried them all! Janelle’s body science knowledge has repaired my body every year after some long and tough training seasons cycling. When Janelle’s away we sub in the other trainers and they’re awesome (also not bending to my excuses). Knowledge, support and challenge will be found at Form Fitness as well as great people who build strong relationships to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: Hi guys. I can't speak highly enough of Vicky at Form Fitness. I am a man in my mid 70's and cannot believe the improvement in my posture. Being a Golfer my flexibility has improved 70 -80% and I am hitting the golf ball further! I highly recommend any of you sports lovers to get 'off your butt' and give Form Fitness a call. You will not be disappointed. Peter

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and responsive to my fitness hopes

Fantastic experience: Recovering after injury without creating other imbalances or injuries has been a challenge - I have been impressed with the depth of knowledge staff at Form Fitness have to train in ways that have allowed me to begin to regain my strength and fitness with physical integrity and without aggravating physical niggles - big shout out to Vicky who has given me so much good advice and resources in addition to my training plans - thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Vicky was great to work with to help me get back to fitness post partum. Such a professional organisation and made me feel so comfortable! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Pt’s are extremely focused on what our goals ours - posture, rehabilitation after serious injury and fitness/weight goals. Postural analysis, muscle imbalance and functional assessment was spot on - now reaping the benefits. Hard work but you know you’re working the right way using the correct muscles and form. No more back pain!

Fantastic experience: We enjoy working out at Form Fitness, the tuition comes from highly motivated trainers who are very skilled at what they do, but they also listen to our feedback and if necessary they adjust the exercise to suit our needs.

Fantastic experience: Loving the experience & atmosphere at Form Fitness and most of all working out with my hubbie ♡. Rachel is a great personal trainer and i couldnt recommend them more highly! :)

Fantastic experience: My experience with Vicky at FORM Fitness: After years of reluctantly “working out” at the gym and at home (just for the sake of doing SOMETHING physical for my body), I never felt like I was making any visible progress or building sustainable exercise habits. It was chore I did to “feel healthy” but in reality was a struggle with no consistency or long-term improvements. I knew I needed to find a more educational approach in order to actually learn how to use my body more efficiently and feel stronger and healthier in my day-to-day life. I started at Form Fitness with these goals in mind and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and trainer. Vicky has helped me build from the ground up; starting small with isolating muscle groups I didn’t even know I had, building strength in my core, and building up an personalized excersize plan that I can easily implement into my routine at home with no equipment. Since starting 3 months ago with weekly sessions, I’ve noticed significant change : my posture has improved, I am engaging my core more during long work shifts - and becoming less reliant on muscles (like my shoulders and upper back) that used to cause regular soreness and pain. I can feel myself getting stronger as the weeks go by, and even more importantly, I am understanding WHY these techniques work for my body and how these skills will benefit me for the rest of my life.

Fantastic experience: This is not your typical Gym. The trainers (mine is Vicky) are incredibly knowledgable. I've had a bad back for over a decade and after physios, chiros and several PTs helping me over the years, it was only when I joined Form Fitness that I was properly diagnosed and I'm now seeing huge improvements after only a couple of months. A pleasant surprise has been realising that working smarter, not harder, has actually yielded me the best results. Vicky has a very targeted approach to muscle groups and what seems like a slow (almost too easy) approach to realigning my body and engaging muscles that weren't working properly, but I've had faster and more significant results in 2 months than I have from 2 years of punishment by other brute force trainers.

Fantastic experience: I had an assessment done by Janelle and she really knows her stuff! The report she produced will be valuable for me since I don’t live in Christchurch. I can use it with another trainer in the future. The program she developed for me is something I can do without any equipment while I travel and will help me build a strong foundation and correct muscle imbalances that have developed from injuries and other causes. It was so informative and interesting! Janelle ha a great personality and was a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: I looked on line for a gym/fitness place where I could be assessed as to my current posture. Janelle did a thorough check pointing out some areas that required some work. With the help from Vicky I now stand tall with a much improved posture. I have completed the homework required and that's after 3.5 months. Highly recommended organisation.

