The greatest feeling you can have at this gym when you walked in is the staff the most friendly and happy people I know
Quiet when you first meet them but give it a day or two you will see giggling laughing,cheerful vibes
One of the top best vibes I can say from 13 other gym I have visited. The morning atmosphere is slow quiet but filled with positive members who are caring, sharing and help you out with tips if you asked
but all training on a high note. Morning hiit classes always run good with high energy and some light clowning around just for you to fit right in. Night time atmosphere is where the magic happens
Everyone knows almost everyone, the energy vibes is fun,positive,inspiring happy faces and smiles, inspiring people to watch and you are left feeling great both the floor and group classes before leaving
and your health and safety is really important to them
I've Known a lot of the members and staff for close to 5 years now
But they will always be the best gym family I have ever known so check it out if that is what you are looking for. Big love to fitness cartel manukau 🙏🔥💯

What stands out most about Fitness Cartel is the culture. It’s positive, driven, and genuinely supportive. There’s a real family feel — people push each other, celebrate wins together, and create an environment where everyone feels like they belong. No egos, just good energy and hard work. That culture makes all the difference.

Stu was awesome for deal with. Friendly and cosy environment also. Seems everyone walking out of there looks like Olympians 🤣🤣.
Alison Heremaia
First impression it's a whole package ⭐ everything you want from beginning to end cardio,weights gym classes, reformer Pilates even food and shakes available..you really just have to check it out. I joined with my teen daughter who has her own fitness goals she has already made friends so it's enjoyable and it fits us both
RA
Good gym, good equipment, good service!!! If something is broken, gets fixed by the next day or 2. They are always upgrading their equipment and spaces. Good pricing for the size of the gym!!
Anshul
The hype is real, great vibe and a top tier protein bar & recovery room! Some of the equipment is definitely worn out, but gets the job done and there is an extensive range. Additionally have observed staff doing a check-list of equipment daily.
Dana Hill
Nice clean venue with new top of the line equipment. Does get busy in the evenings after work however, but that is expected at any popular gym
Rehaan Khan
Zia and Tina honestly make the gym such a great place to be. They’re both super welcoming, always bring good energy, and really look out for people. Whether it’s giving tips on form, answering questions, or just having a friendly chat, they make the gym feel comfortable and motivating. You can tell they actually care about the members, and it makes a huge difference. Training is always better when Zia and Tina are around.
Andrew Nuamaan
Zia was friendly and helpful around the gym always has a smile and always there to help. Tina was also there and makes my day because she’s always has a smile on her face and says hello every time I walk in. Tonga makes the most amazing shakes and hands them out with a smile and he’s there to help as well 🔥🔥
Charlie Betti
I love the protein shake bar. They are so tasty and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Would like a free trial at the gym or the day pass to be a bit cheaper so I could try the gym.
Roveena Gill
Love the gym and the vibes
Gina Cocker
From the moment you walk in, always greeted with a smile from Dani at reception, so warm and friendly. Grace also makes the best shakes! Lovely staff to greet on you arrival, great facilities too.

Staff are very friendly
ricardo valdes
Trained for the first time at fitness cartel Manukau and couldn’t believe how flash everything was! So many different machines to choose from, amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! Got a great gym tour by Dominique and she made a great protein smoothie too (recommend the snickers one!). Have to check it out 😎💪
Todd Sutherland
One of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at! This gym ticks every box. The equipment selection is second to none — everything from free weights to machines is available, and all in great condition. Even when it's busy, there’s always something free to use thanks to the multiple training zones. No waiting around like in other gyms. The class studios are top-notch, especially the Reformer Pilates room — super clean and well-equipped. The recovery area is a massive bonus too, with two saunas and three ice baths that help me bounce back faster after tough sessions. Staff are always welcoming and helpful, the bathrooms are modern and spotless, and there’s plenty of parking. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

After being at my previous gym for about 10 years, I felt like I needed a change and FC was my choice after testing the waters on a few other gyms. I've been there about 6 months now and there's no going back. There's everything you could ask for when it comes to a well equipped gym. From a big variety of cable and plate loaded machines, a quarter of the main floor dedicated to leg machines, multiple squat racks and smith machines, a whole lot of dumbbells, an entire level of the gym dedicated to cardio and stretching as well as 5 stair masters for all the cardio queens out there. The receiption staff there are always welcoming with a smile, especially Kieran where not only does he know how to crack a laugh but also makes the best protein shakes, always a double pump for the bro. All round great vibes from Fitness Cartel.

