Jetts Takapuna is a 24-hour gym on Auburn Street in the heart of Takapuna, Auckland, offering what the club describes as a friendly, relaxed atmosphere alongside qualified exercise professionals. Part of the Jetts New Zealand network, the club is open around the clock so members can train whenever it suits them, with staffed hours during the week and on Saturday mornings for anyone who wants extra support or a tour.
The training floor covers all the essentials: pin loaded equipment, free weights and a weights area for strength work, a cardio area with cardio equipment for endurance sessions and warm-ups, a functional training zone for varied movement work, and a dedicated stretching area for mobility and recovery. Standout equipment on the list includes the Matrix Glute Trainer and a Performance StairMaster, and the club is rounded out with change rooms and free wifi.
Personal training is available on site, with four trainers covering goals from strength and weight loss to rehabilitation, flexibility, nutrition guidance and sport-specific preparation. Newcomers can get a feel for the club with a 3 Day Free Trial Pass (terms and conditions apply), and joining is designed to be quick — sign up online and train in minutes using the Jetts NZ app.
Jetts Takapuna brings the Jetts approach to fitness — friendly, relaxed and refreshingly uncomplicated — to Auburn Street in the heart of Takapuna. The club is part of the wider Jetts New Zealand network, but it operates with the feel of a neighbourhood gym: qualified exercise professionals on hand, a floor that covers all the training essentials, and an open-all-hours policy that puts your schedule first.
The club's own framing says a lot about its philosophy. It invites people to reap the positive impact exercise has on your physical and mental health in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere alongside qualified exercise professionals. Fitness here is positioned as something that should lift both body and mind, in a space where newcomers and long-time regulars can train without pressure.
Jetts Takapuna is open 24 hours, so early risers, late shifters and everyone in between can train when it suits them. The club also publishes clear staffed hours — the windows when team members are actually on site. Monday runs 10:00 am to 2:30 pm and again 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Tuesday through Thursday are staffed 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturday mornings are covered from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Friday and Sunday are unstaffed, though the gym itself remains accessible to members.
That combination — round-the-clock access with real humans during the busy windows — is the sweet spot for a lot of people. You get the convenience of a 24/7 gym without losing the support, accountability and face-to-face help of a staffed club.
The Takapuna club lists a full spread of training zones and equipment. Pin loaded machines provide guided resistance work, there is a free weights area plus additional weights for building strength, and a cardio area stocked with cardio equipment handles warm-ups, endurance sessions and conditioning days.
For more varied training, the functional training zone gives you open space to move, while the dedicated stretching area covers mobility, cool-downs and recovery. Two pieces of kit stand out on the equipment list: the Matrix Glute Trainer, a specialised machine for targeted glute work, and the Performance StairMaster for serious stair-climbing cardio. Practicalities are covered too, with change rooms on site and free wifi throughout the club.
Four personal trainers work out of Jetts Takapuna, each with a distinct set of specialties:
**John Choi** focuses on cardiovascular and endurance training, flexibility and mobility, nutrition and dietary guidance, and weight management and body composition.
**Shannon Deakin** coaches sport-specific training, strength and weight loss.
**Scott Kippenberger** covers functional and sports-specific training, general health and fitness, and weight management and body composition.
**Michaela Fleming** brings flexibility and mobility work, rehabilitation and injury prevention, strength and conditioning, and weight management and body composition.
Between them, the team spans a broad spectrum of goals — whether you are chasing your first proper strength program, coming back from an injury, preparing for a sport, or simply want structure and accountability around your training.
The easiest way to try the club is the 3 Day Free Trial Pass, which lets you experience training at Jetts Takapuna before committing to a membership (terms and conditions apply). If it clicks, you can join online and, in the club's words, be training in minutes with the Jetts NZ app — the companion app for membership and training on the go.
Questions about memberships or personal training can go to the club directly on 021 305 208, or to the Jetts support line, 0800 JETTS 247. Jetts New Zealand is also active on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube if you want a feel for the community before your first visit.
For anyone on Auckland's North Shore looking for a gym that stays open around the clock but still keeps a friendly, neighbourhood feel, Jetts Takapuna makes a straightforward case: solid equipment across strength, cardio and functional training, four qualified personal trainers, free wifi, and a free trial to see whether it fits your routine.
