THE LIST

Lisa Hansen is the person to know when one on one attention and a proper challenge are required. HardCORE centres on core strength, function and technique, with personal training, small group sessions and online training available.

Lisa’s own strength and discipline are seriously motivating too.

Tucked into Worcester Boulevard, this private health club offers a more personal alternative to the anonymous gym floor.

Cardio, resistance training, free weights and personal training make it ideal for those who prefer a focused city workout with individual support.

Based in Rolleston, The Lill Gym pushes well beyond the standard workout with HIIT, altitude training, infrared hot yoga and wellness experiences.

It is fitness and recovery considered as one complete experience.

Core Pilates and Mind brings together Reformer and mat Pilates, yoga, barre and restorative movement from its Northwood studio.

The appeal is balance: serious technique and strength without losing the calmer, more considered side of wellbeing.

Sitting on Peterborough Street beside The George, Thrive combines strength training, personal coaching, sports conditioning and Reformer Pilates.

It has the equipment and expertise for serious training while retaining the feel of an independent Christchurch gym.

One of the newer additions to Christchurch’s wellness landscape, Kula brings together yoga, mindful movement, Pilates and community from its central city studio.

For those who want their fitness with a little more intention, this is the one. Movement, strength and stillness without the traditional gym floor.
