I used the infrared sauna and cold plunge at Body Evolution for the first time and it was amazing! The sauna had a built in speaker so I could play my own music, which made it even more relaxing, and jumping into the cold plunge afterwards was such an energising experience. Annalise and Hayden are amazing hosts β€” super welcoming and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. The space is clean, modern, and a great place to recharge. Highly recommend!

Body Evolution Β - BE is truly a gem in the world of women's gyms. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that sets the tone for an empowering workout experience. The professional trainers at BE are exceptional. They are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly supportive and motivating. Their programs are designed to build confidence and strength, whether you're preparing to drag suitcases around on holiday or moving house with ease. The strength and conditioning sessions are top-notch, and the cardio workouts are both challenging and fun. What sets EB apart is the community. The laughs, banter, and positive energy from other members create an environment where everyone feels encouraged and supported. It's more than just a gym; it's a place where women come together to lift each other up, both physically and mentally. If you're looking for a gym that offers excellent training programs, a supportive community, and a lot of fun, Body Evolution is the place to be. Highly recommended

As someone who normally feels hyper self-conscious and uncomfortable at the gym, frankly hating the whole experience, Body Evolution has been life changing. After several injuries I knew I had to find something to recover and I struck gold. The small fitness classes mean this gym is a community with women of all ages and backgrounds and fitness levels. You feel welcomed, encouraged and supported by everyone here, from the trainers to everyone else working out with you. Not only that, the personal training options are actually affordable if that’s what you prefer. I couldn’t recommend this gym enough. I joined with the starter package which gave me access to all the facilities for several weeks and some goodies to kickstart my journey. I got to try all the things (sauna, etc) and settle into a routine to then know which subscription is right for me going forward. You can also gain access to their nourish app subscription which is an excellent NZ based nutrition app so you can get training support or meal inspiration for whatever your fitness needs or goals are. Thank you team for providing such an awesome space.

I’ve used the UI Cube machine at Body Evolution for pelvic floor treatment, and honestly, it’s been a total game-changer. I used to struggle with urge incontinence, but after just a few completely pain-free sessionsβ€”literally just sitting down and reading a book for 20 minutesβ€”it was gone. I noticed a massive difference really quickly, and I’d say I don’t experience it at all now. If you’re dealing with the same thing, I’d definitely recommend trying it.

I can't recommend this gym enough!! From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by the amazing trainers, who are not only friendly but genuinely invested in their gym member's fitness journeys. This is the first gym I've ever loved going to, which speaks volumes about the atmosphere they've created. I love the small intimate environment and personalized approach. The trainers help make my fitness goals actually feel achievable. They’re also attentive to technique and form, helping me learn to perform exercises safely and effectively. If anyone is looking for a place that motivates you and makes working out enjoyable, this is the spot.

I joined Body Evolution because I wanted to slow things down and work on strength and technique with heavier lifting rather than the more HIIT style gym classes I had been doing. Absolutely stoked with my progress so far! You get the push when needed and the support always! The tunes, the people, the trainers and the workouts are a total vibe. I LOVE coming to class and have made some awesome connections with likeminded gym goers - the chat alone is worth your while!!!! I am also really enjoying the new addition of the infrared sauna and plunge pool for post exercise recovery. I’ve even managed to get my kids in there to help with their sports recovery. If you’re after a gentle entry back into exercise or a solid push to help reach your goals - BE is the place 🙌.

BE has handsdown been the best gym I have ever attended! Annalise and Hayden take time to demonstrate proper technique always, they ensure all workouts are carried out to protect our bodies and also cater to some who have past or present injuries, aswell as age and fitness ability. The workouts are fun, always different & enjoyable. They motivate you to turn up and always playing great music to jam to!! They definitely make it a gym that you want to be involved in. The range of classes on their timetable are convenient & they also have an added benefit of a Contrast Therapy space, with Sauna and Plunge pool for recovery & wellbeing. Being a woman’s only gym means they cater to women’s health! Everyone that shows up is supportive and friendly, it’s definitely a safe community gym I highly recommend!

A gym that is more than your average gym. Annalise, Jade, and Eva really know their stuff - are knowledgeable, encouraging, fun, and provide a safe space for women to be themselves. BE is such a supportive environment to be part of, not only from the coaches but the other ladies you train with. There is always lots of hard work done but just as much fun and laughter. It is truly a special place to be part of. The sessions are varied, never boring, and very doable. They are always catered to the needs of each individual person. My overall strength, stamina, and flexibility have improved hugely since being a part of the BE team.

