ONI | Personal Training Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: After two years of neglecting the gym, I joined ONI with a few goals in mind: to stay active, enjoy the process, achieve my first pull-up by the end of the year, and improve my handstands. Nic became my trainer, and thanks to his expertise, I nailed my first pull-up within just two months! His knowledge and guidance in handstands were incredible, helping me improve my balance and build strength, all while making it fun. What truly reignited my passion for fitness was the atmosphere at ONI. The team fosters a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, and even the smallest wins are celebrated. Being part of such a supportive community motivated me to keep showing up and push myself in every workout. I'm so grateful for the ONI team for bringing the spark back to my fitness journey!
It’s been such a pleasure seeing all the progress and gains you’ve made this year! We’re all so proud thanks so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wellington hands down! Awesome, knowledgeable and super chill staff, great range of equipment and atmosphere (a lot of niche stuff you wouldn't find elsewhere). Would highly recommend!
Thanks Tony! So glad you’re enjoying your time with us
Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Oni when I was looking to find a way to get on top of some injuries and work towards some training goals. I've been training with Laurent for over a year and it's the best investment for my health and well-being — wish I started earlier! Laurent has an amazing eye for detail and knows his stuff. The gym is also in a convenient spot with awesome equipment and vibes. Carsten is also the best sport's massage therapist in town! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review Rosie! So awesome to see you progress towards those goals you’re doing so good!
Fantastic experience: I joined ONI after discovering Calisthenics. Nic is my PT. I highly recommend ONI, Nic and the team. Nic’s passion and experience on Calisthenics is inspiring, the gym has a great vibe and lots of good quality equipment for the type of exercises I wanted to do, and the entire team of trainers is always super friendly! I love this calisthenics journey at ONI. I am getting stronger, having fun and not only recovering from an old injury but also not getting injured again thanks to the paced progressions. I really recommend you give calisthenics and ONI a go. The best thing you can do for your physical and mental health ❤️
Thanks so much Andrea! It’s been awesome seeing you consistently striving towards your goals keep up the great work!!
Fantastic experience: Oni Gym is my safe place. This is a private gym with a wholesome culture. Everyone works hard and grinds down. Typically when you touch base with oni you are paired with a trainer. Laurent does this and nails it every time. I'm so very lucky to have paired with G! He's fantastic, however so are the rest of the team there. Whoever you work with they genuinely really care. If you are nervous this is the gym for you! I will see you there!
Thanks for the lovely words Hollie! You’re an absolute pleasure to have in our space. Those banana breads are ridiculous as well Keep those gains up! You’re getting so strong with Guillaume
Fantastic experience: Went to Oni for a month while I was staying in Wellington. Great gym, had all the equipment I needed and was never too busy at night when went. Other people and Staff were very friendly and Laurent who set me up when I first started was very easy to talk to and had all the answers for any questions I had.
Thanks Nathan!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been to in Wellington. Supportive atmosphere that makes going to the gym regularly very easy. With personal trainers that offer helpful tips and encouragement.
Thanks Ash! It’s been awesome seeing your consistency and progression through the year!! Keep up the awesome work
Fantastic experience: Diego has been my online coach for 2 years now. I have made immense progress in my fitness and wellbeing journey. I highly recommend him. ONI app is a nice addition to reach my goals, it is easy to use and has videos of all exercises.
Fantastic experience: estou fazendo meus treinos com o Diego Salles, a melhor consultoria possível, ele é super atencioso e explica de uma maneira muito fácil de se conduzir o treino, estou muito impressionado com os resultados
Thank you Wesley!
Fantastic experience: Exactly what I needed! I’ve got Diego for personal trainer and couldn’t get any better. I’ve been working with him for the past 6 months and the progress and results I’m obtaining are incredible. My workout plan is prepared to fit my routine and is the perfect balance between challenging and enjoyable. I highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the review! Stoked you and Diego are getting great results, keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: Working with Nic Boisset as my personal trainer has been a game changer. I have found his sessions diverse and interesting especially when we move away from standard weight training exercises to techniques like hand-balancing and calisthenics. Nic is motivating and encouraging and I cant recommend him enough, especially if you’re looking for personal training with a twist.
Thanks so much Craig! It’s been awesome seeing you guys doing those creative and fun sorts of movements looking forward to seeing you smash those pull ups at some point too
Fantastic experience: Diego is absolutely great. He has built a program that motivates and challenges me, but keeping in mind mu previous injuries. The app is amazing to keep track of progression and show how each exercise should be performed. Overall, everything is perfect!
Thanks so much for the review Fer! Awesome to hear you are enjoying the app and Diego’s program for you
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Carsten for massage for must be several years now, I am quite the massage connoisseur if I say so myself, and Carsten ranks right up the top in my very picky rankings. Highly skilled, he has the TOUCH and if you get massages you will know what I mean, if you don’t you are missing out! Each massage is a bespoke experience that is calibrated not only to where my body is at but my mind too. Some people are worth their weight in gold.