Adrian is attentive and professional in his approach to personal training with clients, providing one on one support and advice that work towards improving physical health and well being. He demonstrates how to lift with correct form when exercising to prevent injury and tailors one on one sessions/programs to your bodies capabilities while ensuring this aligns with your fitness goals. Adrian keeps you accountable towards these goals and tracks progress with regular weigh ins and measurements to monitor changes over time. While making suggestion towards nutrition or other exercises etc as required to see better results. Since accessing Adrian for personal training, outside of our regular training days. I am more confident and consistent with weight lifting exercises on my own which I found challenging in the past as I only preferred cardio exercise. Resulting in increased strength, endurance and time spent exercising throughout a week I highly recommend anyone looking for a new personal trainer based at Fitness Cartel Manukau to get in touch with Adrian today!
Anita Fraser
Love coming to fitness cartel. The membership is worth it if you’re using the Pilates reformer classes 2-3 times a week alone. I regularly attend these and RPM, and at other times do my own weights. Initially when I joined though I was under the impression Les mills virtual classes would be playing (like the fitness cartel gyms in Australia)..this isn’t the case but would give the gym extra stars if this could be added!!
Mohammed Sarfaraz
Tidy and well kept facility. Staff is awesome and friendly. Someone who id like to highlight is Adrian who is a personal trainer. A humble and supportive individual, highly recommend! If you’re a beginner like I am, Adrian is a supportive and encouraging trainer who will bring the best out of you!
Gladys Teaupa
Awesome gym equipment friendly staff and love the positive feel good vibes there. I would definitely recommend this awesome gym as there's so much space and different areas where you can train and workout comfortably.
Zina Firoa
FC Manukau is a vibe , love the layout, it flowed so well and preferred it over the FC here in GC. Staff were very helpful and friendly especially the male that served us, he took the time out to show us around even though we were only visiting from FC GC, would highly recommend 💯
Apocalypse
Live in Brisbane , come home occasionally . First visit here. Great large space gym . Pullup bars to do muscle ups . Wide selection of machines, plenty of lifting stations. Staff friendly and helpful
Jo Kelly
Shout out to Dani, Moses and CJ always holding it down, taking that extra step to get to know the members so they can engage in conversation and feel welcomed. 10/10

Walking into the gym for the first time was a mix of excitement and anxiety. I felt out of place and unsure of where to start. It was clear I needed guidance to navigate this new environment and truly make the most of my fitness journey. That’s when I found my personal trainer ADRIANNN!!!, and it changed everything. From our very first meeting, he took the time to understand my goals and concerns. He listened patiently as I expressed my struggles and aspirations, making me feel heard and valued. Together we worked towards achieving my goals. During our sessions, Adrian made the gym feel like a second home. He brought a contagious energy that turned each workout into something I looked forward to. Every session introduced challenges that kept me engaged and excited to push my limits. His focus on proper form and technique helped me gain confidence, ensuring I felt safe and effective in every movement. But it wasn’t just the workouts that made a difference—it was the connection we built. Adrian is not only a fitness expert but also a supportive mentor. He has a knack for cracking jokes, which really helps distract me from my hard workout. He really pushes you and really helps you to achieve your goals. It’s amazing how he can make a tough workout feel like a fun hangout with a friend. His encouragement motivated me on days when I had no energy to workout, reminding me that progress comes in many forms. Beyond the gym, Adrian offered invaluable insights into nutrition and wellness that transformed my approach to healthy living. He taught me how to fuel my body in a way that supports my goals while enjoying the process. This holistic approach made a world of difference, and I found myself not only feeling stronger physically but also more empowered in my daily life. Overall, my gym experience has been nothing short of life-changing, thanks to my incredible personal trainer. His dedication, expertise, and compassion has made my fitness journey enjoyable and fulfilling. I genuinely look forward to our session each week and if you’re looking to elevate your gym experience and truly reach your goals, I can’t recommend Adrian highly enough!

FITNESS CARTEL IS THE BEST GYM!!! I have previously been unenthusiastic towards working out, as I felt like I was getting nothing out of it, as well as feeling unwelcome in the gym space. With Fitness Cartel, I look forward to going to the gym. The staff are friendly, caring and kind. The cardio equipment is amazing, as you can track your progress each session. The equipment in general is kept clean and tidy. Another reason I enjoy going to this gym is Adrian. He helped me build my confidence, while improving my form. He's an awesome PT. He's non judgemental, but likes to push you to your limit. He has helped me focus on the main areas I need to focus on improving. Also He's a good mate to talk to about pointers and room for improvement. Lastly the classes. I have never been pushed so hard in my life, but it's super rewarding. I mainly do the Strength class, the instructors (Ree and Yolanda) are awesome. Every morning at the start, I feel half asleep, but by the end of it I feel like I've pushed myself to the max and feel amazing for the rest of the day. They have made me look forward to going to every class and I strongly recommend anyone to give it a go. So main takeaway from this is that Fitness Cartel is an amazing gym and you should 100% join.

