TRAINERS

Rod and Jo run a great gym. Low key but on point for your fitness goals. They have a great selection of gear which allows their trainers keep things fresh by mixing up the routines. Lastly, the premise is clean and tidy which is important.

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!

Awesome little gym with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I have been training here with Maeve for about 6 months. I was looking for more strength training to complement the Pilates I have done for many years. What I found at Raw Ener-Chi was a level of knowledge about the human body and movement that you do not find elsewhere in the gym environment. Through a personalised program where adjustments are made to strengthen your weakness and release tightness, I have seen gains in creating total body alignment. Meaning I move through my day with much more ease having strength where I used to be weak. If you are looking for a tailored personal approach to training that improves your body and mind connection then Raw Energy-Chi is a great gym. Thank you Maeve you are a gem to find and I love training with you.

Been training here for the past six months and love it. I’m not a Gym fan but needed to strengthen my core after a number of injuries and the team have been great. Nice and relaxed environment, you can go at your own pace and it’s great for general well-being. If your a professional who’s body is feeling the daily grind caused by the family mental load and the work life balance constantly on your mind, this is the place to be!

Joe doesn’t just run you through exercises - he teaches you the “why” behind every movement. He frames biomechanics in a way that actually changes how your body fires - you don’t just copy a movement; you understand it. With him, muscles aren’t simply “working”; they’re working for a reason, in the right order, with the right intention. Small adjustments create huge changes. He explains why a cue matters, what pattern it supports, and you feel your alignment reset instantly. That level of precision only comes from someone with real kinesiology knowledge behind their coaching. You don’t leave the session exhausted, but the next day you feel soreness in exactly the right places - which has become Joe’s signature for me. If you’re just trying to lift heavier, you can go anywhere. But if you want someone who truly understands how the body functions and can coach from that depth, Joe is the answer.
