Solstice is a boutique gym at 54 Upper Queen Street in Eden Terrace, Auckland, with capped membership so the floor is rarely crowded. The website lists a Finnish sauna, an ice bath garden, private changing rooms and a luxury towel service, and the equipment is Hammer Strength, Technogym and Matrix. Chiropractic care, sports massage and wellness specialists are on site. Members can have a body composition scan, and each member starts with a one-on-one consultation and a personalised programme, with personal training sessions every six weeks.
The programme is delivered in 30 to 60 minute sessions within seven days of signing up, and members track it on the TrueCoach app. Coaches check in at 14 days and again at weeks two and four of the first eight weeks. Customers quoted on the website praise the community, the clean and modern equipment, and the lack of waiting for machines, and one says the sauna is included in membership. The website lists the head coach and founder as Richard Janett, with other coaches in performance, wellness, strength and movement. Street parking is available on Upper Queen Street, subject to hourly pricing.