Fantastic experience: I've tried a number of different gyms in the past but this is the place I've stuck with longest. Being private means often its just you and your trainer, so no waiting for equipment, and no worry about embarrassing myself! The trainers are knowlegeable in working with abilities and physical limitations. Very glad I was reccomended to come, my joint pain has reduced a lot since joining

Fantastic experience: I have so much respect for Form Fitness, Janelle and my trainer Vicki! After an intensive assessment and report by Janelle, Vicki has worked with me to improve core strength, posture and keep up my weight loss journey. With exercises and numerous tips that are easy to work into my day to day routine my body feels so different.....in a good way! I've tried several gyms over the years but never for long and the thought of a PT was just scary! This place is completely different and if you're needing rehab, strengthening exercises or have specific issues Vicki has a wide range of experience and knowledge. After 10 years of living with a spinal cord injury this experience has been the most productive in recent years. I cannot recommend FORM FITNESS highly enough..... Thank you ladies, you rock!!❤️

Fantastic experience: I'm loving my training sessions with Vicky. I've had back problems on and off for decades. I've been to physios, chiropractors and many others, but this is so much better and the results are great. Vicky is helping to improve my posture by targeting muscles that have been pretty lazy up until now. She only gives me exercises that work for my body and doesn't let me stretch so far that it hurts. I'm really happy with my progress. Thanks Vicky!

Fantastic experience: I am feeling fitter and stronger since starting my sessions at Form. Initially feeling rather apprehensive about going to a gym, I asked for a gentle gradual approach and I am so very happy to be working with Rachel. She has helped me focus on my goals with a program of gym work and at-home exercises that are just right for me. Her encouragement and good selection of exercises means it is never “too hard” and I have been able to enjoy the sessions and make steady and significant progress.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been training at Form Fitness for a few months now. I couldn't recommend them more highly. The training is tailored to your exact needs, and, you mostly have the gymn all to yourselves. Since we started the training with Rachel my back pain has subsided substantially and is only continuing to improve.

Fantastic experience: I am not a gym person but I wasn’t feeling good in my own body and I had had enough of being so uncomfortable. The assessment with Janelle was really thorough, thank goodness I wasn’t put on the scales and I didn’t have my fat pinched but I did learn so much about my posture and alignment and my strengths and weaknesses. I have been training with Vicky Davis for a year and she has changed everything. I feel like I have my body back, my posture has corrected, my discomfort and pain have gone and I have a clear understanding about what was causing me problems so I can correct it everyday. I feel stronger, healthier and I look much better. She is more than a personal trainer. Vicky can completely rehabilitate from the ground up. Her knowledge is so vast and she adjusts each session to how I am on the day and really pays attention to my wellbeing. I look forward to our sessions and I would highly recommend Form Fitness and especially Vicky.

Fantastic experience: Janelle got me strong and in shape to get my running up to standard and I am now doing many km's of injury free running. Great coaching, professional and tailored to your needs. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Petra for the past few months. She has done wonders for my back, I can’t praise her enough. Confidently, I can fully recommend Form Fitness to anyone wanting help with sports injuries and rehabilitation

Fantastic experience: Thanks Janelle at Form Fitness for helping me achieve the highest of results in my sport. Your ability to understand specific sport requirements, break down the processes into components and pin point targeted training programmes has given me outstanding performance gains vs other PT’s I’ve previously used. I highly recommend Form Fitness for any sportsperson looking for a training edge over their competitors.

Fantastic experience: I initially got a recommendation in 2017 from a friend to try Form Fitness and Janelle due to my bad back arthritis and SI joint pain. When I started I was in a lot of pain and it affected my life considerably. I started off with a full posture assessment and a plan to improve function of my core muscles and glutes. I have been going ever since and the work Janelle has done to improve my life has been incredible. My pain was quickly reduced and I gained core strength and overall strength progressing to dead lifts and other weights I had never thought I could do ! Being able to get strong and see the results has been amazing and alot of fun along the way. The one on one training has been the best as Janelle will spot any issues with my position and correct things and making sure I am activating the right muscles and stay injury free. All the trainers are amazing and more recently I have both Janelle and Rachel training me each week.I can not recommend this gym enough if you want to put yourself and your body strength and health first!

