BuildaBody is a gym in Alicetown, Lower Hutt, that trains people through what it calls the B.A.B. Method, a three-stage approach to lasting change. The first stage identifies and removes the habits and stresses holding a person back, the second builds new habits with support along the way, and the third helps them keep those habits over the long term. Members can take strength and cardio training and group classes for all levels, and follow a personalised program that covers training and nutrition. The gym also has locations in Upper Hutt and Mount Cook.
Members who write about the gym say the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, that each class is different, and that the team checks in on progress. One member says the strength they built helped them go into surgery fit and strong. The gym's stated goals include weight loss, muscle gain and athletic performance. For someone in Lower Hutt who wants coaching built into every session, the Wakefield Street gym is the local option.
