HCC - Hale Compound Conditioning

Fantastic experience: HCC is more than just a Gym! It's a strong community of amazing like minded people who share the same core values and really look after each other like whanau. Our coaches are skilled, experienced and always approachable. I've been a member of this epic community for 10+ years and have made beautiful life long friendships during this time. HCC HQ is my safe and happy place, like a second home. Come and join us ! Hewi :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a part of the HCC whānau for about 3 months now and can hands down say it has been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. HCC is truly like no other gym I’ve been to before. The coaches are AMAZING people who are down to earth and are always there to help you no matter who you are or where you’re from. The environment is unmatched ‍ from the workouts to the music to the whānau around you. I feel a true sense of belonging at every training I go to and always leave with a tomato face and a smile from ear to ear

Fantastic experience: Safe space, awesome peope, allll the vibes. This gym is everything I needed and more. From day one I felt welcomed and seen no matter what level you’re at you’re treated with manaakitanga. Lots of encouragement and solid coaching. As a māmā who’s always got tamariki, the kids area is a huuuge win. Heated, safe and full of toys. I can train in peace knowing they’re algoodies. Coaches are always checking in, making sure you’re good, helping you out and giving alternatives when needed. Youll def feel supported the whole time e hoa maa! And the sounds? Always on, neva off lol! Good sounds are a must for me and this gym never misses. I’m vibing between sets every time So nau mai whaanau!!! Come and join the best gym in the 03

Fantastic experience: I'd consider still being a newbie at this gym but it's so welcoming from the moment you walk through the door. Both owners (Corey & Manu) are equipped with the knowledge to provide alternatives for those with injuries. The members are also really encouraging and help you give the best you can at each work out.

Fantastic experience: Most inviting environment! 10am classes are a vibe recommend to everyone any fitness level !

Fantastic experience: HCC have genuinely changed my life. I’ve been coming for about 4 months now and it has been nothing but growth for all parts of my wellbeing which they are HUGE on. The trainers are the kindest people who care so much for the community. All workouts are scalable all you have to do is show up and be intentional, even if you’re injured! I haven’t been to a gym like HCC where the trainers care about how you show up in all parts of your life! They helped me with momentum and now my foot ain’t coming off the gas baby! Don’t believe me? Get in here!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to HCC for nearly five years now. It's an amazing fitness community—very whānau-oriented, with no egos—just genuine encouragement and support. The environment is welcoming, and everyone lifts each other up. I highly recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: HCC truly feels like a second home. The coaches, the community, and the overall vibe are so welcoming and completely judgement-free. Even if you’ve missed a few weeks, you’re always welcomed back with open arms. I’ve made great progress with my strength, especially through the weightlifting and Olympic lifting classes. The coaches put a strong focus on proper movement and technique, which has made a huge difference. Class times are super convenient — 5:30am, 5pm, 5:45pm, and even 10am sessions. I also love how thoughtful they are towards parents. There’s a kids’ area visible from the training space, which means I can bring my little one along. On Friday evenings, he happily hangs out with the toys and books while I get my session in. Honestly, I love this place and highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love the friendly whanau vibe.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with very supportive trainers only wanting the best for your health and wellbeing. Scalable workouts and emphasis on your own pace which is fantastic. Highly recommend trying the free trial and you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Christchurch What initially drew me to HCC was that there was a space for my kids to hang out while I worked out. What I found though was an amazing community of individuals who all support each other to achieve their goals. Manu, Corey and the other trainers have helped me so much with my fitness goals and have encouraged and supported when I want to give up sometimes. I highly recommend this gym to everyone no matter what your fitness ability is.

Fantastic experience: Nga mihi nui mo to aroha me to tautoko ki to tatou iwi - mauri ora!