Fantastic experience: After my back went out around Christmas (for about the third time last year) I decided it was time to find the cause and deal with that, rather than just treating the back pain. Janelle did a thorough assessment of my posture and flexibility to work out a targeted plan to get my weak areas working properly. Rachel then took over as my trainer and has also been amazing. I can’t believe the difference in my body’s strength and stamina in such a short time. After a full day of heavy gardening or heavy lifting my body is tired but not sore, with little to no muscle pain the next day and no back pain at all. Normally at the end of a hard out day I’d barely be able to stand up straight and be hobbling! I can’t get over the difference! I’m so grateful! I know if I had just joined a regular gym the focus would have been on getting me to loose weight and build muscle, which while are good things, would have done little to nothing about dealing with the underlying issues. I highly recommend these awesome ladies!

Fantastic experience: Janelle and her team at Form Fitness are absolute stars in taking care of their clients! As a chronic workaholic, my body was pretty worn out for years, with heaps of neck and back pain. But since I don't like huge gyms with no-one checking if I do my exercises right (or if I show up at all ;-) ), I was very excited to get Form Fitness recommended by a friend about a year ago: a small, cozy and well equipped, clean studio with amazing and highly-skilled personal trainers, where only a few people get trained at the same time. Starting off, Janelle, the owner of Form Fitness, performs an assessment on posture, flexibility and muscle function - I was highly impressed on how well she can interpret your strengths and weaknesses and point out the body areas requiring focus in training! She then booked me in with Rachel, who is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable personal trainer, but also a very lovely and considerate person - which makes it so easy for me to go to my training regularly! I am training with Rachel since more than a year now, and my neck and back pain have reduced heaps, my posture improved and my overall body feeling is so much better - it's incredible how different I feel compared to a year ago. What I value most (besides the just overall very lovely atmosphere thanks to Rachel's positive aura) is that I learn how to use the correct muscles: my body tended to compensate weak muscles with others. Thanks to Rachel's great coaching, I learn to focus and use my body as I should. I highly recommend Form Fitness and the team, especially Rachel and Janelle! Thank you so much for all your great work with me - it's amazing to feel the improvements from my regular training! I am so grateful to have found such an amazing studio! At Form Fitness, the focus is on you and your individual needs: 5++ stars!

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, friendly and professional staff, highly recommend, thank you Form Fitness Ltd for offering realistic and achievable advice regarding my exercise plan, Elizabeth (Joseph’s wife).

Fantastic experience: great personal studio, i learnt an incredible amount and feel empowered to become stronger in the correct ways and fix some muscle imbalances. feeling alot stronger already

Fantastic experience: Form Fitness has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I've been making steady progress towards my goals and I look forward to training with Chontelle every week.

Fantastic experience: Has a welcoming, calm and relaxed atmosphere. I've been training with Chontelle for about 6 months and the training has been nicely tailored for what my aims which makes keeping up motivation no issue. Each session is different and each time I am surprised with my progress and what I can do. If you've got a fitness or a health aim this is a great environment to achieve it.

Fantastic experience: Janelle is fantastic! I've always been concerned about my posture and I have continued to do the same programme for years which has actually been hindering my efforts to improve my posture, as well as continuing to develop the same muscles and neglect other important ones. Janelle did a very thorough overview, provided me a detailed 2-day programme, and has inspired me to kickstart my training again (knowing that I'm doing the right exercises, in the right way, to help achieve my goals). I couldn't recommend Janelle and Form Fitness enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Janelle for the past year and have gained so much already. Janelle is an amazing strength coach, motivator and mentor and every session I walk out with more confidence and knowledge. Her sessions are catered to meet each individuals specific needs, so, If you are dedicated to your sport or just want a healthy lifestyle, Janelle will invest 100% with you and help you reach your goals!