Thank you so much for your words Leonie! Carsten will be so pleased, especially coming from someone who’s had so much experience with massage
Fantastic experience: I just spent 6 months in New Zealand on a sabbatical: and I spent most of them as a client of Laura Dyson's - with whom Laurent, the charming and smart and kind owner of this gym, matched me as soon as he heard about my a) injuries and b) ... lady problems. I actually don't know the right superlatives for Laura. I have a superb trainer at home in Canada, but Laura is just in another league: an academic researcher in the field; a physio; a nutritionist; a kind and warm and funny soul. She is a verified expert - and she's also just full of good sense and loves learning new things. She got me with a nasty lower back injury from gardening, a wonky elbow from falling and breaking it, and my usual pelvic floor and pain problems. By the time we finished - 3 x training per week, with breaks when I was travelling around touristing - all those problems were MUCH better. Indeed my back was completely fixed: the relief is intense. I had learned to bench press and deadlift (I've gone from novice to beginner in lifting - heading to intermediate, and loving it so much I am sure I will get there!) My aerobic fitness improved along with my strength, I lost body fat without losing muscle - I gained muscle! Best of all, I ended feeling as fit and healthy and confident in myself as I have felt since I was playing lots of sport in my teens. Or maybe ever because been a teenager isn't that fun. Hooray for middle age! Laura: you are an angel. Folks wondering about ONI? DO IT. Brilliant place, brilliant people.
Wow, thanks so much for these lovely words Alex! It’s been so cool having you in these past months. Such a pleasure to see and hear of your progress! Laura and I are so so pleased and proud. Laurent
Fantastic experience: I'm training with Nic. If you're looking for a PT with enthusiasm, who can teach regressions and progressions to help you reach your handstand goals, and who will celebrate all of your progressions with you, get in touch with Nic. He makes learning fun.
Thanks so much for the review Kate! Nic will be stoked so glad you’re enjoying your handstand journey.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Nic for about 6 months now with a goal to build strength to supplement my yoga practice. He is a super encouraging, thoughtful and intuitive PT who listens to what I need. He thoughtfully gives me space to rest when it makes sense or pushes me just enough when he knows I can do more. I’m seeing progression not only in my strength but also in my confidence as I get closer to my current stretch goal of free standing handstands. I look forward to every session, even the core work!
Thanks Fiona! It’s awesome to hear that you’re progressing so well!! Keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: Really cool gym, well kitted out. PT sessions with Diego Salles, who is fantastic. Have been having sessions with him for a year now and as someone who previously hated going to the gym, I always look forward to my sessions. Diego is super chill and knowledgeable, sessions are an education as well as a workout. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the review Alastair! So happy you have been enjoying your sessions with Diego, especially if you haven’t enjoyed going to the gym before! So awesome
Negative experience: I had a massage with Carsten a few weeks ago and I wanted to give some honest feedback. He was late for my appointment, the room was cold, he did not bother to do a client form to find out about my health issues, and his bedside manner was unprofessional, rude and arrogant. He launched straight into the massage by using rough elbows along my back, and spent most of the time going back to and vigorously rubbing a painful spot next to my spine. This was actually one of my ribs that I had surgery on years ago, and despite me asking him to either back off or leave it alone he continued to try and release it. I am a muscular guy and I've been to many therapists in the past so I was surprised he was so persistent. Have been bruised for weeks and it has been much worse overall since I saw him. This has resulted in time off work and sleepless nights. Very annoyed and disappointed with the service I received.
Hi Sam, we are terribly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us. That is definitely not the standard we pride ourselves in having at ONI as some of the best massage therapists in Wellington.Client safety, comfort, communication, and quality of service is of utmost importance to us so please be assured that we will take all necessary steps to prevent this from happening again, from any of our sports massage therapists.We'd like to extend a full refund to you, but can't seem to find you on our system or anyone who fits your description and health history.

We take all feedback very seriously so if there is anything else we can do to address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at the above email address.Laurent Founder
Fantastic experience: Saw Carsten for a massage last week, great use of elbows to get into all the tight spots. By far one of the best massages I've had in years. He was professional and listened to me.
Thanks for the review Ash! Very happy to hear you enjoyed your massage with Carsten!
Fantastic experience: You can get top notch personal training without paying long term gym membership. The team are professional and super friendly. Working out in the gym feels more relaxed and there are niche equipment (like ski machines and self powered treadmill) that are rare. Enjoying it here.
Thank you for the review Alma
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff ✨
Thanks Tahlia!
