Genesis Fitness is a premium gym facility in the heart of Remuera, overlooking the College Rifles sporting complex at 33 Haast Street. The 2,000 square metre, state-of-the-art facility spans two fully air-conditioned, spacious buildings and gives members access to the latest FreeMotion cardio and strength training equipment, Group Fitness Classes, a Reformer Pilates studio and a CrossFit affiliated box.
The setup is designed for fuss-free visits: more than 250 free onsite parking spaces, and sauna facilities inside the luxury changing rooms in each building. Staff are friendly and helpful, experienced in helping members achieve their goals — whether muscle building, weight loss, improved fitness, or simply staying active.
Newcomers can kick start their fitness journey with a three-day free trial, and the gym is in close proximity to the St Johns, St Heliers, Meadowbank, Kohimarama and Glen Innes suburbs.
Genesis Fitness calls itself Remuera's premium fitness facility, and the setting backs up the claim. The gym occupies a 2,000 square metre site at 33 Haast Street, in the heart of the suburb and overlooking the College Rifles sporting complex. Training happens across two spacious, fully air-conditioned buildings, and with more than 250 free onsite parking spaces, a visit never starts with circling the block. It is a setup designed so that everything from a quick lunchtime session to a full evening of training runs without friction.
The range of ways to train is what gives Genesis its breadth. Members have access to the latest FreeMotion cardio and strength training equipment, a timetable of Group Fitness Classes, a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio and a CrossFit affiliated box on site, with experienced staff on hand whatever the goal — muscle building, weight loss, improved fitness, or simply staying active.
At the centre of it all is the gym floor, kitted out with FreeMotion cardio and strength machines. That mix means a beginner can settle into a gentle cardio routine while, a few metres away, someone else works through a heavy strength session — no need for separate gyms for different goals.
Members who like the structure and energy of a class can pick from the Group Fitness schedule, with sessions bookable online in advance. The Reformer Pilates studio offers a lower-impact counterpoint: equipment-based training that builds strength, control and mobility without pounding the joints. And for those who want their training intense and communal, the CrossFit affiliated box brings functional, high-intensity workouts under the same roof.
Personal training rounds out the options, and the team describes itself as friendly and helpful — experienced in helping members work toward their goals, whichever stage of the fitness journey they're at.
Recovery gets real attention here. Each of the luxury changing rooms has sauna facilities inside, so it's easy to finish a session, shower, and spend time in the heat before heading home. Both buildings are fully air conditioned and spacious, which matters in an Auckland summer and on busy weeknight floors.
The practical details carry through to arrival and departure too. The 250-plus free onsite parking spaces mean driving to the gym is genuinely convenient rather than a compromise, and the position beside the College Rifles sporting complex gives the whole place a proper sporting feel.
Newcomers don't have to commit blind. Genesis offers a three-day free trial with online signup — enough time to test the gym floor at different hours, try a class and see whether the place fits your routine. Memberships and session bookings are handled through the website, so managing your training week is mostly a few clicks.
The gym serves Remuera itself but also works for people in nearby suburbs — it's in close proximity to St Johns, St Heliers, Meadowbank, Kohimarama and Glen Innes, and the large free car park makes the drive easy.
Hours run early to late on weekdays, with doors opening at 5.30am Monday through Friday for the before-work crowd. Closing is at 8.30pm Monday to Thursday and 8pm on Fridays. Weekends run slightly shorter: 7am to 6pm on Saturdays and 8am to 5pm on Sundays.
Whether the aim is a first-ever gym membership or a facility serious enough to anchor a long-term training plan, Genesis Fitness presents a straightforward proposition: space, equipment, classes and recovery options in one place, with staff who have seen every kind of goal walk through the door.