Fantastic experience: I did a 6 week running specific strength and conditioning class at Form Fitness which I really enjoyed and found very beneficial. I learnt lots of new information as well as take home exercises to improve and prevent injuries. Jess and Janelle were both very knowledgable and great at tailoring exercises to my specific needs. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend these classes/personal training to others :)

Fantastic experience: Janelle and her team are focussed on results – and correct form. Janelle has been working with me to not just help me improve my strength and fitness, but to do it in a way that means I won't get injured. Best trainer ever!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Janelle and the team at Form Fitness for two years - at the height of my competitive career in Highland Dancing. I needed training that was challenging and stimulating, but still realistic for my schedule. Janelle was able to create a plan that I could stick to - and most importantly, brought results. I couldn’t recommend Form Fitness more. Going into it I didn’t know what I needed beyond “getting fit”, but I got so much more out of it. The personalised sessions massively improved my dancing stamina and quality. By making the most of Janelle’s extensive mental and physical training knowledge, I was able to better understand my body, and what I needed to do to reach the next level at competitions.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic local gym that I would recommend. Janelle listened and came up with the perfect training plan that didn't put me at further risk of injury or setback. Well worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: Incredible knowledge. Friendly, patient, professional and helpful. Left extremely impressed, highly recommended to diagnose and help fix any niggles, imbalances, pain, etc.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym with friendly and knowledgable trainers. No scary body building types, ideal for people who don't like other gyms! As others have noted, strong focus on strength, balance and posture. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: A first rate, client-based service, second to none. An emphasis on strength and postural training suitable for all. Worth every star.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at Form Fitness. Janelle shares her experience and expertise with her clients especially in regards to weightlifting and powerlifting. Janelle is an excellent motivator and teacher who has first class skills and knowledge in the fitness industry. Janelle provides first rate training and out of the studio programmes. The facilities are intimate which allows a fantastic one on one experience for the client. Janelle is flexible with availability and every training session is personalised to the individuals goals and requirements. Fantastic location in the heart of Beckenham and easy parking. If you want exceptional training and to see results then go to Form Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Carole at Form Fitness has encouraged me on a life changing training programme which has helped me Not only with rehab but has taught me about the benefits of core strength and flexibility to get the most out Of your body while leading an active lifestyle. Carole and the team at Form fitness have a professional, encouraging and supportive approach to training and while it is challenging it is alway fun. I would recommend Form fitness to anyone wanting a positive road to better fitness and health.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly atmosphere with a great variety of equipment and very knowledgeable team. Keep you up to date on things and great extra outside classes. Supportive and encouraging. Much as I don't love exercise I do enjoy going but don't tell Janelle that!

Fantastic experience: Walking into the door of Form Fitness three years ago proved to be simply the best investment I could have made in my health and fitness. Janelle and Carole are the best trainers you could ever hope to find - with their coaching and support I have gained so much in fitness, mobility, strength etc that I could never ever have achieved on my own just going to a gym. What I love (but don't tell them that :-) ) is how they hold me accountable for every single thing we do together and they also keep me focused. Yes, the sessions can be very, very challenging and the next day(s) I am feeling it, but every session I find I can do even more. I am so grateful to be working with world-class trainers (and yes, their credentials put them in this league)!

Fantastic experience: Loving Form Fitness! Four weeks ago I puffed up the stairs, this week I took them two at a time. The instructors encourage you to try things you think you can't do, they push you pass your 'comfort' zone, but at the same time you feel safe. Safe in that they are constantly checking your posture. They are aware of any existing injuries / operations and work on strengthening these. I've just started the group classes as well. Initially very nervous about group work outs I soon found out I had nothing to worry about. The class participants are all very friendly and supportive. Five stars definitely.

Fantastic experience: Very thorough & professional. The balance assessment by Janelle was detailed & extremely useful. Training by Therese is tailored exactly to what my body needs. She breaks more challenging actions down so I can push as far as my injuries allow. The equipment is very good. I've gone much further with Form Fitness than I ever managed in a regular gym & in a much more pleasant environment! I feel much stronger. I feel safe & supported here.