Fantastic experience: Second floor opening is so epic!! Loving the layout, coffee machine and most importantly the hip thrust station
Thanks Kaitlin! So pumped you like the hip thrust station ❤️
Fantastic experience: FINALLY a gym in Wellington that has floor space to do handstands!! ONI is a clean, tidy, spacious and professionally operated gym. As a high performance athlete with a background in ballet, Pilates and Ex-Army trained, I appreciate the care ONI takes in ensuring their staff are highly qualified and certified. I have worked closely with Laurent Pang and more recently Alex Buchanan for over 12 months. I am impressed with Laurent's commitment to ONI's staff being regularly upskilled, ONI is a reflection of his high standards. Becoming invincible is inevitable at ONI
Yay for handstands! It’s been so awesome to witness your progression, you’ve come so far!Thanks so much for the review Madee
Fantastic experience: ONI is honestly the best - as a casual powerlifter I’d struggled with my squat form for a couple of years before finally visiting this gym, and OMG I wish I’d done it sooner! Laurent had several tweaks for me to make, helped me implement them, and I can’t overstate how quickly I’ve noticed the improvements. Hit an all-time PB and even entered my first powerlifting competition! Can’t recommend them enough!
Thanks so much Pip! Can’t wait to see your continued progress this year
Fantastic experience: Central location stocked with brand new modern ergonomic equipment including ski machines. Knowledgable trainers.
Thank you Phil!
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Oni and their personal trainers are the best in Wellington! My strength, fitness and mobility has skyrocketed by training with their personal trainers. I am active and like to surf, skate and train Muay Thai. Recently I had an injury and I worked with Laurent who has helped me recover quickly, improve strength and also help prevent/minimize future injuries from occuring. He has correctly a lot of issues around my mobility and now I feel amazing and more athletic! His wealth of knowledge is exceptional. I am also loving the gym environment and space there. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much Hai! You’ve been an absolute pleasure to work with keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Totally recommend the team at ONI to anyone I know! They provide excellent personal training and have a team which are dedicated to you. They're based in CBD Wellington and are a quick pop-in away! - Become Invincible
#BecomeInvincible Thanks Ricky!
Fantastic experience: Shout out to my personal trainer Lorena! We have been working together for a year at Oni and it has been a fantastic journey for me. Lorena is really invested in helping me achieve my goals through fitness and nutrition in a non regimented or intimidating way like a lot of gyms and I have seen huge results. Highly recommend
Thank you so much Emily! Will make sure to pass this on to Lorena, she will be so pleased keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: Amazing and supportive trainers. Don’t even think about it. Go to ONI!
Thanks Zen!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wellington, hands down.
Thanks Gabrielle
Fantastic experience: Great team and equipment! 5 stars
Thanks Chris!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and excellent people! ❤️
Thanks Jeremy!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Have been training here with Adam for a few years and seeing great results. Never too busy which is a big bonus.
Thanks so much Shisca! Adam is great
Fantastic experience: Probably the best personal training venue in Wellington with proficient skilled staff eager to help all age groups and competence levels. I have been training there for over 2 years. Certainly, worth the cost.
Thanks so much Javier!
Fantastic experience: The team at ONI are some of the friendliest, welcoming and knowledgable people you could hope to have along your fitness journey, i recommend them to the fullest, if you want to increase you fitness, rehab an injury or have a goal you want to reach, get in touch with them! - Jai
Thanks so much Jai!
Fantastic experience: Came to Laurent after a historic disk injury turned into painful sciatica. My lower back has caused me issues for the best part of the last 10 years, so the sciatic pain was the kick up the arse to sort it properly. I worked with Laurent for 3 months, coming in once I needed exercise progressions. My back pain is now completely gone and I’m able to play sport again pain free. Couldn’t recommend ONI enough. Really nice people and a relaxed environment to train/ learn.
Thanks for the review CJ! And that's so awesome to hear you are back at sport pain free. Keep up the great momentum you've created for yourself!
Fantastic experience: Laurent and his team are fantastic, kind and professional and the environment is welcoming and friendly. ONI will really help you work toward whatever goals you may have with a wide range of expertise and focus throughout their team and tailored programs. Carsten is also an excellent masseuse, I will certainly return for more deep tissue work.
Thanks for the review Jesper! Will definitely pass on to the team :)
Fantastic experience: I've been doing weekly sessions with Lorena for over a year now and it's been fantastic. When I first started I was often getting pain in my lower back. Lorena's programme was specifically designed for me and the pain is completely gone. I'm also now much more confident in myself and my body. I never thought I would look forward to going to the gym but I really enjoy my sessions with Lorena and making progress week after week is so satisfying. I highly recommend Lorena and ONI!
Wow that's so great to hear about the lower back pain being gone and the confidence! You've done amazingly to put in the work to achieve that. I'll pass on to Lorena for sure. Thank you so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: Oni offer 1:1 coaching, tailored to your needs, with a variety of trainers across multiple disciplines. I've been working with an amazing strength coach who creates programs to help me hit my goals, while factoring in my other activities like mountain biking. Oni don't do long-term contracts, which gives you flexibility to work with them in a way that suits you. I've found this much more useful than traditional 12-month membership gyms.
