Who This Is For
Strength Training for Women
Most women who train here did not come from a lifting background. They came from Pilates, from running, from years of gym memberships that never stuck, or from starting again after kids - and what they were looking for was the same thing: somewhere private to get genuinely strong, with someone watching every rep.
That is what this studio is. Sessions are booked one-on-one, so there is no gym floor to walk, no crowd, and nobody watching except your trainer. The programme starts from a full movement and postural assessment, so it is built from what your body shows - not a template written for someone else.
How It Works Here
Complete beginners welcome
No experience is assumed. The assessment finds your starting point, and the first weeks are spent building technique and confidence before load goes anywhere near a maximum.
Strength around real life
Programmes are built around what your weeks actually look like - work, kids, sport, the training you already love - with home routines between sessions so progress never stalls.
A welcoming, calm space
The reviews say it better than we can: welcoming, calm, patient, encouraging. A private studio where the atmosphere is set by the people coaching you, not a weights-floor crowd.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I’ve been training with Joe for 5 years. I started because I was having difficulty with pain and managing physical aspects of my job after having my kids. I had done lots of different types of exercise in the past but found the assessment and understanding of what I need to work on to be unique and accurate. My posture strength and flexibility have improved and I’m almost never in pain now. Joe is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology and has so many types of exercises to fit any issue. So different then a paint by numbers gym program which may just exacerbate underlying issues. I’ve also had the pleasure of training with Maeve when Joe is away and she is amazing too.
What an amazing gym, the personal trainers are amazing, the environment is very familiar. Alex is very good, he designed a personalized program according to my needs and he dedicates completely for one hour to teach me step by step how to do it. I feel very comfortable there and I am seeing results very quick. Thanks Alex for such a great work.
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.