I cannot recommend Body evolution enough! I’ve never enjoyed working out and was always intimidated by gyms but at Body Evolution I instantly felt comfortable, supported and motivated! Exercises are tailored to all fitness levels with small personal classes of incredible women in a modern, clean, comfortable space. The last 7 months really have been life changing, I no longer just want to β€œlose weight” I want to be strong and healthy and I feel empowered to absolutely achieve that. I now find myself looking forward to going and even going 5, sometimes 6, days a week because I enjoy it so much! Thank you so much Annalise, you truly have created a very special space.

Annalise and Hayden have put so much thought into this beautiful space which is a private gym that feels more personal. They ensure technique is always correct to avoid injury, and always set up and ready to start training with an exercise routine planned. Weights, machines, cardio section always super clean and organised. They will scale your workouts to accommodate you following surgery, just beginning or whatever your goals might be. Age does not matter here. The professionalism and passion for what they do is second to none.

There is more to this gym than just being a place to work out. I've been a part of Body Evolution for 4 months now and feel so grateful to have discovered this place. I walked into this gym shy, nervous and had no idea what I was about to get myself into. I have never walked out of a gym class feeling so good and excited to return the next day and end up going every day of the week each week. You guessed it, this gym is AMAZING! Annalise and Hayden have created a safe space that allows all Wahine mā to be unapologetically you. It meant that I could be my most uncoordinated, always injured, and unconfident self and be 100% well and truly supported, hyped up, and given the opportunity to finally achieve results I never imagined possible. Their passion, understanding, and expertise in what they both do for us here make this gym stand out. Body Evolution cannot be recommended highly enough. From the girl who couldn't run, burpee or lift, who is now well and truly on her way to running further, lifting heavier and getting down on those burpees.

I've never really been a fan of gyms, but Body Evolution is different... not only is it a gorgeous space to workout with knowledgeable and encouraging trainers; it's a community of amazing women that support each other to thrive physically, mentally and emotionally. I have absolutely loved my time with Body Evolution, and found myself looking forward to workouts like never before (even with early morning starts!). I had joined with the aim of strengthening my injury-prone upper body, but was most surprised with the mental health gains I was making, especially as life pressure kept building. I can’t recommend Body Evolution enough, it changed my life!!

google

In the past few years some really traumatic things have happened in my life and I was in a really bad place mentally. Someone told me to try exercise, that it will help. I looked into it but struggled to find somewhere that would suit because I didn't want to be around large groups of people, or anywhere that was really public, or anywhere with lots of men. It made me feel really anxious as I had lost alot of confidence and was super self conscious. I was told of this place "Body Evolution". I met with the owner Annalise, she was friendly and encouraging and made me feel comfortable straight away. The fitness classes are all women, small groups at a time and they are all friendly and encouraging too. Everything was new to me and I was not used to doing regular exercise. But I started and kept going, 3 times a week every week. I pushed myself to keep going until I got used to it, until it became a habit. The feeling I get after training is so good. I feel happier, I feel like I've accomplished something. My mood in general has improved heaps. I started getting my confidence back. I'm sleeping better and with the nutrition plan I started feeling healthier. I never would have thought exercise would help with my mental health like this but it does, majorly! Body Evolution has such a positive, friendly and supportive environment. I'm so glad I made the decision to be a part of it.

BE has a gym atmosphere that reflects support, knowledge and genuine people with great training sessions. A place where everyone can be themselves with no judgement. Annalise and Hayden know what they are doing - that is people stay happy and healthy when they feel part of a supportive community. They also understand that being healthy isn’t really about being a size zero, it’s about feeling confident and healthy in your mind as well as body. It’s as good as it gets here.

I have belonged to a number of gyms over my life time but none have the atmosphere of Body Evolution. All ages and abilities are made to feel welcome. Whether you are super fit and strong or a newbie you are included in the gym family Annalise and Hayden are incredible trainers. They are the best I have ever worked with. Their programs each day are challenging but really enjoyable. Technique is of high importance and due to the small numbers everyone gets attention and help I am LOVING it and even after a few weeks of training with the team I am feeling in a better physical and mental state ❤️

I have absolutely loved my time with Body Evolution, and found myself looking forward to workouts like never before (even with early morning starts!). I had joined with the aim of strengthening my injury-prone upper body, but was most surprised with the mental health gains I was making, especially as life pressure kept building. I can’t recommend Body Evolution enough, it changed my life!!

