I joined RAW Fitness early 2021, knowing no one and now a year and half on can’t imagine a life without it. What I’ve learnt inside the gym translates into many aspects of life outside of the gym and sets the foundation for good habits.

The programming offers diversity in different types of training/recovery and is inclusive of all levels of ability, injuries and ages. Scaled options are always available and similarly, if you’re wanting a push mentally or physically that option is always there.

RAW wouldn’t be what it is without the coaches and all that they do for us. The progress and success of members is a direct reflection of the coaches knowledge and passion for what they do.

RAW is a gym I’m really proud to be part of - getting up early in the morning becomes super easy when you get to train in such a supportive environment, surrounded by a community who double as family.

Raw for me isn’t just a place to train and lift weights. It’s a community, a family and the place where you’ll not only find the strongest and fittest but also the kindest and most humble. 

As I Physio I’ve been to plenty of gyms and have taught movements myself, however, the coaching and programming we get at Raw is worlds above the standards I’ve known. The coaches are supportive, always happy to facilitate progress and treat you as part of the whanau. 

I’ve never felt more inspired to look after my mental and physical health than when I go to the gym.

The vibe of a gym is super important to me and the moment I walked into Raw I felt welcome. I’m a competitive weightlifter so the mix of strength and conditioning classes is perfect for me. But by far the best thing about training at Raw is the amazing supportive community that have become like family. It’s often the best hour of my day and I’m so grateful to have such a phenomenal place to train
