The facility offers state-of-the-art equipment in an environment reviewers consistently describe as friendly, quiet and welcoming, with many noting they never have to wait for a machine.

Beyond the gym floor, Strength Works offers personal training, an infrared sauna for recovery, personalised nutrition advice, and Muay Thai and boxing sessions, plus small group classes through the week. Every membership includes a free trainer-designed programme renewed every eight weeks and a nutrition consultation, alongside discounts on other local services.

For more than seven years, Strength Works has been the Bay of Islands' home for round-the-clock strength training. Located at 14 Sammaree Place in Kerikeri, this premium 24-hour strength and conditioning facility was founded on a simple idea: health and fitness shouldn't have to wait for opening hours. Whether you're an early riser squeezing in a session before work or a night owl who trains best after midnight, your swipe card gets you in — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The 24/7 model is at the heart of what makes Strength Works different. Life in Northland is busy, and the team's mission is to provide a top-tier strength training environment that accommodates your schedule, no matter how packed it gets. The gym is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment, and reviewers regularly point out something rare for any gym: you never have to wait for a machine. Many describe it as a quiet, friendly space where the staff and members make every visit a good one.
That welcoming atmosphere is no accident. Strength Works is deliberately inclusive, built so that members of all experience levels — from complete beginners to experienced lifters — can thrive.
What truly sets the gym apart is its coaching team. Personal trainer Dayna describes herself as super passionate about helping clients reach their goals, whether that's stepping into the gym for the very first time, building strength and confidence, or chasing a specific fitness milestone. Her number one aim is helping people feel comfortable and confident, both in the gym and in life.
The results speak for themselves. One member, who was paralysed down her left side after a stroke, credits trainer Peter with helping her learn to walk again — praising his motivation and the confidence he gave her to push her boundaries.
Every membership also includes a free programme designed by a personal trainer to match your goals, renewed and updated every eight weeks so your training keeps progressing.
Strength training is only half the story. The gym's state-of-the-art infrared sauna penetrates deeper into tissues than a traditional sauna while running at a gentle 65°C, supporting detoxification, stress relief, pain relief, circulation and post-workout recovery. Thirty-minute sessions are available during staffed hours, and members pay less than casual users.
Nutrition is covered too, with the motto that real fitness happens in the kitchen as well. Kayla, an experienced exercise and sport scientist, personal trainer, yoga instructor and sports nutritionist, works one-on-one with members to build realistic, sustainable plans — no fad diets or quick fixes. A nutrition consultation is included free with every membership.
For something different, Muay Thai and boxing sessions run on Wednesdays with Sailor, a trainer with 11 years of martial arts experience and tournaments around the country under his belt. Private sessions are available for anyone keen to learn, from fundamentals through to advanced technique.
Community is a big part of the Strength Works experience. Group classes bring members together through the week — HIIT/CrossFit on Monday evenings and Tone and Sculpt on Tuesdays, both at 6:30pm. Bring a Buddy Tuesdays let members share a session with a local Northland friend for free, up to three times, and membership perks even extend beyond the gym with discounts on Foilin Around sessions and a 10% LSKD discount code.
New to it all? A 7-day free trial lets you try the gym for a full week — just pick up your key during staffed hours and bring proof of a mid-Northland address. With affordable weekly and annual plans, student rates, and a team genuinely invested in your progress, Strength Works makes it easy to start. Your strength. Their mission.
