The facility emphasizes full-service fitness with structured small-group training, high-intensity interval classes, and supportive personal training packages.

Be Active Fitness: Full-Service Training and Outdoor Lifting in Glenview
Finding a gym that balances comprehensive training equipment, quality coaching, and genuine affordability can be a challenge. Located in the Urlich Shopping Centre behind the front shops in Glenview, Be Active Fitness serves South Hamilton, Melville, and staff from nearby Waikato Hospital with a functional, community-driven fitness space.
Open every day of the year from 4:30 am to 10:30 pm, the facility is designed around member accessibility. Whether you are an early-morning worker squeezing in cardio before a shift or an evening lifter hitting the weights floor after hours, the gym provides steady, dependable access without restrictive schedules.
Versatile Indoor Equipment and 'The Jungle'
Inside, Be Active Fitness houses a complete spread of strength and conditioning equipment. The weights section features cable stations, free-weight racks, lifting cages, and pin-loaded machines to accommodate both beginners and experienced lifters. Cardiovascular fitness is well-supported by treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machines, and cross trainers.
One of the gym's defining features is 'The Jungle', a dedicated covered outdoor workout space. This outdoor training area allows lifters and functional fitness enthusiasts to train with sleds, weights, and conditioning gear in the fresh air while remaining sheltered from the elements.
Fast-Paced Group Classes and Tailored Coaching
For those who thrive on structured workouts, Be Active Fitness runs a diverse timetable of 30-minute group fitness classes. These sessions are kept to small groups and lean heavily into High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). With formats ranging from Tabata and Bootcamps to Pump, Shred, and Strength classes, members can fit focused, efficient training into busy routines.
Coaching is woven directly into the membership structure rather than treated as an afterthought. Memberships include regular one-on-one personal training sessions—either bi-monthly with the standard Be Active plan or weekly through the Be Trained program. Trainers provide form guidance, professional body fat and muscle composition testing, and nutritional advice to help members work toward clear, sustainable fitness goals.
