Fantastic experience: Highly recommend - please go train there! This gym was awesome to train at while travelling. Absolutely amazing space in a convenient location with the most friendly owners. The mats and facilities were super clean and the room to roll was huge, with parking outside. Respect to Graham and Sean for the epic classes I made it to and thanks to Brent and Paula for having me - hope to be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Solid opportunity to train while down for a 3-day weekend. Hopefully get more opportunities in the future to come down again. Thanks to Brent & Paula for opening your gym. Safe rolls, no ego, awesome crew and a great opportunity to keep sharpening the saw. You run an awesome gym with a great culture, which is a testament to the work you put into making it a family of people with the same addiction to BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Te Manawa has been the very best thing for our three children. They love it. It has proved so much more than we had imagined because not only have they developed physically but they have grown in confidence and in their respect for others. Their other sports and their school work have likewise improved. Paula is fantastic. We feel very blessed to belong to Te Manawa family.

Maeghan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The place to go! Coaches are all top level but most importantly, genuine people that love Jiu Jitsu and sharing their knowledge which is awesome. Safety and cleanliness is such a key priority which I love, you are in very good hands!! BEST INSTRUCTION, Large open mat space (You will struggle to find better mat space! The mats are so comfy!) and the most friendly and welcoming teammates, the vibe is soo good!! have to come experience it to know for yourself! From kids classes, to beginners to advanced, no judgment here! you won’t be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Having never done Reformer Pilates before, I was keen to try when I knew my mat pilates instructor Paula was starting up a new studio on Glenda Drive, Queenstown. I love Paula’s professional, progressive and fun teaching style and her class size is very small, so I feel like it’s a private session. I also have huge respect for Paula’s expertise and international credibility underpinned by her world champion achievements. Paula keeps a detailed student profile so she helps me achieve my goals. I would certainly recommend Te Manawa, I love how Paula, Brent and the team have a focus on supporting fitness for all ages.
