Focus on achieving goals at<br />
Hornby fitness centre<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
For Hornby residents, there’s no<br />
reason not to stay fit when the<br />
Hornby fitness studio Anytime<br />
Fitness is open 24 hours a day,<br />
plus being conveniently located in the<br />
heart of the Hornby shopping area, it is<br />
easy to access too.<br />
At just over 17 months old, this bright,<br />
modern, unisex gym offers facilities that<br />
are in tip-top condition and very clean.<br />
There are eight friendly staff members,<br />
including five personal trainers, who have<br />
members’ best interests at heart.<br />
Anytime Fitness offers a range of group<br />
fitness classes, as well as virtual classes,<br />
with the focus being on helping people<br />
achieve their health and fitness goals, says<br />
manager Chris.<br />
On joining the club, new members<br />
are given one hour free with a personal<br />
trainer, who will show them how to use<br />
the equipment and give them exercises to<br />
get them started, she says.<br />
“We like to work on people,” Chris<br />
says. “We ask new members if they’ve<br />
belonged to a fitness club before and we<br />
talk to them about what their goals are and<br />
see if their plans for what they want to do<br />
at the gym measure up realistically with<br />
these goals.<br />
“We nurture our members, and if they<br />
haven’t been to the gym regularly we<br />
follow up by text or email to make sure<br />
everything is alright with them, and help<br />
them get back on track if necessary.”<br />
This can include a motivation session<br />
with a personal trainer and a free six to<br />
eight-week programme, depending on<br />
their lack of use.<br />
“After all, they have paid to join the gym,<br />
so we want to show them we appreciate<br />
that and encourage them to keep up their<br />
fitness regime by giving them a kick-start<br />
if they need it,” Chris says.<br />
Prospective members who are not<br />
sure about joining up are offered a free,<br />
no-obligation seven-day trial on seven<br />
consecutive days. As of <strong>September</strong> 1, the<br />
club has also introduced a new month-tomonth<br />
flexible contract.<br />
Members of Anytime Fitness Hornby<br />
are all ages and from all walks of life, with<br />
a lot of families belonging to the club.<br />
“One person will join, and they enjoy<br />
it so much they tell their family members<br />
about it and they come along too. Those<br />
referrals are a testament to how good our<br />
club is,” Chris says.<br />
The club also runs a number of social<br />
events and activities during the year,<br />
which gives members the opportunity to<br />
socialise and get to know each other.<br />
Members of Anytime Fitness Hornby<br />
can also access all five of the Anytime<br />
Fitness centres in Christchurch, as well as<br />
the other 24 centres around New Zealand,<br />
and the thousands across the world.<br />
