Group Fitness, Fitness Services & Specialty Courses

Group fitness is a fun and easy way to move your body to improve your health & wellbeing.  Let us help motivate you through your workout or guide you through a grounding and calming yoga session.

Discovery sessions are for anyone new-to-exercise, new-to-the-gym or maybe feeling a little anxious about stepping inside a gym for the first time. We offer a range of sessions at a slower pace to help you gain confidence and skills in an encouraging environment.

We offer deep restore yoga, an introductory level boxing fitness, and two levels of Hip Hop and Ballet for you to try at a fraction of the price you might pay in a studio.

Learn or improve your skills in a private space, in a small group setting.

Grab yourself a Personal Trainer, start following their personalised programme and see the results you're looking for faster and more efficiently!

A Body Composition Scan (BCS) is a powerful tool for wellbeing. A must do in your fitness journey.

The RecCentre offers a range of massage therapies for students and staff by qualified therapists and student therapists from ARA Te Pūkenga. From sessions and pricing to therapists and safety, find out massage therapy at UC.
