BFT Gisborne, at 18 Gladstone Road in Kaiti, is the local branch of Body Fit Training — a franchise group fitness brand built around one promise: "Group Strength & Conditioning Training. Backed by Science. Proven by Results." Its proprietary system of science-backed progressive workouts is designed to build lean muscle and burn fat, with every session led by dedicated, highly trained coaches.
Workouts run a focused 50 minutes and draw on a massive variety of program styles — cardio, strength, functional and core stability, among others — with the club's philosophy that boredom is simply not allowed. Programming is deliberately progression-based rather than scattered: each studio delivers the same structured workout on a given day, so training builds consistently toward measurable results. An innovative heart rate monitor system helps members train at the right intensity, and the atmosphere is as much a drawcard as the training — motivating, encouraging members and coaches who are there to motivate, educate, inspire and push, in what the club calls personal training in a group setting.
For members chasing a bigger goal, the studio runs 8 Week Challenges tailored to individual ambitions, whether that's weight loss, muscle gain, breaking a plateau or building healthier habits. Challenges include the BFT Challenge App with daily meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and nutrition and training advice, plus unlimited training at any BFT studio with technology tracking — including Evolt body composition scans and BFT heart rate tech. Doors open early, from 5am on weekdays through to 7:30pm, with Saturday mornings from 6am; first-timers are warmly invited to come in and talk goals — after all, as the club puts it, your goals are as unique as you are.
At 18 Gladstone Road in Kaiti, BFT Gisborne is the local home of Body Fit Training — a franchise group fitness brand built on one simple promise: "Group Strength & Conditioning Training. Backed by Science. Proven by Results." The studio's own tagline captures what members say keeps them coming back: come for the results, stay for the community. Whether the goal is losing weight, building muscle, breaking through a fitness plateau or simply developing healthier habits, the Gisborne team invites anyone curious to come in and talk about how BFT can transform their training.
BFT's proprietary system rests on science-backed, progressive workouts designed to build lean muscle and blast away fat. Sessions run a focused 50 minutes and draw on a massive variety of program styles — cardio, strength, functional and core stability, among others — with the firm belief that boredom is not allowed. No two workouts feel the same, so members stay engaged week after week.
That variety doesn't mean chaos. Programming is deliberately progression-based: rather than scattered, random sessions, every BFT studio delivers the same structured workout on a given day as part of an innovative progression program. The point is consistency — training that builds sensibly toward measurable results, whatever your stage of fitness.
Every class is led by dedicated, highly trained coaches. BFT describes the experience as personal training in a group setting: coaches are by your side to motivate, educate, inspire and push you toward your goals. The brand's elite, high-performance group training methods are tailored to deliver results for every stage of fitness, which means first-timers and seasoned athletes can train side by side and both get exactly what they need.
Just as important is the atmosphere. BFT studios are filled with motivating, encouraging members, and it's this community environment that turns newcomers into regulars — the results bring people in, and the people make them stay.
Progress at BFT isn't guesswork. An innovative heart rate monitor system lets members train at the right intensity for maximum results, and the club's technology makes tracking simple: dedicated BFT and BFT Booking apps on iOS and Android put your training and class bookings in your pocket. During challenges, Evolt body composition scans add hard numbers to the picture, so you can see in real terms that the work is paying off.
For members who want a bigger reset, BFT runs 8 Week Challenges tailored to individual goals — weight loss, muscle gain, breaking a plateau or building healthier habits. Challenge participants get access to the BFT Challenge App, which includes daily meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and nutrition and training advice, alongside unlimited training at any BFT studio with technology tracking including Evolt scans and BFT heart rate tech. It's structure, accountability and a finish line all in one. Interested? The studio manager can share details of the next challenge and take registrations of interest.
