Anytime Fitness Kent Terrace

Wishing all our dads a wonderful Father’s Day 🩵

If you’ve popped in for a late-afternoon workout this week, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Rizza, our newest recruit, at reception 👋

Rizza joins us as a part-time Membership Consultant and, like many of our team, is a former member herself.

Originally from the Philippines, Rizza made the move to Wellington earlier this year and signed up at Kent Terrace just days after arriving!

Outside of work, Rizza enjoys yoga, hiking and reading a good book. She’s also a massive horror movie fan 🧟‍♂️

We’re stoked to have Rizza on our customer service team and know her warm, friendly and empathetic approach will make a big contribution in the months ahead.

For now, while she’s learning the ropes, make sure you stop by, introduce yourself and help us make her feel welcome 🩵

Congratulations again to our awesome member, Elliot, who won an annual family pass to Zealandia in our August monthly consistency draw 🎉

Elliot was well above the eight visits required to be in the draw and has firmly established a great routine at the club 👏

Want to be in to win September’s prize: a JBL Flip 7 portable speaker? Simply scan your access pass on arrival and aim for at least two sessions per week on average. Easy as that!

Phil’s fitness journey started at 15, with short walks that slowly turned into runs. From there, it grew into something bigger.

“I could see how much being active helped my motivation, mindset and energy.” He even spent a season competing in bodybuilding. These days it’s more about maintenance, “keeping my body active, ageing well, and using exercise as a reset after busy days at work.”

What’s kept him at Anytime Fitness Kent Terrace are the simple things. “The equipment is newer, the gym is clean, and it is not usually too crowded,” he says. “It has a relaxed feel, with people at all different fitness levels, so it feels comfortable to just come in and do your own thing. I also like the app, especially when I want to try something different or change things up when my routine starts to feel repetitive, or I hit a plateau.”

The biggest benefit has been having somewhere reliable to keep his routine going. “Training helps me clear my head, gives me more energy, and is a good reset after a busy or stressful day at work. I find I think more clearly afterwards, and it helps me feel more balanced.”

His advice for anyone thinking about taking up exercise for the first time: “Start small and do not put too much pressure on yourself to have it all worked out straight away. Even a short workout can make a difference, especially for your mental wellbeing. The hardest part is often getting started, but once it becomes part of your routine, the benefits really do build up.”

Thanks for sharing, Phil. It’s a pleasure to have you and Shane as club members 🤝

It’s been wonderful to receive lots of positive remarks about our recent investment in more cables and new belts for our treadmills, as well as a continuation of the feedback we hear most: friendly staff, high standards of cleanliness, and an inclusive community feel.

Those things don’t happen by accident. And whilst our team puts in the work day-to-day, it’s just as much down to members who treat the space like it’s theirs to look after too.

So, we wanted to say, “thank you”, and run through the habits that make the biggest difference:

✔️ Keeping bags in the lockers so the floor stays clear

✔️ Wiping down equipment once you’re finished

✔️ Putting equipment back where it belongs for the next person

✔️ Working in with others when things get busy

✔️ Closed-toe shoes and clean training gear

✔️ Being mindful of the people around you, because for plenty of members, just walking through the door took a bit of courage

✔️ Saying hello to the team. The more we know you, the better we can look after you

Thanks again to everyone who makes Anytime Fitness Kent Terrace what it is. We don’t take that for granted, and we’ll keep working hard at our end 🩵

If you ever spot something that doesn’t line up with the above, flag it with us. We’ll sort it quickly and positively.

We’re installing six brand-new treadmill belts this week to keep your runs and walks smooth ✅ Thanks to Troy for his hard work so far 🤝
