Clients reviews about Fitness Cartel Health Clubs Manukau

Great Gym, wish I lived closer 🤣 Every time I’ve visited, it’s been a great experience. The staff are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I like the lil shop floor & they make yummy protein shakes. The gym itself is clean, modern, and really well set out. There’s a big range of equipment - multiple machines of the same type, heaps of cardio options, and even futuristic tech that helps you track your progress. It works for all fitness levels, including people who need more mobility-friendly options. The bathrooms are sooo nice (huge win). I also like that they’ve got separate class rooms and a quieter area upstairs for anyone who prefers a bit of space away from the main floor. Overall, it’s a well-organised, good-vibes gym 💪💫 ~ Melissa K

One of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at! This gym ticks every box. The equipment selection is second to none — everything from free weights to machines is available, and all in great condition. Even when it's busy, there’s always something free to use thanks to the multiple training zones. No waiting around like in other gyms. The class studios are top-notch, especially the Reformer Pilates room — super clean and well-equipped. The recovery area is a massive bonus too, with two saunas and three ice baths that help me bounce back faster after tough sessions. Staff are always welcoming and helpful, the bathrooms are modern and spotless, and there’s plenty of parking. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend! ~ Todd S

After being at my previous gym for about 10 years, I felt like I needed a change and FC was my choice after testing the waters on a few other gyms. I've been there about 6 months now and there's no going back. There's everything you could ask for when it comes to a well equipped gym. From a big variety of cable and plate loaded machines, a quarter of the main floor dedicated to leg machines, multiple squat racks and smith machines, a whole lot of dumbbells, an entire level of the gym dedicated to cardio and stretching as well as 5 stair masters for all the cardio queens out there. The receiption staff there are always welcoming with a smile, especially Kieran where not only does he know how to crack a laugh but also makes the best protein shakes, always a double pump for the bro. All round great vibes from Fitness Cartel. ~ Michael M

Nice gym to get into a healthy lifestyles all staff are super friendly, all equipments always cleaned up and looked after . Great vibe and atmosphere with design choice and music . Super clean and easy to use facilities . Loads of options from baby cartel to recover rooms and group classes. Awesome PT services . - Adrian Zuniga what a legend ! Went back to working out after almost 8 full years of nothing . Worked with me to get back into a routine slowly got me back to training everyday, stays in touch daily to check in and also explains recovery process and how to get the best of the 45-60 minute training sessions.

Adrian is attentive and professional in his approach to personal training with clients, providing one on one support and advice that work towards improving physical health and well being. He demonstrates how to lift with correct form when exercising to prevent injury and tailors one on one sessions/programs to your bodies capabilities while ensuring this aligns with your fitness goals. Adrian keeps you accountable towards these goals and tracks progress with regular weigh ins and measurements to monitor changes over time. While making suggestion towards nutrition or other exercises etc as required to see better results. Since accessing Adrian for personal training, outside of our regular training days. I am more confident and consistent with weight lifting exercises on my own which I found challenging in the past as I only preferred cardio exercise. Resulting in increased strength, endurance and time spent exercising throughout a week I highly recommend anyone looking for a new personal trainer based at Fitness Cartel Manukau to get in touch with Adrian today! ~ Jason-Anthony B

Fitness Cartel Manukau is an amazing gym. This the only gym I know of that has the state of the art Gym80 Pure Kraft equipment. The staff are always smiling and welcoming.

I highly recommend Fitness Cartel Manukau to those who are keen to train in a first class facility and really achieve there health and fitness goals! ~ Stu S

The greatest feeling you can have at this gym when you walked in is the staff the most friendly and happy people I know Quiet when you first meet them but give it a day or two you will see giggling laughing,cheerful vibes One of the top best vibes I can say from 13 other gym I have visited. The morning atmosphere is slow quiet but filled with positive members who are caring, sharing and help you out with tips if you asked but all training on a high note. Morning hiit classes always run good with high energy and some light clowning around just for you to fit right in. Night time atmosphere is where the magic happens Everyone knows almost everyone, the energy vibes is fun,positive,inspiring happy faces and smiles, inspiring people to watch and you are left feeling great both the floor and group classes before leaving and your health and safety is really important to them I've Known a lot of the members and staff for close to 5 years now But they will always be the best gym family I have ever known so check it out if that is what you are looking for. Big love to fitness cartel manukau 🙏🔥💯 ~ isaac t

Zia and Tina honestly make the gym such a great place to be. They’re both super welcoming, always bring good energy, and really look out for people. Whether it’s giving tips on form, answering questions, or just having a friendly chat, they make the gym feel comfortable and motivating. You can tell they actually care about the members, and it makes a huge difference. Training is always better when Zia and Tina are around. ~ Rehaan K

Love coming to fitness cartel. The membership is worth it if you’re using the Pilates reformer classes 2-3 times a week alone. I regularly attend these and RPM, and at other times do my own weights. Initially when I joined though I was under the impression Les mills virtual classes would be playing (like the fitness cartel gyms in Australia)..this isn’t the case but would give the gym extra stars if this could be added!! ~ Anita F