Thanks Richard! It's been very cool seeing you and Adam smash goals together
Fantastic experience: I tried ONI after experiencing ongoing post op back issues. I see Adam who has been awesome, the old body has improved significantly, I'm back playing sport and getting amongst every day life without any issues. Highly recommend Adam and the team at ONI, they have been great.
That's amazing Daniel! So awesome to hear you are back playing sport. Adam will be stoked to receive this :)
Fantastic experience: I first started my PT journey with Harriet back in 2021 after a hectic time with lockdown, work and study on the back of several years of shift work. I was really nervous to get started, having never been in a gym before and watching my fitness rapidly decline over the years. But, Harriet put me instantly at ease. Her manner is both positive and encouraging. She has worked alongside me for the last few years and it has honestly been life changing! My goal was to feel strong and empowered with my training and I have achieved that and some! I have gone from not being able to squat without pain to squatting over 60kg! From not being able to deadlift to lifting more than my own body weight. And most importantly, from feeling tired and like I can't keep up to feeling strong and capable. I would highly recommend working with Harriet, she is knowledgeable, encouraging and empowering to train with!
Thanks so much Harriet! So awesome to hear your journey is going well, and deadlifting more than your body weight, that's so amazing! Well done :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lorena at ONI for a while now, and she’s fantastic - thanks to her I’ve gone from being someone who doesn’t feel comfortable exercising or going to the gym to someone who actively looks forward to it every week! I feel like my fitness has improved so much, and even when it’s challenging I know Lorena isn’t going to ask me to do something I’m not capable of, which has also improved my confidence. The gym itself is great too, and the team are very welcoming. I’d absolutely recommend booking in with Lorena at ONI if you’re looking for a new trainer or a new challenge!
Thank you for the lovely words Gail! Lorena will be stoked to hear this, thank you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a fantastic personal training experience with ONI. When I started with Harriet, my shoulders had very limited mobility and there were many basic gym movements I couldn’t do. Harriet has been incredibly patient with my back and shoulder pain while still providing the challenges I need to build strength. Harriet’s attention to detail and encouragement have helped build a positive relationship to the gym and my body. A year on, I am spending most days pain free and am doing movements I thought I’d never be able to do! So stoked to finally be able to squat and deadlift weights without fear of injuring myself. While I still get the occasional flare-up of shoulder and back pain, I feel that Harriet has helped me develop a practice of mindful exercise that empowers me to recover and quickly get back on track with strength building. I would highly recommend Harriet as a personal trainer!
Wow Clarrie, that's awesome! So stoked to hear about the pain free movement, woo! Will definitely make sure to pass this on to Harriet :)
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, super friendly staff who really know their stuff! 10/10 would recommend
Thanks Carolyn! So cool to see you around the gym smashing goals
Fantastic experience: Best functional movement gym in NZ! Laurent and the team are very innovative and are on a mission to help all clients reach their health and wellbeing goals!
Fantastic experience: Incredible space and people. I appreciate how Laurent pairs you with a trainer specific to your style and goal. Actually feel like I'm heard by Oli, he's engaged and cares and I'm excited to go each time. Plus everyone just has fun
Thanks for this Emily! And apologies, we didn't actually see this until now! So glad to hear you're enjoying your sessions with Oli :)
Fantastic experience: I see Oli at Oni, who has helped me get back to progressing at the gym, moving pain free, and dance after a chronic back injury. Oni is a really fantastic studio, with a lot of care put in to ensure the client feels comfortable and empowered in the gym. The holistic/movement approach has enabled me to be more aware of my own movement patterns and for the first time in a long time I've been able to progess all my goals in a sustainable way - reducing risk of burn out and injury. Thanks Oli you are awesome
Very cool to hear about the goal progress, especially after having a chronic back injury - well done! Will relay this to Oli for sure. Thanks for the review Kitty :)
Fantastic experience: I love coming here, laurent has helped me from when I pregnant to right now… 10 months later. He he has worked with me through my highs and lows and works our sessions around me and knows when to push me or when to take it little easier. I love coming here not just for exercising but having someone so empathetic listen too and use his outside perspective to help achieve more bite sized manageable goals. I mean everyone there is great, it’s the first gym I’ve been to where I feel comfortable. It’s a great source of self care for me and I love how much they offer to such a high standard and approachable the people and the gym in. Thank you guys for looking after me
Fantastic experience: I've been working with Adam at ONI for about 18 months now and love it. There's always heaps of space to work out in and you're never waiting to access equipment like you might at a big commercial gym. If you're after some training I'd strongly recommending to having a chat with ONI about what they have to offer.
