About OC Health Clubs

OC Health Clubs is Queenstown's first dedicated mind and body health club, established in 2021 with a clear focus on sustainable, long-term health over short-term intensity. Rather than functioning as a standard self-service gym, OC delivers a fully coach-led environment where every member is known by name and supported through a structured, comprehensive health framework.

The club pairs personalized coaching with its proprietary OC Health House system, integrating physical exercise with essential foundations such as sleep optimization, nutrition, movement quality, and daily habits. Whether training through tailored one-to-one personal training or community-focused group fitness sessions, members receive ongoing accountability, baseline movement assessments, and six-week progress retests designed to build lasting consistency.

OC Health Clubs: Redefining Queenstown Fitness Through Coaching and Whole-Body Health

Founded in 2021 by Chaz Monaghan, OC Health Clubs emerged to offer Queenstown locals an alternative to traditional gym environments. Rather than supplying rows of unattended machines where members must figure things out alone, OC was created as Queenstown's first mind and body health club. The core philosophy centers on long-term sustainability rather than unsustainable intensity, delivering coaching, community, and structure that help members build lasting habits.

From the moment members begin, they are introduced to the OC Health House framework. While exercise remains a cornerstone, the club's philosophy acknowledges that true health extends beyond the gym floor. Training is integrated alongside vital lifestyle pillars including sleep optimization, nutrition, daily movement quality, environmental factors, and realistic goal setting. This whole-person model has driven strong engagement across Queenstown, evidenced by a 92% member attendance rate compared to typical fitness industry averages.

The Stronger You Pathway

Every member's journey at OC Health Clubs follows a deliberate 4-step progression designed to eliminate guesswork. The process begins with an introductory consultation to discuss personal goals, medical background, and past training experiences. From there, members undergo a detailed movement assessment and baseline testing—evaluating mobility, injury history, and starting measures.

Once the baseline is set, participants progress into their personalized 28-day programme, choosing between personal training or group fitness tracks. Every session is led by a coach who provides hands-on guidance, correcting technique and adjusting loads as needed. On Day 28, members retest using the exact same metrics recorded on Day 1, giving tangible data on their strength and functional movement gains.

Multidisciplinary Coaching Team

The coaching roster at OC Health Clubs blends clinical knowledge with athletic coaching. Founder Chaz Monaghan established the club's movement philosophy, supported by personal trainers and movement specialists like Avi, who brings physiotherapy support experience, and Yvane, who incorporates osteopathic principles into functional movement training. Precision corrective exercise coach Ash works with members managing past injuries, while Joe provides progressive strength development, and Matt leads intuitive, mindful movement and yoga sessions.

Beyond floor training, the club offers educational resources through the OC Academy, providing short courses on science-backed sleep improvement and practical goal-setting systems. By combining continuous coaching, objective assessment, and a tight-knit local community, OC Health Clubs provides Queenstown residents with a structured, supported approach to health.
