The Zone: Sports Science and Wellness Centre is part of Ara, on its City campus in central Christchurch, at the corner of Madras Street, Moorhouse Avenue and Barbadoes Street. The website describes a purpose-built sports science facility offering health, wellbeing and sports performance services to athletes of all levels, community groups and organisations. Services include advice on packages to meet a person's goals. Bachelor of Applied Science students observe and assist practitioners in their second and third years, which is part of their training. The website says the health services are offered at affordable prices, and that bookings can be made online.
Customers mention the gym equipment, the fair prices for students, and the showers and locker room. One says a practitioner called Kylie helped with a mindset shift, in a friendly and supportive way that felt safe. Another says Kylie helped with a healthy eating plan and a workable weight-loss programme for back pain. Reviewers mention the staff and the services. Our pick in central Christchurch for health coaching and sports science on a university campus.
