Call BodyTech reception on 09 623 3383 to book your First Workout - a 45-minute session where a fitness instructor will take you through your workout, set up your equipment and explain how to use it. Or let reception know if you want to just come in and use the pool or amenities on your first visit and they'll make sure you know where to go and how to use the locker rooms.
Comfortable cool clothes and covered shoes. We cannot let you exercise in open-toed shoes, sandals or jandals, or with bare feet. Don't worry if you forget your shoes. We have a selection of New Balance gym shoes. Ask reception and they can lend you a pair to work out in. Please note t-shirts or singlets must always be worn on the gym floor.
You should always remember a water bottle to keep you hydrated and a small sweat towel.. Don't forget your swimming cap and goggles if you want to swim. We provide complimentary shampoo and body wash in our showers and can rent you a towel if you forget yours.
Our Mt Eden gym at 8 Nugent St is open from 5.45am–9pm from Monday to Friday, 7am–5pm on Saturday, and 9am– pm on Sunday. Our Ascot gym in Greenlane is open from 6am–8pm Monday to Friday and 9am–3pm on Saturday. We are closed on public holidays. Please leave the gym premises punctually when we close.
To ensure all our members have access to lockers throughout the day, each member must clear their locker after use. Lockers are also cleared at night for security and hygiene reasons and to facilitate daily cleaning.
Three times a week is enough for beginners to see benefits. A five to 10-minute warm up followed by the 30-minute Supervised Circuit should be adequate on those visits. It is important that you have a day's rest in between your strength training workouts to give your body time to recover. If cardiovascular fitness is also a goal, you can supplement the Supervised Circuit with at least 20 minutes of cardio, either on the same day you do the Supervised Circuit or on an alternate day.
Let Reception know that you haven't been to the gym for a while so they can call a fitness instructor to the desk to help you get started. If it's been a few months, you may want to call us 09 623 3383 and book a First Workout so a fitness instructor can reintroduce you to your workout.

At BodyTech, we recognise that many of you, whether you admit it or not, may feel intimidated at the thought of exercising in a gym. But come and visit us and you'll see our gyms are for all sorts of people of different backgrounds, ages and levels of fitness. You'll see a lot of fit and healthy people, but don't be fooled, they didn't all walk in that way the first time. They're fitter and healthier because they have been coming to BodyTech for awhile and have been sticking to their goals. You'll fit in immediately because new members like you are starting fitness plans all the time. Our staff are constantly working to maintain a comfortable, nurturing culture and are ready to help you every time you come in to work out. Just look out for them in their New Balance uniforms.
Our swimming pool is sanitised with chlorine and ozone. The ozone means less chlorine is needed. The chemical levels are tightly managed and recorded several times a day. Our pool isalso heated and aim to keep the water temperature at 27 degrees Celcius in winter and 25 degrees Celcius in summer.
Both are great when used properly. They are just different. The Steam Room uses moist heat while the Sauna uses dry heat.
We know how busy life is. The key to having time for anything in your life is to identify how it fits in with your other priorities. Once you define your priorities, you can find the right place for exercise in your life. If you understand the positive effects that fitness has on all the other areas of your life, you'll find you have time to fit it in. BodyTech's members include doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, mums, dads, and more who've all made their fitness a priority. You can too!
The simple answer is no. While strengthening your abdominal muscles is good, it won't help you lose fat from that area. We recommend a full body workout that targets all of your major muscles. If you increase your muscle mass that will increase your metabolism - in other words how many calories you burn while not doing much. Combining this with healthy eating, will lead to fat loss - all over your body.
Because BodyTech can provide you with Supervised Training every time you come in, we are the best value around. Our fitness instructors are always there to help you, not just on your first visit. For less than $3.80 a day, you can become a member of one of our clubs. If you'd like to find out more about the value of a BodyTech membership, call us on 09 623 3383 and one of our sales co-ordinators will get back to you promptly.
No, we do not allow external Personal Trainers access to our gyms. All of our Personal Trainers must complete a rigorous training programme before they can practise on the gym floor. This ensures we maintain our standards of excellence and keeps you safe.
Your safety is our priority and we pride ourselves on keeping our members safe while they exercise. If you have a medical condition we will request written recommendations from your doctor and/or health practitioner before getting you started or re-introducing you to exercise at BodyTech. This is so we can ensure the programme we deliver is both safe and effective given your health restrictions. We also have a MedFit service for people with complicated medical histories or those who feel they need more support while starting their exercise programme. Please email us if you would like more information.
