F45 Training Remuera is a functional group fitness studio on Orakei Rd in Remuera, Auckland — more than just a gym, in the team's own words. Classes are 45 minutes long, coach-led, and built on a library of more than 5,000 dynamic, energy-packed movements, with over 80 workouts in rotation across cardio, resistance and hybrid formats. The philosophy is simple: team training, life changing.
Every session carries the effectiveness and attention of a certified personal trainer. Coaches — led by studio manager Theo Duncker — guide, correct and encourage, scaling each workout so members of every body and fitness level can train side by side. The studio also features Recovery, along with specialist tracks including F45 Training | HYROX, PEAK500, LIONHEART and the F45 Challenge.
Members describe F45 Remuera as joyful, encouraging and genuinely life-changing — from weight loss and body transformations to members in their 60s reaching peak fitness. The brand has been rated #1 Gym by Men's Journal in the US and Canstar Blue in Australia, and newcomers can experience it all through the studio's 7 Day Trial.
F45 Training Remuera occupies a spot on Orakei Rd in Remuera, Auckland, and it isn't trying to be your average gym. The studio offers functional group fitness classes, reimagined — 45-minute, coach-led sessions that draw on a library of more than 5,000 dynamic, energy-packed movements and a rolling schedule of over 80 workouts. As the team puts it, this is the total wellness solution for every body: the workout you always wanted with the team you didn't know you needed.
Each class blends the motivation of team training with the effectiveness and attention of a certified personal trainer. Coaches guide you through every station, correct your form and help you scale each movement to your own level, so a first-timer and a seasoned athlete can share the same floor and both walk out having worked hard.
The studio's motto says a lot about what it values. As the team frames it, it's not about mirrors, mood lights or followers — it's about what you did with your time, how you feel when you finish, and who encouraged you along the way. That philosophy shapes everything at F45 Remuera, from the welcome at the door to the encouragement in the final minutes of a session.
The fitness team is led by studio manager Theo Duncker, and F45 describes its trainers as being in a league of their own — delivering the expert guidance and unconditional support of a one-on-one personal trainer within a group setting. Members agree. Reviews regularly single out the coaches for being supportive, friendly and encouraging, and for minimising injury risk by making sure every exercise is done correctly.
F45's programming rotates across several class styles. Cardio sessions are all about heart rate and endurance; Resistance classes build strength through functional movement; and Hybrid workouts combine the two into a single session. The Remuera studio also features Recovery, giving members dedicated support to rest, repair and come back stronger.
For those chasing specific goals, there are specialist tracks too, including F45 Training | HYROX, PEAK500 and LIONHEART, alongside the F45 Challenge — a structured program behind some of the transformations the studio proudly shares. With over 80 workouts in the system, there's enough variety to keep both body and mind engaged.
What stands out most about F45 Remuera is its community. The studio's success stories span mental and physical health, weight loss, body transformation and members using training to manage serious health conditions — including a 61-year-old building stamina while combating multiple sclerosis and a member who credits the F45 family and friendships with helping her through cancer treatment.
Local reviews echo the same warmth. One member, told by friends and family she was too old for F45, reports feeling fitter and leaner after just ten sessions. Another, nearer 60 than 40 and never a gym person, says she now hates missing a class. A third describes arriving unable to get off the floor without grunting and, six weeks later, doing star jumps. The consistent theme: work at your own pace in a fun group environment, supported the entire time by amazing coaches.
New to F45? The studio offers a 7 Day Trial — the easiest way to sample the classes, meet the trainers and feel the difference for yourself. You can browse the class schedule and book sessions online, and the F45 app makes managing your training simple.