Thanks for the review Simon! hope you’re excited for the new equipment that’s coming too
Fantastic experience: I've been training through ONI for about 18 months now. It's a really nice environment to train in, and is not a "traditional" gym. There are only so many people there at a time, each trainee with their trainer, meaning there's space to breathe, and equipment is available when it's needed. Carl has been really great to train with. He gives me a physical workout, and I give him a cognitive workout with my ever-changing physical capabilities and pain levels. He's always finding ways to adapt moves and exercises to suit my capacity on the day which is really appreciated. Highly recommend ONI and Carl.
Thanks so much Melissa! And so great to hear you’re enjoying your time at ONI and with Carl. He said that this made his day! :)
Fantastic experience: Best PTs in town
Thanks Rinor!! Hope you're keeping out of trouble ;)
Fantastic experience: amazing team, supportive and motivating. couldn't ask for better
Thanks Rebecca!!
Fantastic experience: If you hate mainstream Gyms, this could be the place for you. I train with Carl, and as an exercise-phobe I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I've enjoyed working out under his instruction. A small studio style gym, with everything you need - without the gym bunnies and crowds.
Thanks for your review Brad! So glad to hear you are enjoying your journey with Carl :) It's very cool seeing you two work together. Looking forward to seeing more headstands!
Fantastic experience: I been lucky enough to work with Coach Matt Jepson coming up just shy of 1 year. knowing Matt on a personal level made the experience even better. I went through a bad knee injury and had surgery done and my No.1 goal was to make sure my knee is free and strong as possible. Working with Matt I got to learn a whole new level of understanding movements and how joints should move on a normal body, his attention to details was for sure an eye opener for me and working with Matt step by step I gained a lot of confidence in my knee but also learnt so much on how to keep my body & knee healthy. Being a footballer and a sports person himself made it easier to relate A massive Thank you to Coach Matt for helping me though all the way to retuning to play and also for the way he carries himself. I recommend Matt Jepson highly for anyone with an injury or any sports person that is just feeling that their body isn't functioning the way it does. Coach Matt would help you though it step by step. Thanks
Thanks so much for sharing Birhanu and for the lovely words! I'll make sure Matt sees this, he'll be so chuffed :DLaurent
Fantastic experience: I've been lucky enough to work with Carl since June 2020 and he has quite simply changed my life - for me he is the best personal trainer in Wellington! I came to him with my confidence at zero, having injured my knee just before lockdown and feeling pretty low about what my body could do. I immediately found Carl a warm and friendly person, who I clicked with and I knew that we would make a good team. Carl helped me to rehabilitate my knee and start to do things (like deadlifts, kettlebell swings and press-ups) that I never thought I would do. Although I work directly with Carl all the other staff at ONI are very friendly and welcoming and are genuinely interested and excited in my progress. If you want to work with the best personal training team in town, give them a call!
This is absolutely touching Hannah, thank you so much for the review! It's been so amazing seeing you progress in the gym with Carl.Laurent
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend ONI gym more. I have been working with Carl for a year now and he is a fantastic personal trainer. Carl is very easy to get along with and he really invests in you as a person. His focus is on your holistic health (including diet, sleep, stress, etc), not just working you out in the gym. Training with Carl is the right balance of fun and a challenge, and he tailors each session to your needs - whether that be a stretch/ rehab day, or a push. I absolutely love training at ONI - all the staff and clients are super lovely and get along really well. It’s a great atmosphere to train in.
Thanks so much Amelia! Love seeing you smash it here!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Carl for anyone looking for a personal trainer in Wellington! Carl has a ton of experience and knowledge, and he's great at working with complete beginners too. He makes every session fun, challenging and engaging while tailoring things to meet your needs. He’s got a great sense of humour and sessions with him always have me laughing. I definitely recommend working with Carl if you’re given the chance. Thank you again Carl and the rest of the ONI team!
Thanks Niamh! So glad to hear you're enjoying Carl's Dad jokes
Fantastic experience: I was on the 6 week challenge created by ONI. The community there was really informative and was a one stop shop for exercise and nutrition. The challenge was well worth it because it encourages you cook your own meals which equates to saving money. Laurent and the community also provided some awesome nutritional recipes. Cheers team oni and the 6 week challenge community
Thanks Manh!
Fantastic experience: I did the ONI 6 week nutrition challenge and I have to say I enjoyed it, learnt a few things and it was easy to work into my lifestyle. Very educational and supportive group made it easier and fun! It helped establish better eating habits in a simple but fun way!
Thanks Haris! Keep up all your hard work! Smashing it.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the ONI 6 Week challenge and achieved some amazing results!! I could not have transformed so much in the short amount of time, without their support. The program showed us how we can change our lives, in a holistic and step by step process. Instead of just following a meal and workout plan, we learnt the importance of many factors including sleep, goal setting, training, nutrition, etc. This enabled me to recognize and mitigate unhealthy habits. Whilst, building/developing healthy habits and learning how to stay consistent with these. A big lesson I learnt, was progress over perfection. This really helped me continue to develop these healthy habits after I finished the challenge. In turn, I have been able to stay motivated and feeling great. Laurent is a pleasure to work with and I would love to take part again.
