Personal training isn't about being pushed to your limit every session. It's about having someone in your corner๐
Someone who celebrates your wins, helps you build confidence, keeps you accountable, and somehow still makes you laugh along the way.
Whether your goal is getting stronger, moving with confidence, recovering from injury, or simply feeling better day to day, our PT team meets you where you're at.
With trainers like Dee, you'll quickly realise it's not just about the workouts - it's about enjoying the journey too.

๐จ THE REC ROOM 6-WEEK CHALLENGE IS BACK! ๐จ
Six weeks. One goal. A whole lot of motivation.
Starting Monday 31st August, we're challenging you to lock in, stay consistent and make some serious progress heading into summer.
Last year's challenge was a huge success, so we're keeping it simple this time round: one entry, everything you need to get started.
๐ช $99 ENTRY GETS YOU:
* 2 x body scans (before and after) to track your progress
* Access to weekly spot prizes throughout the challenge
* Entry into the challenge prize pot. $20 of every entry goes straight in ๐ฐ
* Full access to nutrition and training resources through the Rec Room App, live and ready to go before the challenge kicks off
๐ HOW YOU WIN
The challenge pot goes to whoever loses the highest percentage of their own starting body fat, not just who loses the most on the scale. That means everyone's on a level playing field, no matter where you're starting from.
Want extra support? Add ons like structured programmes and personal training are available at challenge only pricing.
๐
Body scans need to be done before kick-off, so get in early. Challenge runs for six weeks from Monday 31st August.
Entries open this coming week so keep an eye out!

๐จ NEW TRAINER ALERT ๐จ
The Rec Room whฤnau just got bigger - please help us welcome SCOTT GORMAN AKA Snakey to the team! ๐๐ช
Scott's got the CV to match his energy. A Bachelor of Sport & Exercise Science from Massey University (majoring in Exercise Prescription and Training) under his belt, he's spent the last year as an Assistant Trainer for Wellington Rugby and for the Hurricanes - yep, THAT Hurricanes team that just broke a decade-long championship drought ๐ He's currently Assistant Trainer for the Manawatu Turbos, and he's the key motivator behind the scenes - the man giving the weekly pep talks and getting the boys fired up before game day. Don't believe us? Ask ya boy Jordie Barrett ๐
Good news for us: Scott's joining The Rec Room in a part-time capacity for now - mostly evenings while he sees out the Turbos season before committing to full-time with us in a couple of months.
So what will you find him doing on the floor?
โ
Running classes
โ
Building personalised programmes
โ
Taking on Personal Training clients
Trying to level up your game? If you want quality, athlete-grade training under your belt, this is your man. And don't think he's just for the athletes - Scott works with anyone chasing strength, weight loss, confidence, or coming back from injury with rehab-focused training. Same expertise, same energy, all members welcome.
And of course, heโs a bloody good bloke too. You're going to love having him around.
Keen to start training with Scott? Flick us a DM to get it sorted ๐ฒ

Live. Laugh. Lift... or something like that ๐
Fitness should be something you look forward to, not something you have to tick off your to-do list.
Some days you'll come to chase a PB. Other days you'll come for the people. Either way, you'll leave feeling better than when you walked in.
At The Rec Room, you'll find a team who know when to push you, members who'll cheer you on, and a community that makes showing up the easiest part.
Hard work? Absolutely.
Good banter? Guaranteed.
A community that's got your back? Every single session.
We reckon you'll fit right in ๐

There's something different about walking into a room full of people all pushing towards the same goal. The music's pumping, we're there to guide you, your training partners have your back, and before you know it, you've achieved more than you thought you could ๐ฅ
Our group classes are designed for every fitness level. Whether you're stepping into your very first class or chasing your next PB, we'll challenge you, support you, and make sure you leave feeling stronger than when you walked in.
So... what are you waiting for? Grab a mate or come solo - we'll make you feel right at home.
See you in class ๐

No two fitness journeys look the same and that's exactly how we like it๐ช
Our personal trainers take the time to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and what success looks like for you.
For one member, that goal was staying strong enough to keep up with the grandkids.
Here's what they had to say about training with Dee:
"Deanna has been helping me improve my overall strength and flexibility... Her attention to detail and correct form is excellent... She provides programmes suited to my requirements, plenty of variety, and has a caring and personable approach."
That's what personal training is all about - expert coaching, genuine support, and programmes tailored to you.
No matter your age or experience, we're here to help you move better, feel stronger, and reach your goals.
Get in touch with us to find out more! ๐ฉ

๐ July Member of the Month: Huma Tysoe! ๐
This month we're celebrating someone who truly embodies what it means to show up for yourself - Huma Tysoe!
Huma is 26 weeks pregnant and just ran a half marathon in Taupล this past weekend. Thatโs next level commitment. On top of that, she's a business owner, a wife, and a busy mum juggling more than most of us could imagine, yet she still makes time to train and take care of herself.
Every pregnancy is different, and there's no "right" way to stay active (or not) while expecting. What makes Huma's story worth sharing isn't a standard to hold anyone else to, it's her commitment to understanding what her body needs and prioritising her health through this season of life. That kind of dedication is inspiring, and we're so proud to have her as part of our gym family.
On top of all that, Huma is just lovely to have around. Sheโs always warm, always smiling, and a pleasure to see in the gym every day.
Huma, thank you for showing up, putting in the work, and inspiring everyone around you ๐ช
As July's Member of the Month, Huma receives a facial voucher from Caci Clinic and some sweeeeet Rec Room merch - well deserved!
Congratulations, Huma! ๐
