Anytime Fitness Takapuna — Attraction in Devonport-Takapuna

A standout example of what a true community gym should be.

Anytime Fitness Takapuna is in a league of its own. Led by Mark and his incredible team, they’ve created something truly unique - a proper community vibe where everyone’s welcome the moment you walk in. No egos, just good energy, tidy gear, and people who genuinely care.

After more than five years training here, I can confidently say it’s the tidiest and best-equipped gym in Auckland. The staff are friendly, highly skilled, and genuinely invested in helping members reach their goals.

Whether you’re an everyday battler getting back in shape, a washed-up athlete chasing that second wind, or an old sport keeping the engine ticking - Mark and the crew have you covered. From fun, challenging group classes to focused one-on-one PT sessions, the results speak for themselves and are inevitable under this roof.

It’s more than a gym - it’s a family built on passion and consistency, where discipline meets good people. A hidden gem that continues to set the standard for what a great gym...

I’ve been to a few gyms over the years, but something about Anytime Fitness Takapuna just clicks. Maybe it’s the genuinely friendly staff who greet you like they’re glad to see you, not because it’s their job, but because they mean it. Or maybe it’s how the machines are always in perfect condition—no squeaks, no out-of-order signs, just ready when you are.

The space itself is spotless. And I don’t mean “gym clean”—I mean actually clean. You notice it the moment you walk in. It sets a tone, like they respect the people who train there.

And then there’s the group training. Three sessions a week that break up the solo grind, push you harder, and make it fun. There’s something about sweating it out next to others that keeps you coming back. You don’t have to be a pro—just show up, and the energy carries you.

If you’re thinking about joining a gym where the gear is top-notch, and the vibe is more supportive than intimidating, this is the place. I didn’t just find a gym—I found a routine I actually...

I went to check out this gym as Mark (part owner of this gym) who previously worked for snap fitness was my Personal Trainer(PT) a while ago. Mark is a great person, PT and communicator. He took me from being a fat, sick and nearly dead (as I explain it :) to a ripped 57+ year old. About this gym - I was super impressed to find a large brand new purpose built gym. It has parking at the door, a great layout, awesome showers and changing facilities. I tried out a lot of the equipment and was blown away by the quality. I loved the tread mills which are latest tech and have easy to setup options - I took a run through what looked like redwood forests. The machine for assisted chin-ups is the best I've seen. It allows you to stand so you can perform it in a more natural position. I can go on but will rather just say that this is the best gym around. With guys like Mark and Richard as co-owners and PT's running this gym, it will be a fun place where you will feel welcome and included....