Fantastic experience: I've been competing at an international level and training as a high performance athlete for many years and I can safely say I have never come across a more helpful, thoughtful team than the personal trainers at ONI. They can cater to a massive range of clients, rehabilitationfor injuries, pro athletes, aspiring fitness gurus or just the average person who wants to shed the love handles, you will never find a more "PERSONAL" personal training provider than these guys. Anyone in the Wellington area looking to better themselves and Become Invincible need look no further. ONI has got you covered.
Appreciate those kind words Sean!
Fantastic experience: I recently took part in ONI's 6-week nutrition challenge, and I'm completely stoked with my results! I lost 2.9kg over 6 weeks. It was incredibly helpful having the challenge keeping be accountable on a daily basis, as well as providing me with guidelines on how to build good habits and maintain them - throughout the challenge and beyond. I highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: I truly don’t know how to start this really. I’ve got a nutritionist and personal trainer here. Without a doubt I can say it’s changed my life. Yeah you’ll go to other places and they’ll tell you how to lift weights but in reality it’s just a job and some are not great at it. Here at Oni they genuinely care. It’s more like Life Coaching than a type of gym you’ve been used to. Instead of throwing weights around, you can feel the smallest of muscles, movement which was hard or impossible before. Learning to engage parts of your body that probably have been rarely used before. All in a laid back, fun atmosphere. While being helped to eat the right things at the right time. I was scared and apprehensive about going but without a doubt walking through the doors of Oni was one of the best decisions I ever made. Highly recommend you make a visit. The one who made me feel at ease - Laurent The one who feeds me - Emma The one who inspires me - Lydia Best wishes on your journey.
Ed, these words made me feel all kinds of warm things. Thank you so much. It's honestly been such an honour and privilege to be a part of your journey and to have seen/continue to see you grow into who you want to be. You're awesome. I'll make sure to pass this on to Lydia and Emma as well! :)Laurent

Thanks bro!

Fantastic experience: Kia Ora! I can attest that these personal trainers at ONI Wellington will make you work! The personal training sessions get you moving with gracious style and perfection. Try out the massage therapy! It good.
You are the gracious one Abe :) See you in the gym soon!
Fantastic experience: A word of thanks for the great Physio work from Josh @ Oni. Had immense discomfort and pain from a tight thoracic spine that was a result of Chostochondritis. After the first session the pain had subdued immensely and mobility was almost at pre injury levels. Was prescribed thoracic spine mobility exercises that helped me manage the condition independently, and subsequently start getting back to pre injury routines without having to worry about discomfort or pain. The team at Oni are operated by the best and the results are testament to that. Thanks again.
That's amazing to hear Utsav! Keep up the awesome work that you're putting in to your body and rehab!
Fantastic experience: Great experience at ONI in Wellington . Their personal trainers are knowledgeable, friendly and not intimidating. With their support and encouragement I have reached my goal, thank you ONI!
Thank you Alice, keep up with the great work!
Fantastic experience: I've been with Ben Means as my PT at ONI since mid-2018 and I stand behind him and his expertise without hesitation. Crucial to Ben's success is that he treats clients like friends or colleagues (even so far as treating people like, well, people) and listens to feedback. When something works well or you enjoy something, he ups the anti and introduces more; when something isn't working well, he takes the approach of working together to tackle the problem and achieve a sustainable solution; when something hurts, it's a full stop for a while and then gentle rehabilitation starts. I've had my fair share of all three (with particularly bad debilitating injuries), and of all the support I've received from chiropractors, GPs, physiotherapists (and drugs), Ben's understanding habit-building approach has been the key to my continued recovery and motivation. I have rarely met someone as passionate about their trade, where you truly feel as if Ben's purpose in taking you on is to see you become the best version of yourself, rather than seeing you as another walking wallet. Ben's expertise and passion come into nutrition as well as physical training and movement, and I've had the privilege to learn about, and implement, a variety of nutritional habits into my lifestyle. I've recognised that the team at ONI thrives off of the passion of each individual member, and I know I can approach all the PTs confidently with questions about training if I need to. The team knows how to incorporate fitness and fun together flawlessly and there's never a dull moment.
That's amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Since moving to Wellington from the US this team has been so supportive and energizing. I highly recommend working with them. They have a wide range of personal trainers with all kinds of skills. Personally I've worked with Liam and Laurent mostly but have had the pleasure with working with other members of the team.
Thanks Michael! It's been amazing having you around, you're very energising yourself haha, catch you in soon!
