Functional Fitness - 24/7 North Shore Gym — Attraction in Kaipātiki

Overall great gym, heaps of equipment and free weights, plenty of parking. Just a few downsides/feedback below (some of these issues I think are carried from the previous owners)

No A/C, gym can feel like a furnace. The fans don't do much as it feels like it's just recirculating the hot air. Also feels like lack of fresh air coming into the gym even with the doors and windows open, a bit concerning if someone decides to gym while unwell/down with cold. Few equipment's need refurbishment such as grip either torn off or on its way to tear off. Dumbbells, non bumper plates are in pounds not kg which can create awkward weight increments. Dumbbells are bare metal with no coating for grip. I can't confirm but the dumbbell weights don't feel accurate. People don't put weights away properly. Quite annoying to have 2.5kg plates drop almost on your feet when someone puts it in between 10kg bumper plates.. Can be a treasure hunt to find smaller plates. Would be great if there's some sort of labelling so people put weights away properly.

EDIT: I last wrote a review 4 months ago. Changed my review to 5 because they listened to the feedback and got new dumbbells in KG and refurbished the grips. Next upgrade can we please change out the nasty pound plates to KG and get another bench...

This has to be the best gym on the North Shore! It has a fantastic variety of machines on offer, and I personally love the plate loaded machines as I feel they work better for my body. Due to the size of the gym and equipment available, there's essentially no waiting around for others to use the machines which is a big tick from me! Additionally, I have found the atmosphere and other members demeanor in this gym quite a nice change from other gyms in Auckland - everyone is welcoming and smiling, giving a sense of community, opposed to competitive vibe! From the get go, Omar has been very helpful and friendly; always open to offering advice on technique or finding equipment around the gym space. I recommend this gym to...

An absolute pleasure to train here. Lots of like minded people who all just want to get stronger, fitter or better.

Membership fees for what they offer are very reasonable and they're constantly investing in new equipment and improvements.

The environment is tough but everyone I talk to there is always happy to help, especially the big guys! Really lovely community they've pulled together.

If you're looking for a gym on the Shore that's got powerlifters, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts then definitely check...
