Auckland gyms - help me out

[icecream]

Hey all

My question is about gyms in Auckland - do we have any dedicated Powerlifting/Strength gyms?

I'm talking about a gym where the trainers are all powerlifters or have worked with heavy lifting before - not a gym that hires kids straight out of personal training school because they got the piece of paper.

List them here plz

What about Miada?

Coast Barbell Club if you're out or near Whangaparaoa.

The Coast is my home, however my current location is in the dirty south

Have emailed netfit and will check out Miada as well..although netfit is more 'on my way' to work :>

Thanks!

What about Gillies Ave?

Just googled it and a thread from here came up.

Looks like netfit is preferred?

Gillies sounds a bit hardcore for this girl 8)

You could try Club Physical Westgate.

Its the home of NZBB's very own crossfitter Tomsammce :pfft: He's done PL and SM stuff too, just dont get too close or he'll use his signature tricep sluzza push

Genetics in manukau. Was a pretty hardcore gym a few years back still top powerlifters training there however the gym is turning more into the commercialised shiny land or so Ive been told.

Miada is catered for bodybuilding/strength training no staff working out at the otahuhu one but I think there may be some out in avondale. Very nice gym. Otherwise Netfit is the go.

Was in the big smoke for a couple of days and slotted in a work out at Nett Fit Ellersie.

Having a membership drive at the moment so could be a deal to be had.

Definately not a shiny land gym and didn't complain when I dropped bar whilst squatting! :oops:

Staff friendly (Thanks Georgie), patrons relatively friendly (Cops were a bit up them selves!)

Even had chalk!

If was in the need and the area would sign up.

Ok I joined netfit (finally).

Now have 5/3/1 for bedtime reading and will figure out all my shit and go next week.

I'm hoping 531 plus strength stuff at crossfit, plus the metcons plus eating heaps will turn me into some sort of girly beast.
