Flex Fitness Belfast is a 24/7 gym on Bellewood Avenue in Belfast, north Christchurch — the suburb's newest club in the Flex Fitness New Zealand network. Members train on industry-leading Life Fitness equipment, recover in the onsite sauna, and join a community the club describes as welcoming and supportive of every goal, at whatever hour suits their day.
Beyond the training floor, the club offers personal one-on-one coaching and LevelUp, a structured group fitness programme that brings the advantages of personal training into a class setting, catering from beginners right through to advanced athletes. The Belfast team includes head coach and personal trainer Izak Perigo, plus group fitness coaches and personal trainers Darcy Tunnicliff and Kirsty Garing.
Supporting touches include free onsite parking, an in-club supplements range covering protein powder, pre-workout and vitamins, and a members app for booking PT sessions, recording biometrics and accessing daily workouts. Training access runs around the clock, seven days a week, with staffed hours of 9am–7pm Monday to Thursday and 9am–1pm Friday and Saturday.
On Belfast's Bellewood Avenue, a new kind of gym has arrived in north Christchurch. Flex Fitness Belfast bills itself as the suburb's newest and finest 24/7 gym, and the pitch is simple: industry-leading equipment, a sauna for recovery, and a welcoming community that supports your goals — whatever hour of the day you choose to chase them.
Flex Fitness is a New Zealand-wide network with clubs stretching from Auckland to Queenstown, and the Belfast branch brings the brand's formula to Christchurch's northern suburbs. Whether you're an early riser fitting in a session before work or a night owl who trains while the neighbourhood sleeps, the club's doors never really close.
The club's own tagline is "more than just a gym", and the facilities list backs it up. The training floor is kitted out with Life Fitness equipment, one of the industry's most recognised names, so whether you're lifting, pushing or pulling, you're working on well-built machines and racks.
Recovery gets its own moment too. The onsite sauna is there for what the club calls the health benefits of improved circulation, faster muscle recovery, detoxification and stress relief — a proper wind-down after a heavy session. And if you drive, as most in Belfast do, free onsite parking removes one more excuse to skip a workout.
For fuel, there's a supplements range in-club covering the protein powder, pre-workout and vitamins members need to perform at their best.
The flagship group offering is LevelUp, a structured group fitness programme purpose-built to do exactly what its name suggests: level up your training and confidence. By bringing the advantages of personal training into the group fitness environment, it creates an exciting setting where members can work towards becoming the strongest, fittest and leanest version of themselves.
The programme is designed to cater to beginners right through to advanced athletes, and it's built so that no components of fitness are overlooked. Sessions run to a timetable published on the club's page, so you can plan your week around the classes that suit your goals.
Personal training is on offer for members who want one-on-one attention. According to the club, working with their expert personal trainers helps you maximise your workout, reach your fitness goals faster, and recover from injury.
The Belfast team includes Izak Perigo, the club's head coach and a personal trainer, alongside Darcy Tunnicliff and Kirsty Garing, both group fitness coaches and personal trainers. Between them, they cover the group programme and individual coaching alike, so there's a familiar face whether you're in a packed class or a private session.
The 24/7 model is the headline act, but the digital toolkit matters too. The club's members app lets you book and pay for personal training, build a personal profile, record biometrics and connect to other fitness apps. Daily workouts and exclusive promotional offers live there as well — and the team in-club can walk you through the download.
Not ready to commit sight unseen? A virtual tour of the club is available online, and a free pass can be claimed through the Flex Fitness website for anyone who'd rather try before they buy.
