Anytime Fitness Ellerslie is a 24/7 gym on Main Highway in Ellerslie, Auckland, built for people whose schedules don't always fit standard opening hours. Members can train at any hour, any day, with 24-hour security, private restrooms and showers, and convenient parking. Membership also includes global access to more than 5,900 Anytime Fitness gyms, so a workout routine doesn't fall apart when you travel.
What the club leads with is coaching. Every membership includes a free, no-pressure fitness consultation, and the team builds personalised plans around real goals — from running a local 5K to rebuilding confidence and healthier habits. The trainer line-up draws on backgrounds in sports massage, football, body recomposition, weight loss and cardiovascular fitness, and services extend beyond the gym floor to fitness assessments, virtual coaching, mat pilates, sport massage and personal training.
The floor covers all the bases: treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, spin bikes and a sled push mill on the cardio side; squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, plate-loaded stations and cable towers for strength; and a functional zone stocked with battle ropes, kettlebells, TRX, medicine balls, plyometric boxes and BOSU trainers.
Staffed office hours run Monday to Thursday from 10am to 7pm, Friday from 10am to midday and Saturday from 10am to 2pm, with the gym unstaffed on Sundays and public holidays. Plans start at $22 weekly, a free trial is on offer, and referring a friend who joins earns members two weeks free.
On Main Highway in the heart of Ellerslie, Auckland, Anytime Fitness Ellerslie runs on a simple promise: the gym should work around your life, not the other way around. The club is open to members 24 hours a day, seven days a week, backed by 24-hour security, private restrooms and showers, and convenient parking. Early-morning cardio, a lunchtime lifting session or a late-night workout all fit the same membership.
Convenience is only half the story. Ellerslie's team leads with personalised coaching — the club's own line is that the approach is focused on you, not the other way around. Every membership includes a free, no-pressure fitness consultation, and coaches build personalised plans around real goals, whether that's running a local 5K, hiking Kilimanjaro or simply rebuilding confidence and healthier habits. All of it happens in what the club describes as a welcoming club and supportive member community.
The 24/7 model is the headline, and it comes with practical supports: security around the clock, private showers and restrooms, and parking at the door. Membership also travels — it includes global access to more than 5,900 Anytime Fitness gyms worldwide, so a routine holds up on holiday or a business trip. The AF App extends the club's coaching and inspiration beyond the floor.
For anything that needs a human — signing up, discussing membership options or asking a question — the club keeps office hours: Monday to Thursday from 10am to 7pm, Friday from 10am to midday, and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. The gym is unstaffed on Sundays and public holidays, and the team invites members to text 021 182 6168 in the meantime.
The floor is split into zones that cover most training styles. Cardio equipment includes treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers, exercise cycles, stair climbers, rowing machines and spin bikes, plus a sled push mill, with cardio TVs to keep longer sessions moving. Strength work is covered by squat racks, plate-loaded stations, barbells, dumbbells, isometric machines and cable towers.
A functional area adds battle ropes, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, BOSU trainers, jump ropes, resistance bands, kettlebells, TRX and a multi-functional rack — enough variety for circuit training, mobility work or a full session when the machines are busy.
The coaching team is a genuine drawcard. Lizzie Dyson draws on her own weight-loss journey and a background in sports massage, supporting recovery as well as training performance. Viraj Kumar turned a passion for fitness into a career after a background in football, specialising in sports-specific training, body recomposition, weight loss and cardiovascular fitness. Milan Leaupepe helps members build consistency and find training they enjoy, with challenges running through the year and free fitness consults on offer. Joshua Briones brings more than five years of industry experience and qualifications spanning strength training, movement, mobility and stability, and nutrition. Callum Beddoes and Erika Camacho round out the trainer line-up.
Beyond one-on-one training, the club's coaching services include fitness assessments, virtual coaching, mat pilates and sport massage — a recovery option that pairs well with heavier training blocks.
Membership plans start at $22 weekly, with rates subject to change depending on the club's location and current promotions. The team prefers to build a customised membership with you, whether you stop in during office hours or reach out first, and a free trial is available through the club's Try Us Free offer.
There's a loyalty kicker too: refer a friend who joins and you receive two weeks free — every referral adds another two weeks, and four friends adds up to two months free. The club keeps in touch through its Facebook page and Instagram account, and its welcome says it plainly: you've got this, and they've got you.
