Anytime Fitness Rangiora is a 24-hour gym on King Street, offering members round-the-clock access alongside personalised coaching and group training. The club is independently owned by Paul and Julie Blackler, who describe themselves as passionate about the supportive, group-training side of fitness as much as the individual coaching side.
The gym is equipped with a full range of cardio machines, strength equipment including squat racks, barbells and a Smith machine, and functional training gear like battle ropes, kettlebells, TRX and plyometric boxes. Members also have access to Wexer virtual classes, small group training, personal training, fitness assessments and remote coaching, along with worldwide access to over 5,000 Anytime Fitness clubs.
The Rangiora team includes trainers Conrad Hynes, Anna Van Echten and Ivan Walters, along with manager Cheyenne Lierman and staff member Bella Fantham. While the gym itself is accessible to members 24/7, the team is on-site during set office hours for membership enquiries and support.
Anytime Fitness Rangiora, on King Street, offers North Canterbury a 24-hour gym experience built around both independence and support. Members can train whenever suits them, day or night, while still having access to personalised coaching and a strong sense of club culture when they want it.
The gym is fitted out with a full range of cardio equipment, including treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers, exercise cycles, stair climbers, rowing machines and spin bikes. On the strength side, members have access to squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, a leg press and a Smith machine, while the functional training area includes battle ropes, kettlebells, TRX, medicine balls, plyometric boxes and resistance bands.
Anytime Fitness Rangiora's coaching services go beyond just machines. Members can access personal training, small group training, fitness assessments, virtual coaching, remote coaching and team workouts, alongside Wexer virtual studio classes for those who want a guided session on their own schedule. The philosophy at Rangiora is that coaching should meet members where they are, rather than expecting them to adapt to a fixed programme.
The Rangiora club is run by owners Paul and Julie Blackler, who value the Anytime Fitness brand for the support and knowledge that comes from being part of an established, internationally recognised network. Julie has a particular passion for group training environments, valuing the energy and motivation that comes from working out alongside others. The coaching team includes Conrad Hynes, who balances gym coaching with training for Judo at an Olympic level, Anna Van Echten, a former gymnastics and athletics competitor who blends high performance with a grounded approach, and Ivan Walters, who focuses on building strong habits through hypertrophy, strength and bodyweight training. Cheyenne Lierman manages the club day-to-day, supported by staff member Bella Fantham.
As a 24-hour gym, Anytime Fitness Rangiora is accessible to members at any time via secure keycard access. The team is on-site during set office hours to help with membership enquiries, discuss options, or simply show newcomers around the club, though the gym floor itself remains open to members outside of these hours.
Membership at Anytime Fitness Rangiora includes access to more than 5,000 Anytime Fitness clubs worldwide, useful for members who travel or split their time between locations. The club also offers flexible, customised membership plans built around individual goals, whether that's training for a specific event or building a long-term fitness habit.
Anytime Fitness Rangiora is located at 194 King Street in Rangiora, with plenty of parking on site. Prospective members are welcome to stop in during office hours to meet the team and see the club, or reach out directly to arrange a free trial.