Fantastic experience: Joining HCC has genuinely been life-changing for me. From the moment I stepped into their space, I felt something different – a strong sense of whanaungatanga and connection. It’s more than a place to train – it’s a kaupapa built on values where manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, aroha are lived every day. Everyone is seen, known, and supported. What makes HCC so special is the whānau feeling they’ve created amongst their members. There’s a deep sense of care and collective uplift – you’re not just another number here. Whether you're an experienced athlete or just starting out, they meet you where you’re at, push you when you need it, and hold space for rest when your body asks for it. That balance has made all the difference for me. Personally, the gains I’ve made in strength have flowed directly into my everyday life. My 98-year-old koro had a fall recently, and because of the strength I’ve built through HCC, I was able to lift him off the floor and care for him. In another moment that I’ll never forget, my teenage daughter was injured during a netball game. As a solo mum, being able to scoop her up and carry her in my arms – to be her safe place – meant everything. That strength, that ability, is something I carry with pride. And it’s thanks to HCC – for seeing me, believing in me, and guiding me every step of the way. Hands down, joining HCC has been the best decision I’ve made when it comes to my hauora and fitness journey in Ōtautahi. If you’re looking for a place that builds not just your body but your wairua too, this is it!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym community! Everyone is so supportive and welcoming. Have only been here a few months but I feel like I’ve been here forever! Corey & Manu are amazing trainers & whānau orientated. Love the whole vibe of HCC ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: love everything HCC does for individuals, families and community. Give it a go you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing supportive whanau vibe to train

Fantastic experience: Love this safe place to train and to be comfortable in my own skin. Great people, great vibes, awesome trainers who help you every step of the way. Great to be back after a few years away. Cheers HCC

Fantastic experience: I joined HCC about a month ago and I have never enjoyed exercising this much in my life . Such a warm welcoming vibe, great results . Wouldn’t go anywhere else . So happy , Thanks Corey and Koren

Fantastic experience: More than just a gym! Great whānau vibes with a team of coaches who are there for the people! Always ready to adjust things for us if need be. Always a good time had!

Fantastic experience: HCC is by far one of the best group fitness gyms in Christchurch. Thanks Corey, Manu and the rest of the team for creating such a welcoming and encouraging space, especially for someone who doesn't feel incredibly comfortable in gym settings. I joined HCC while going through a difficult time, looking to be surrounded by motivated people to help get me through and keep positive. It has done (and continues to do!) more for my mental and physical health than any other place could have. THANKS TEAM!

Fantastic experience: Life changing experience - I’ve learnt to love working out not only for my physical health but for my mental and spiritual wellbeing. My kids are also apart of the kaupapa so they feel comfortable in this space. The trainers are caring and inspiring and when the DJ is on point there’s nothing better. ❤️ Im still here almost 10years later….. Grateful and blessed

Fantastic experience: G.O.A.T! The best...HANDS DOWN!

Fantastic experience: I've only just started going to this gym and being a big girl, it is awesome to be working out with ladies like myself, I love it and recommend it to anyone who wants strengthen their selves and of course better their well-being

Fantastic experience: I love the whanau/community vibe at HCC. They support all types of people to better themselves and there health. I would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely whanau-centric, supportive and know their stuff. They work with you and walk the talk!

Fantastic experience: Great work out after having my baby but was very sore afterwards

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, people and atmosphere! Its like working out with ya besty. When i first started lifting i couldnt lift an 8kg dumbell, fast 4wrd a few, set an unofficial power lifting record, entered a body building comp with other team mates/buddies from HCC ❤. Your pace, your effort, your time. Well worth the experiences in a safe and supportive environment!

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoy the classes, I always work up a sweat. The trainers are engaging with us while working out and very encouraging. The gym has a strong community vibe and it even has a cool space for the kids to hang while training ✌

Fantastic experience: Hcc is my happy place!! I have been attending for 5ish years & have been supported, encouraged & inspired not only from the trainers but the hcc community. The programming is done in house & everything we do can be adjusted to any individual to work around ability or injury, so nothing can get in the way of us reaching our goals & potential. I attend group trainings as well as our strength/weight training classes & love them both. It took me a while to sign up for weight training as I thought you had to be a certain type of 'muscle bound beef cake' to do this type of exercise. Once I started I wondered why I waited to long to give it ago, my stereotypical view was very wrong! I have been doing this now for 3ish years & love the challenge both physically & mentally that this type of training gives me. Some days I walk out feeling like I slayed that & other days I feel like I'm a beginner but that's what keeps things interesting & keeps me coming back for more. If you're new or have been coming for a while & haven't tried weight training, don't think about it just try it, you won't regret it & your body, mind & soul will thank you for it!!

