Who This Is For
Strength for Seniors
Strength is what keeps the second half of life yours: carrying groceries, getting off the floor, gardening without paying for it the next day. It responds to training at every age - the question is only whether the training respects where your body is now.
Here it does, because it has to: every client starts with a full biomechanical and postural assessment, and everything from load to tempo is prescribed from what your body shows, then adjusted as you get stronger. Clients in this studio have trained weekly into their seventies - some for many years with the same trainer.
How It Works Here
Assessed, never assumed
Posture, balance, movement and health markers like resting heart rate and blood pressure are assessed before anything is prescribed - and re-measured as you progress.
Your pace, watched every rep
Every session is one-on-one with a trainer beside you. Form comes before load, always - which is exactly what strength work later in life needs.
A calm, private studio
Sessions are booked, so the space is yours. No crowd to keep up with, no machines to queue for, and a welcoming, unhurried atmosphere clients mention in almost every review.

- Every session is one-on-one with a trainer beside you, and form always comes before load. The pace is set by your body and your goals, and it is re-measured as you progress.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I have had many gym memberships over the years and wasted lots of money - the only one I've regularly attended for months is RAW Ener-CHI! Its a fabulous space with a great community feel. Jalen trains my husband and I together and he's amazing! Keeps our trainings interesting and fun, personalizes programs to our own needs and my movement is so much easier then before I started! Highly recommend 👌
Joe and rod are the best trainers in new Zealand. I've trained with Joe for many years and seen amazing results. The Raw Enerchi team create personalized workouts that fit my needs perfectly and get the best out of me each time I enter the gym. I've gained noticeable strength, fitness and confidence because of that over the years and it's transformed who I am. However what I appreciate most is their motivating and supportive approach. Each session is full of craic which makes it even more fulfilling. If you're looking for a dedicated and effective personal coach, I highly recommend the raw enerchi team.
I’ve trained with Joe for many years and there’s been many highlights, though his holistic approaches to rehabbing my long-term knee injury and improving my postural issues have been more valuable than that of any surgeon or physio. Every session is enjoyable, carefully considered and tailored to your unique needs, and time is always taken to explain the background knowledge. Highly recommend Joe and the Raw Ener-chi gym - such an easy going and lighthearted environment they’ve created, and it is clear they genuinely care about you. Couldn’t be more grateful, thanks Joe and team!
