Train while they play.

The playroom is what makes this a family gym. A safe, dedicated space for under-7s, fenced off from the gym floor, so you can actually finish a workout.

  • Suitable for children under 7
  • A variety of activities and toys
  • Kids' movies on a large screen with a seating area
  • Separated from all gym equipment by a child-safety fence
  • CCTV with a live feed viewable from the gym floor

Parents remain responsible for their children at all times. The playroom is a safe space with CCTV and a live feed into the gym area, but we strongly recommend adult supervision. Many parents train while their kids are in an after-school class, or take turns with another responsible adult watching the playroom.

Georgia Jensen, gym manager at Maungaturoto Family Fitness

Meet Georgia.

Georgia Jensen is our gym manager and the face you'll see around the place. A long-term Kaipara resident, Georgia is passionate about community, fitness and family, and about building a gym where everyone in Maungaturoto feels welcome, whatever their starting point.

"This gym is for our community. Whether you've trained for years or never set foot in a gym, you belong here."

Maungaturoto Family Fitness is locally owned and locally run. Your membership stays in the community and keeps a gym in it.

The things people ask.

What does the Founding price lock mean?

Annual Founding members keep $18/week pricing for as long as their membership stays continuously active, even after standard prices change. If it lapses or is cancelled, rejoining is at the current rate.

Is there a contract?

Our standard memberships are 12 month terms, billed weekly by direct debit through GymMaster, or annually upfront for Founding annual members. A no contract option is also available for an additional $5 per month on the standard plan.

How does 24/7 access work?

Entry runs on our GymMaster access system. Members get secure swipe access any time, day or night, and the gym is monitored and access controlled for everyone's safety.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, that's the point. The playroom suits under-7s with toys, activities and movies on the big screen, fenced off from the gym floor. Kids' and family classes run after school.

Is the playroom supervised?

Parents and caregivers remain responsible for their children at all times. The playroom has CCTV with a live feed into the gym area, and we strongly recommend adult supervision. Train while your kids are in an after-school class, or take turns with another responsible adult in the playroom.

I've never been to a gym. Is this for me?

Absolutely. Beginner friendly is one of our founding promises: easy introductions, beginner classes, and staff who'd rather help than hover.

Do you offer family discounts?

Yes. Family discounts are available with a minimum of three memberships. To qualify, payment for all family members is made from one account, with one primary account holder.

Is the gym accessible?

Yes. Ramp entry, accessible parking, and a fully accessible bathroom, all built to NZ accessibility standards.

When exactly do you open?

Doors open early August, with the exact day confirmed soon. Pre-sale memberships open 23 July, with waitlist members getting first access to Founding pricing.
