BFT Ponsonby: Reviews

4.8/5 (48 Reviews)

Negative experience: First time attending BFT Ponsonby and none of the coaches spoke to me. I was not helped in any of the exercises and had to self manage. I had knee surgery 9 weeks ago and was hoping to be helped with swapping out exercises but just felt unseen the entire class, even though I did manage to tell one of the coaches. Pretty disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent visit to BFT Ponsonby. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectation, that’s never what we want for anyone attending our studio, especially for a first session and while returning from injury.

We’ve reviewed what happened during that class with our coaching team, and it appears that our coaches did check in with you briefly and provided exercise guidance. That said, we absolutely understand that you may have still felt unsupported, and we’re sorry that this was your takeaway from the session.

Our goal is always to make every member feel seen, safe, and looked after, so we’ll take your feedback on board and ensure our team continues to be proactive in offering assistance and modifications.

We’d love to invite you back for another session so we can provide the experience you were hoping for. Please reach out directly to Sam (studio manager) 0277667238 so we can personally help tailor your next workout and support your recovery if this is what you are after,.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts — your feedback helps us improve and strengthen our community.

Fantastic experience: The staff are the best! The perfect balance of friendly, encouraging, chill and knowledgeable. I love how the weeks are all structured for me so I can just arrive and get straight into it. Each day is made up of multiple sessions of the same class so if you miss your usual time, you can come to another and know that you’re getting the same workout. Ooooh and the heart monitors and the tracking is also another highlight!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend BFT Ponsonby enough! I am approaching 50 and am fairly active but noticed that my weight kept edging up, my clothes kept getting tighter and I just found it harder to lose the weight than it used to be. But BFT Ponsonby has completely changed all that in just 8 intense and satisfying weeks! I was slightly nervous about embarking on the 8 week challenge but the coaches have been epic, reassuring and helpful! The nutrition plan is excellent, adaptable and has great information which I will keep using even after I finish. The workouts are challenging yet achievable and highly motivating, and the technology and science behind everything is amazing and most importantly gets results!

Fantastic experience: Great gym right in the heart of Ponsonby - check out their intro specials (always something good going for new members!). So easy to stay consistent and achieve your goals with their fab programming and awesome trainers ! Friendly community, super clean facilities & access to EVOLT body scanner for progress check ins. Oh and the gym is dog friendly too

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I have been to many gyms before but no-where quite like BFT Ponsonby. I feel thoroughly encouraged every time I go. The trainers know my strengths and weaknesses and push me to my limits even on my off days. Love this place.

Marina S Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome group fitness focused gym with excellent trainers. I like that they have well organised strength based classes with lots of heavy lifts on offer and not just cardio. The progression system and overall timetabling for the classes are also well structured. The atmosphere and culture is second to none and makes working out something to look forward to!

Fantastic experience: Nothing beats joining a class with multiple likeminded people who want to get fit while enjoying a group motivated class. Trainers are friendly, professional and know their stuff!

Chai Somasunder Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best training space I’ve been to so far. All the coaches are soooo motivating and push you to get the best results. They are super supportive, be it in the gym or even outside. They always respond to any queries silly or not, no judgements. ☺️ I love how flexible the membership is, you can attend classes at any branch. You’re not stuck to one branch, but nevertheless, BFT ponsonby is my fav!