This place is an ABSOLUTE VIBE. The equipments, layout, staff everything about this place is so good. The environment is very motivating, the best part about this gym is how close knit the community is. The staff always looks energised which pushes you to their energy. I don’t know how to explain it- but the energy is very good. Love the vibes 11/10 ~ Akanksha D

Facilities are pristine, EVERYTHING is clean and maintained (never seen such clean gym bathrooms!) The gym floor is a total vibe, classes so far have been welcoming and the Team is hands down wonderful. You feel like they support you, enjoy seeing you and also like their jobs. It’s a nice change to other gyms. Highly recommend for anyone, caters to us all. ~ Morgan J

The staff are friendly and onto it, always greeting us as we come and go. The facilities are well looked after and always clean. A wide variety of classes to choose from with the class membership so there’s something for everyone. The smoothies are great as well 👍🏽 all round great vibes and a great place to unwind in the recovery room at the end of every session 🙌🏽 ~ Neli V

I love this gym so much! I’ve tried plenty all around the Auckland region and honestly the staff, equipment and even just the community is amazing. Have reccomended this gym to countless people and they have all said the same thing. Great for first timers and also the people who live and breathe the gym! Way to go fitness cartel your doing great things🫶🏼 ~ Jaxon M

To be honest , I’ve been going to Fitness cartel manukau for a while on day passes and being able to finally lock in a membership is so good, Connor definitely was welcoming and supportive with my decision and definitely made me feel Comfortable and confident to train again. Shout out to Connor the GOAT🫡💯 ~ James J

They got me after this positive message! 10/10 - highly recommend. Everything on point, staff are always vibes, met with both Stu and Nataleigh and the rest was history. I especially favour their treadmills - itʻs the level of expansion Iʻm currently looking for regarding my fitness goals. Malo aupito. ~ Tuimala F

What stands out most about Fitness Cartel is the culture. It’s positive, driven, and genuinely supportive. There’s a real family feel — people push each other, celebrate wins together, and create an environment where everyone feels like they belong. No egos, just good energy and hard work. That culture makes all the difference. ~ Tux C

First impression it's a whole package ⭐ everything you want from beginning to end cardio,weights gym classes, reformer Pilates even food and shakes available..you really just have to check it out. I joined with my teen daughter who has her own fitness goals she has already made friends so it's enjoyable and it fits us both ~ Alison H

Zia was friendly and helpful around the gym always has a smile and always there to help. Tina was also there and makes my day because she’s always has a smile on her face and says hello every time I walk in.

Got a great gym tour by Dominique and she made a great protein smoothie too (recommend the snickers one!). Have to check it out 😎💪 ~ ricardo v

I am happy to say that in the last month and week, I’ve seen major progress💯Adrian Zuñiga(Personal Trainer)I couldn’t have done any better without the push you’ve given me. He has definitely pushed me to my limits, gotten me out of my comfort zone, and now I’m pushing weights I thought I never could😮‍💨 ~ Sam A

Tidy and well kept facility. Staff is awesome and friendly. Someone who id like to highlight is Adrian who is a personal trainer. A humble and supportive individual, highly recommend! If you’re a beginner like I am, Adrian is a supportive and encouraging trainer who will bring the best out of you! ~ Mohammed S

FC Manukau is a vibe , love the layout, it flowed so well and preferred it over the FC here in GC. Staff were very helpful and friendly especially the male that served us, he took the time out to show us around even though we were only visiting from FC GC, would highly recommend 💯 ~ Zina F

FITNESS CARTEL IS THE BEST GYM!!! I have previously been unenthusiastic towards working out, as I felt like I was getting nothing out of it, as well as feeling unwelcome in the gym space. With Fitness Cartel, I look forward to going to the gym. The staff are friendly, caring and kind. The cardio equipment is amazing, as you can track your progress each session. The equipment in general is kept clean and tidy. Another reason I enjoy going to this gym is Adrian. He helped me build my confidence, while improving my form. He's an awesome PT. He's non judgemental, but likes to push you to your limit. He has helped me focus on the main areas I need to focus on improving. Also He's a good mate to talk to about pointers and room for improvement. Lastly the classes. I have never been pushed so hard in my life, but it's super rewarding. I mainly do the Strength class, the instructors (Ree and Yolanda) are awesome. Every morning at the start, I feel half asleep, but by the end of it I feel like I've pushed myself to the max and feel amazing for the rest of the day. They have made me look forward to going to every class and I strongly recommend anyone to give it a go. So main takeaway from this is that Fitness Cartel is an amazing gym and you should 100% join. ~ Isaac E

I have been going to this gym for the past 2 months. I love it. The reformer class with Andre is just the best reformer class ever. Also, the fitness classes with Rhee and Yolanda are super great. The gym facilities are always clean and tidy. Highly recommended it ~ nereida s
