Our Gym
Great people, expert advice, life-changing results!
Without question it’s our people that make our Christchurch gym what it is. From enthusiastic Personal Trainers with highly-regarded qualifications and bundles of hands-on experience to the warm, welcoming admin and management staff, it’s the personalities around the gym that foster our engaging culture.
That culture is as much about having fun and feeling comfortable in your environment as it is about achieving results. In the right space, with the right advice, the changes you desire will come, which is why we’ve put so much emphasis on attracting the very best staff and nurturing our very own little community.

q & A
How long has Fitness Canterbury been around?
Do you know some of our longest serving members have been with us for over 30 years. Fitness Canterbury’s long history dates back to around 1990 when it was known as ‘Better Bodies’. It was in another building just over the road from where we are now. Its current owners were members from 1992 onwards. It has been in this current building since 1997. It was renamed ‘Fitness Canterbury’ from ‘Acropolis’ in 2005. It’s current owners Kent Gibson and Scott Mazey have been the longest owners in its history when they purchased it in June 2009.
What are your busiest times?
During the weekdays our busiest times are between 6am – 8am and from 5pm until 7pm. That being said we are a big gym with plenty of equipment so would be very rear to have to wait for anything during our busy times.

While we don’t offer a large timetable of classes after much trial and error and feedback from members about what they would like we do run two incredibly effective classes. Boxing and Spin Classes. For more details and the timetable please see our ‘Classes’ section of the website.
