BuildaBody Mt. Cook

Fantastic experience: The owner is so friendly. Has a good chat, very welcoming. I'm a big fan of free weights and not using machines. There is lots of space for movements with bars/DB and body weight. There is not many machines. So a good understanding of movements or a PT could benefit for new members. For me it's exactly what I enjoy. Not too busy, lots of room. Plenty of weights.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at BuildaBody Mount Cook for almost 18 months now, and I absolutely love it. From the start, it’s been more than just a gym — it’s a supportive and motivating community. The coaches genuinely care, and the structure of the classes is top-notch. The programming is something I specifically like. Everything is designed with progress in mind, and if you stay consistent, you will see results — physically and mentally. I’ve built so much confidence in myself since joining, and I look forward to every session. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness in a positive, empowering environment.

Fantastic experience: Marcus and the team are amazing instructors. You get a genuine sense that they care about the wellbeing of the people who walk through their doors. Could not recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Greta and friendly PTs, easy access, really good prices and a great vibe with lots of people at different levels. This is a really good gym for all the people who feel they want to get into gym.

Positive experience: I enjoy the variety of weight strengthening exercises within the group and the group unknowingly help me to keep motivated, the gym is spacious and clean and Marcus is a perceptive instructor, asking crucial questions. Since then, I have made a big effort to get the right amount of sleep due to my work schedule, still working on eating the right amount of protein daily, and reduced my chocolate consumption big time. I would recommend BuildaBody Mt Cook cause the people are friendly and it has a positive vibe.

Positive experience: 6th session in(Second week and going 3 times a week). I'm very new to weights / lifting bar / gym equipment / how to do the exercise / how to place body/feet&hands. Like - I've never done this sort of thing before, but it's been okay & body feels a good sore. 3 Stars - Fresh As & Still Learning.

Fantastic experience: Really appreciate the friendly encouraging approach taken by Joe. It’s clear he has a plan each day that builds from what we did previously. He listens to me with any concerns about old injuries etc and has built a programme with those in mind. A great way to start the day/ thanks Joe.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed working out in the classes. Super nice people, great work out and familiar atmosphere. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym. Highly Recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing personal trainers and classes at BuildaBody . Incredibly well equipped gym with a positive environment and great equipment. I have been going to BuildaBody for years now and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment, while making very noticeable progress towards my own goals.

Fantastic experience: A great atmosphere with trainers who care about your goals and willing to help you. With plenty of space and modern clean equipment makes this an enjoyable space to train

Positive experience: Wasn't what I was expecting -Gym lacks equipment. Manager wasn't quite approachable & lacked the social skills to aide in ensuring my experience with the gym is good... you have to download a bunch of apps prior. And then ensure you're using the generally curated apps - that don't feel personalized to you & go by them. I will stick with my commercial gym. I didn't feel comfortable. I see the programmes offered at discounts, as a ploy to help fund the gym.

Fantastic experience: I am an ultrarunner and joined in 2023. The weekly workouts targeting core, upper body and lower body have greatly increased by recovery times. Thanks Kieren and team.

Fantastic experience: I am not usually a gym goer, however, I have been enjoying my journey over the past 3 weeks at BuildABody. BuildABody is a spacious and relaxed gym with plenty of great equipment. I am particularly enjoying my training sessions with Joe. One of the aspects I appreciate most about working out with Joe is his is Joe's attention to detail. He tailors each session to my specific needs, taking into account my strengths, weaknesses, and personal fitness objectives. Joe has made the sessions varied and interesting. He introduces new exercises just at the right pace to keep things engaging without making them feel intimidating. To anyone out there who might be hesitant about starting their fitness journey, especially at a gym, I can wholeheartedly recommend BuildABody Mount Cook.

Fantastic experience: A truly special gym with a team that really cares. Can't imagine working out anywhere else❤️

Fantastic experience: I've never enjoyed the gym and found exercise a slog. Not anymore. Absolutely love the classes, and how I feel afterwards. It's addictive! Thanks Build a Body.

Fantastic experience: Three weeks into group fitness classes and already seeing the positive effects on my life and importantly, they're enjoyable workouts. Thanks Marcus and Mitch.

Fantastic experience: Best decision ever to join BuildaBody CBD! I've gone from strength to strength with the incredible support and guidance from the coaches here. I've always loved working out but I've really found my home and fitness community here. The coaches get to know you well and the advice and help they give you is always in line with you personally. The head coach quickly becomes one of your favorite humans and the vibe and culture he's grown here is what keeps so many of us coming back. Highly highly recommend this place!!

Fantastic experience: Just finished a month training with these guys. I'm so stoked I joined up and will absolutely continue. The trainers are just so lovely, the clients come in all shapes, sizes, levels of strength and fitness and there is zero judgement. I'm in my mid 40s and didn't think gyms were my style but this is 40 minute classes, you're guided each step of the way and motivated to do your best throughout. I'm feeling fitter, stronger, sleeping better, have way more energy and better general quality of life. And that's only a month. Super flexible hours that you can make work with your preferences/commitments. Do this!