Fantastic experience: I went in feeling super nervous and self conscious, the minute I walked through the door everyone was super welcoming! Great trainers and great community. Its not your typical gym. ITS WHANAU! ❤

Fantastic experience: I love the lifting sessions. Not only am I getting stronger but I’m losing (fat) weight slowing along the way. You also get to meet some cool people and over time those people become your mates and you look forward to your next lifting session. Thats the same with the trainers, they are NOT just your trainer. The trainers will help those who are beginners and show you the right technique so you dont hurt yourself. Everyone’s fitness is different, someone could be fitter or stronger than you but the whole lifting class do the same workout. No pretentious people in the lifting whare. GIVE IT A GO come and join us.

Fantastic experience: Nowhere else in my life have I ever experienced the level of care, respect and inclusiveness than this place! The building is cool but what really makes it is the two brainchilds of this kaupapa. Corey and Manu unconditionally have sacrificed so much so that others can experience the culture of HCC. They are caring , loving and sharing. The paramount consideration for this power couple is on the outcome and not the income. Everyone loves them and their attitude. Their skills are second to none and always have everyones needs and abilities in mind. They saved me

Fantastic experience: HCC is a family based health and well-being initiative that’s run by people from our own Chch community who live and breathe the strong Ōtautahi spirit. They are always on call and will help where they can. Definitely recommend HCC not just for fitness but kai and nutrition as well.

Fantastic experience: HCC is by far the BEST gym and community I have had the privilege of being apart of. They have a holistic view of health which is woven throughout every aspect of the services offered. I do the group fitness, weightlifting classes and get a nutrition plan. The combination of these provide me with solid overall support to help me reach my goals. The weightlifting programming is world class! It's challenging and fun. There is a particular focus on safety, longevity and injury prevention which makes me feel confident and safe. Can't speak highly enough of this awesome gym!

Fantastic experience: My experience with HCC has been nothing short of amazing. The team of coaches have helped me reach so many of my personal goals both physically and mentally. Manu and Corey have done an awesome job in creating an environment that is extremely welcoming and whānau-like which makes working out so much more enjoyable. The gym space is always clean and tidy with useful facilities too. The best gym ever!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! The trainers are really supportive, letting you go at your own pace and are proactive at giving options to scale or adapt exercises where needed. Classes are always different week to week and it has a great community feel. I'd recommend to anyone at any level of fitness!

Fantastic experience: Been going for not even 6 months and already loving it. The trainers make even a newbie like me feel confident. Currently attending weight lifting, group classes and get nutrition plans from them, they are so easy to communicate with and make it an easy process to start! Not just a gym but a great community to be apart of! 5 starts doesn’t do them justice by far the best gym!!

Fantastic experience: From the amazing trainers to the incredible community that they have built, I highly reccomend and encourage you to try HCC yourself! My experience here has been life changing, they have provided me with far more than just a gym. They will support you, inspire you, motivate you and encourage you. I love their mahi, their people, their music, their facilities and most of all I love how they can make such a positive impact on your life! Very grateful to be part of the awesome HCC whanau

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym! Weight training was a real point of difference that sets this gym apart from competitors but the group training is also amazing. Classes are capped at 20 so trainers are readily available to offer advice, scale exercises or show alternatives (handy if you are rehabing an injury). Always clean, equipment is new and trainers are professional, approachable and really care about your results!

Fantastic experience: Great supportive coaches and love how whānau oriented HCC is. We're able to workout together with our kids right there in eyes view whilst we train and get those gains. Best gym outfit

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been too. Amazing trainers, welcoming atmosphere and everyone is friendly. Could not fault this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great fitness goals an family oriented

Fantastic experience: An amazingly supportive hauora (wellbeing) club