Fantastic experience: Was looking for a personal trainer and ONI just had exactly what I wanted. One of the best in Wellington definitely. Laurent Pang just looks after such a ridiculously diverse and educated team. Would recommend for anyone on any type of fitness/movement journey
Thanks for your kind words Oliver! Will make sure to pass on to the team
Fantastic experience: Ben at Oni provided fantastic support and guidance as my nutritional coach, and I’ve really appreciated his professional but grounded and practical advice. Together we worked out the plan, boundaries and key factors needed to get the balance right to support cutting weight while maintaining my training at a high intensity for a kickboxing fight. I went from having a basic understanding of health and fitness training, through to a much more informed, considered and tailored approach that is designed to work best for my physiology and lifestyle. As a result, I’ve had more energy to train, with fewer injuries and better health, all while losing close to 7kgs in three months. Ben has been invaluable on this journey and I can’t recommend Ben and Oni enough!
Thanks Jay Jay! Ben is fantastic. Thanks for those kind words!
Fantastic experience: The team there identified every weak point I currently had. 3 WEEKS was all it took to get rid of the back pain I had been experiencing constantly for over 5 years. The best part was that everything they told me I should do was really simple and easy to do. I've gone to so may different physios and doctors previously, but this was definitely the most pleasant and effective experience. Thanks team!
Thanks Nana! Really happy to hear about the fantastic results. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Wellington for personal training and to increase overall movement. Very informational with advice and exercises to improve body movement and rehabilitation. Great gym to workout in and have fun. Fun and flexible environment to be around while at the same time very professional.
Thank you Vincent. Always happy to have you in! :)
Fantastic experience: ONI | Personal Training Gym is a great studio gym that has personal training, massage and nutrition coaching. The massage therapists are very professional and have helped me work on various movement issues and niggles I have had.
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Laurent at ONI for almost a year now and he's one of if not the best personal trainer I've seen in Wellington. He knows his stuff, pushes you with encouragement and challenges you with new exercises to help you become invincible and achieve your goals. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
Thanks Alex! Keep up the great work you're putting in for your goals :)
Fantastic experience: I've been using Laurent and the ONI team since 2017 (before it was officially ONI). The knowledge and expertise of the Oni crew is outstanding. They have helped with rehab on a couple of injuries that would have taken me out of strength sports, but with correct exercise was able to come back. Also working on prehab and fixing the smaller muscle groups is probably the best thing I could have done.
Thanks Tyler! You're a great athlete to work with
Fantastic experience: Laurent is an awesome personal trainer. Everytime I am pushed out of my comfort zone and leave feeling good and that reaching the goals I have set for myself are achievable. My legs feel great and stronger after each session. Very positive and inviting atmosphere at ONI....highly reccomend.
That's amazing, keep up the good work! Thanks for the review :)
Fantastic experience: Laurent and his team at ONI Wellington are a very professional bunch of personal trainers. Sessions I took were very unique and refreshing, definitely different to the 'usual' routines. Highly recommended, they WILL look after you and help you all the way through to achieve your personal goals.
Thanks Dbae ;) You WILL achieve your goals
Fantastic experience: Haven't been to a gym before that focuses so much on what you are doing outside of the gym, and how to help you in your own sports. Lau and Liam both helped me improve through strengthening, teaching me exercises I can do before and after my swimming, cycling or running training, as well as how to better recover and prevent injuries from happening. Wouldn't have got to the start line without these guys! 11/10 would recommend to endurance athletes (or part-timers like myself).
11/10 would barrel roll for this review - Unknown
Fantastic experience: Honestly, can't speak any higher about Laurent and his team at ONI. They took the stigma out of going to the gym with their friendly and professional attitude about personal training and I've been lucky to have had some great sessions there. I'd tried other places in Wellington but couldn't find a place that could help me figure out my own body in a safe space! Highly Recommended if you want to change the way you move and appreciate your body! A++
Thanks Eman :) Keep up the good work in Japan! #ONI6weekchallenge
Fantastic experience: ONI is such an amazing place filled with an incredible team! I trained with Sam High to work on some personal fitness goals of mine ranging from pistol squats, to pull ups, to handstands. As time went on I was hitting my goals and starting new ones I never even imagined I'd be able to do! He also helped eliminate pain I had been getting in my elbow. On top of all of this I became friends with other trainers who work here as well. It truly is a great environment and you won't regret your experience here!
Marina! The team is missing you.. Thanks for those words :)
Fantastic experience: I came here to sort an old shoulder issue. Working through with Laurent and his team, the occurrence of pain went way down and my shoulder felt much better. I feel far more confident in doing any gym exercises now because they were hands-on with teaching me how to use my shoulder correctly, paying far more attention to how I actually moved and fixing that - something I haven't gotten from other many of my previous physios. I would recommend ONI to anyone looking for long-term fixes to their body issues.
Awesome to hear your shoulder improved, Petar! Thanks for your time.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Alec at ONI for a case study into posture. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience - Alec was able to quickly gauge my needs and goals while factoring in my inexperience and equipment limitations. I am impressed with the results we achieved and am motivated to continue, he was able to break down a workout into palatable chunks, while still directly targeting the areas, leading to a significant reduction in my pain and muscle tightness, and improving my overall physique. Would highly recommend Alec, and the whole team at ONI.
