Personal Training
Strength training is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. And while many people understand the importance of strength training, they may not always know how to get started or how to stay motivated. That's where personal trainers come in. Working with a personal trainer can be a most effective way to achieve your goals.
Our personal trainers are highly skilled professionals. They have a deep knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, as well as the latest techniques and trends in strength training. They will work with you to develop a customised training program that is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and fitness level. Whether you are an elite athlete looking to take your performance to the next level or a beginner who is just starting out, our personal trainers have the expertise and passion to help you succeed.
What Our Members Say
After 21 years of being at another gym, I made the move to Inception Gym earlier in the year. I have an amazing trainer who is very dedicated to his job and pushes me to my limit, but this is what I enjoy the most. The staff are always friendly with a smile and hello when you walk through the doors. The equipment is of high quality and so many different machines to use. It has a modern decor and a good vibe. Definitely would recommend joining this gym, I did and I have no regrets :-)
I'm not very experienced with gymming but everyone was very encouraging. One of the staff showed me around and got me started and was happy to show me any machines I wasn't sure about. I can see now why people rave about this place. It's nice and big and you don't feel like you are bumping into people while using the machines. It's great for beginners like me, but also has more niche machines if you want to take it to the next level.
An absolute dream of a gym if you are into the gym and wanna get into shape. The staff are all amazing and friendly and so are the members. The vibe in the gym is so cool. The equipment is high quality and so tidy. I come in the mornings and always have the best workouts as it's never too busy. I can easily say having a gym like this around is a blessing it just keeps me consistent. Their changing rooms and showers are so good always clean. 100% recommend this gym for anyone!!!π―π―
Just moved here from City Fitness and I have to say, Inception is the perfect place to work out. The machines are top notch, and the overall vibe is great. The trainers are always willing to help and offer advice. The supplements they sell are also top tier. I highly recommend Inception gym to anyone looking for a great workout experience and a place to channel your focus.
Best gym in Christchurch, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very wide range of machines and equipment. Having an onsite supplement store with staff to recommend and explain all the products is awesome! Definitely come try it out. You wonβt want to go anywhere else!
Super positive environment and high end equipment, can't get enough of the place!!! They have a whole bunch of unique equipment that I've never seen before so it's a great place to learn new techniques and exercises for your workout routine.
Easily the best gym in Christchurch. Awesome range of equipment, all well maintained and clean. Very well setup and never feels crowded even when busy. It has a great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Always look forward to training there. Definitely sets a new standard for gyms in Christchurch.
If you are thinking of changing gyms, Inception is 100% the way to go! I moved from City Fitness just looking for a change in scenery. I was very nervous for the change but the staff and other members have been extremely inviting and made the change easy. The equipment is top notch and the toilet/showers are the cleanest Iβve seen in any gym. Feels like a second home, 10/10.