In the past few years some really traumatic things have happened in my life and I was in a really bad place mentally. Someone told me to try exercise, that it will help. I looked into it but struggled to find somewhere that would suit because I didn't want to be around large groups of people, or anywhere that was really public, or anywhere with lots of men. It made me feel really anxious as I had lost alot of confidence and was super self conscious. I was told of this place "Body Evolution". I met with the owner Annalise, she was friendly and encouraging and made me feel comfortable straight away. The fitness classes are all women, small groups at a time and they are all friendly and encouraging too. Everything was new to me and I was not used to doing regular exercise. But I started and kept going, 3 times a week every week. I pushed myself to keep going until I got used to it, until it became a habit. The feeling I get after training is so good. I feel happier, I feel like I've accomplished something. My mood in general has improved heaps. I started getting my confidence back. I'm sleeping better and with the nutrition plan I started feeling healthier. I never would have thought exercise would help with my mental health like this but it does, majorly! Body Evolution has such a positive, friendly and supportive environment. I'm so glad I made the decision to be a part of it.

BE has a gym atmosphere that reflects support, knowledge and genuine people with great training sessions. A place where everyone can be themselves with no judgement. Annalise and Hayden know what they are doing - that is people stay happy and healthy when they feel part of a supportive community. They also understand that being healthy isn’t really about being a size zero, it’s about feeling confident and healthy in your mind as well as body. It’s as good as it gets here.

Hayden & Annalise are doing an awesome job with the new gym they really care about each & every member so it feels more like a family than a gym 😍 Hayden had been my trainer for the past year for a work bootcamp and I loved his encouragement & knowledge around safe training so when I heard about the new gym I had no hesitation in joining. Come join us you won’t regret it! 👍

I have belonged to a number of gyms over my life time but none have the atmosphere of Body Evolution. All ages and abilities are made to feel welcome. Whether you are super fit and strong or a newbie you are included in the gym family Annalise and Hayden are incredible trainers. They are the best I have ever worked with. Their programs each day are challenging but really enjoyable. Technique is of high importance and due to the small numbers everyone gets attention and help I am LOVING it and even after a few weeks of training with the team I am feeling in a better physical and mental state ❤️

I appreciate the support and enthusiasm that Annalise and Hayden give and show each one of us individually.

The last time I felt like training in the gym 5 days a week was probably way back in 2005. I have finally found my happy place! Amazing coaches and a great group of likeminded women.

Great atmosphere at Body Evolution, Annalise and Hayden take the time to walk you through each move to ensure your body is in the correct position when lifting. Did I mention awesome banter too!

There’s this quiet truth we often bury under the noise of daily lifeβ€”jobs, school runs, cooking, cleaning, caring for everyone but ourselves. We keep saying we’ll start looking after ourselves β€œsoon”… when life slows down, when things get easier, when we’re not so tired. But here’s the thing:

If we don’t make our health a priority now, one day our bodies will force us to.

We don’t get a second version of this body. This is it. And it’s not just about fitting into jeans or ticking off a number on a scale. It’s about energy. It’s about strength. It’s about longevity.

It’s about being able to run around with your kids now without being out of breath.
It’s about lifting your grandbabies high in the air one day, laughing, strong, pain-free.
It’s about not missing a moment because your body is too tired or too sore to keep up.

Strength training, nourishing food, movementβ€”these aren’t luxuries. They are lifelines.

Every time you choose a walk over the couch, water over wine, sleep over scrolling… you are choosing life.
Every squat, every lunge, every push-up isn’t just exerciseβ€”it’s an investment in decades more laughter, more hugs, more LIFE with the people you love most.

You deserve that. Your family deserves that version of you, too.

Please don’t wait for a health scare to wake you up. Don’t wait until you’re too unwell to do something about it. Start now. Start small. But start.

Because one day your kids are going to want you right there beside themβ€”not watching from the sidelines, but running right beside them.

Look after you, for them. But more importantlyβ€”look after you, for you. πŸ’›

Ever wondered what to eat before your training session? 🍌πŸ’ͺ

Timing your nutrients is key, especially for women! It boosts performance, preserves muscle, stabilizes blood sugar, and enhances recoveryβ€”all leading to better progress and results.

Your pre-workout snack should:
✨ Fuel you for peak performance
✨ Minimize muscle breakdown and maximize gains
✨ Be easily digestible to avoid energy swings and GI issues

Here are 3 quick + easy pre-workout fuel options:
1️⃣ A medium-sized banana
2️⃣ 2 pieces of toast with jam
3️⃣ Greek yogurt with fresh fruit