Thanks Angelika! We'll be posting up the case study soon so will send you a link to view in case you haven't already followed us on Facebook or Instagram :) Thanks again for taking part in our posture case study!
Fantastic experience: ONI Personal Training studio is one of the gems of the Wellington fitness realm. I’ve been seeing a Personal Trainer there for about a year now and I’ve received nothing but quality service. In fact, the entire team is made up of passionate individuals, from the fantastic trainers to the massage therapists. They have everything you need to integrate you back into functional movement or achieve peak performance. The studio itself has a trendy but professional vibe about it and is a fantastic environment to train in. Finally, the ONI approach is one of the best I’ve seen in helping clients achieve their goals!
Greatly appreciate those words Isaac :) Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I first started going to ONI around about the time when ONI first opened. Laurent and his team have become good friends and regular faces and the good that they have done for members out in the community recently shows their commitment to doing more and making a difference where it counts. ONI Gym is an excellent facility with a simple ethos and a dedicated team of professionals making changes where it counts. I am proud to fully endorse and support ONI gym and their team and highly recommend going there. 10 stars!
Mokena! Thank you my bro. Those are very kind words.- Laurent
Fantastic experience: Laurent and the team are some of the most switched on folks I've had the pleasure of spending time with in the personal training realm. Personal trainers that are interested in what you want to be good at, able to break it down in easy to understand ways and are really on a team with you. If you're in Wellington and want strength, speed, mobility (any or all of the above) Oni is the spot.
Thank you for those warm words, George!
Positive experience: It's ok

Fantastic experience: Super convenient location, top of the line equipment, and great expertise from all the staff. The group exercise classes are challenging but loads of fun! Lau does a great job of blending his expertise from multiple fields into an awesome programme. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Excellent Service. Great experience. Highly recommended to everyone. I just loved my trigger point massage. Just right aftr my 1 session, i felt so much great. Heaps thanks ro Maree for the excellent job
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend PT Michael highly enough. His enthusiasm, patience and professionalism are what keeps me coming back every week. Michael builds a programme for me that focuses on my needs but he also listens to my wishes. I have an ongoing back issue that causes me a lot of pain and discomfort and can make certain movements very uncomfortable. Michael is constantly educating himself regarding my condition and helping me to better understand how I can improve my movement and reduce the pain not only at the gym but also in my daily life.
Thanks very much for leaving a review! Will make sure Michael reads this, I'm sure he will be so pleased.
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent massage therapy session with Maree. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and recommended me some great stretches to loosen up tight areas on my body. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!
Fantastic experience: I went through six weeks of training with Laurant and his team, I had been suffering daily back pain for 3 years, along with lower back muscle spasms, leaving me unable to exercise. Within two weeks my back pain had decreased by at least 70%. The exercises Laurant gave me to do at home were incredibly simple and easy, but so effective and fast working, every week my back muscles had strengthened and were ready for more work load. By the end of the six weeks I had a solid understanding of why my back gets so sore, and how I can help that, my pain is 90% gone and I know within a few more weeks it will be 100%.
Thanks so much for the review! And keep up the good work with the strengthening!
Fantastic experience: A professional studio focused on fitness and health. I'm currently loving my personal training sessions. I'm challenged rather than pressured, and I really like how they listened, and tailored my sessions are to my goals. They have a number of other services I haven't tried yet. I haven't once been "upsold" but glad to know they services are available. Laurent got me wedding fit and I highly recommend ONI for anyone wanting to improve their health in a positive environment.
Fantastic experience: Laurent and his team at ONI were awesome to work with in their case study. Coming into it I had been dealing with shoulder pain and had not been training as to avoid injuring it again. Very quickly the guys at ONI were able to isolate the cause of the problem and began to explain how they were going to set up the rehabilitation process through creating a foundation of correct movement patterns, engaging and feeling the right muscle groups working. Within a couple of weeks I had stopped feeling pain in my shoulder and we had progressed to now loading the movements with weight. The improvement that these exercises brought quickly helped not only with the relief of pain, but also allowed me to start swimming again without problems and helped at work with overhead movements. By the end of the six weeks they had started to coach me through putting my shoulder movement and strength through as much as they could handle by guiding me through an overhead squat. They took their time to discuss and trial with me why they were choosing to prescribe particular movements and what I should expect to gain out of each exercise in order to rehabilitate properly throughout the process. They would make sure to always help in cuing helpful tips or give insights as to how I could remember to do the exercise correctly by myself. They were very thorough and helpful throughout case study and I highly recommend their services.
Thanks Guy! It was good to have you be part of our case study. The results wouldn't have been so positive without your own effort, you did awesome. Will post up the report soon on our blog! www.oni.co.nz/libraryLaurent