I have been going to this gym for the past 2 months. I love it. The reformer class with Andre is just the best reformer class ever. Also, the fitness classes with Rhee and Yolanda are super great. The gym facilities are always clean and tidy. Highly recommended it
Molly
Edit: The GM ended up ringing and apologised about it all and was very helpful. Managed to get me signed up within a few days. Dont want to give it a one start review. But i have been trying to sign up for the last 2 months. I enquired online and no response, i rang up and said someone will be in touch, i then walked in and did a trial day and they never followed up with me, i have then emailed on facebook messenger and told me they would get back to me. It been 2 weeks now. Its terrible !!! Never expected it to be this difficult to sign up. All i wanted is a gym membership. I’m a fit person who wanted another gym membership, it’s so disappointing.
Leah Rhind
Great gym enviornment and staff
Stu Sutherland
Fitness Cartel Manukau is an amazing gym. This the only gym I know of that has the state of the art Gym80 Pure Kraft equipment. The staff are always smiling and welcoming. The gym itself has a positive, and friendly vibe with plenty of space to work out in. Additionally, the Spin and Reformer Pilates Studios are world class. I highly recommend Fitness Cartel Manukau to those who are keen to train in a first class facility and really achieve there health and fitness goals!

The staff are friendly and onto it, always greeting us as we come and go. The facilities are well looked after and always clean. A wide variety of classes to choose from with the class membership so there’s something for everyone. The smoothies are great as well 👍🏽 all round great vibes and a great place to unwind in the recovery room at the end of every session 🙌🏽
Lucy Danilo
I have been a member here since the moment the gym has open. The staff members here are always so welcoming. Always greeted us with a smile and always so polite. If you are looking for a gym with great environment, positive energy and great vibes. This is the right place for you.
Ms Ariki
As a beginner gym girl , who has been at fitness cartel for a couple of weeks now can definitely recommend this gym. Staff and trainers are very helpful and welcoming , classes are next level fun . I also was referred to a PT Adrian (AZFIT) this guy is full of knowledge, skills and highly motivating . Pushes you to your full potential and makes sure you reach your goals and never slack.

Adrian is my personal trainer and has high respect for me as a person. He has helped me with my training and training techniques. Awesome person to choose as a personal trainer.
Tunisha Anderson
MY PERSONAL TRAINER ADRIAN ZUNIGA The man, the myth, the legend himself💪🏻😂 I started out only going to group classes at previous gyms or online challenges, working out from home no knowledge of form or routine, no confidence in the gym or equipment anxious to the thought. I have been working with Adrian since a week after opening day at Fitness Cartel. His dedication towards his clients is unmatched it is obvious he takes pride in his job allowing me to be fully transparent with him. Every session his attention is solely focused and targeted toward you and your goals, his main priority is to get you there and reach them!! Aiming to make the most out of your time every session. Whether that means pushing you to your limits, limits you never knew you could reach he will work with you to unlock! even if it is watching you painfully finish those last reps and some cases adding a few more at the end while your on the verge of breaking down then you think it ends there until you hear a cheeky giggle from him in the background and a smart remark ‘are you good?’ Like no I’m dying don’t talk to me😂 or presenting a challenge such as burpees if you stop between reps suddenly you see yourself pushing harder and that is also something unique about Adrian he can adapt to anyones personality or character, he balances a relationship as a friend and professional personal trainer immaculately you know he means well and it’s all necessary in the end to reach those goals! Giving you that push you need and always your biggest supporter. I’m always learning something new about myself and walking away with something to gain I couldn’t have hoped for a better PT. I am very happy with the loads of progress made to date and certainly couldn’t have done it without Adrian’s expertise and guidance. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR IN A PT!!!! Seriously. I feel so much more confident using all these machines and my form has improved immensely. I know for a fact other clients of his can vouch for everything I have said and more. Looking forward to this journey with him, reaching those goals and setting new ones!! 1000/10 recommend Adrian!!!!!! Also, Thank you to Moses from sales team for referring me to him. 💐👏🏻😁 THE GYM ITSELF… This gym man they put some magic in this place FOREALLLL!! First off the staff, welcoming and literally happy to see people there and turning up always available for a random chat, for me the vibes a gym gives all starts with the staff so to have such an amazing and welcoming staff it creates an environment that stands on those values aswell. like no other gym I have ever been to before previous gyms I’ve joined I felt instant anxiety, intimidation, scared, shy you name it but since opening day at FC all of those worries flushed away and I felt immediately drawn to this place I found myself turning up every single day ALONE even, booking myself into classes and turning up this was a big step for me and I never hesitated doing so, I see myself here for a very long time😂. Environment is EVERYTHING has everything you could ask for in a gym and more everything is set out wonderfully the kids crèche is the most perfect addition to the facility with the most caring, warm comforting, beautiful people that take over while you do your thang they are very assuring and more then happy to rush you out the door😂 I always feel at ease leaving my kids with the staff! My kids would rather attend creche then go to school, always asking ‘mum we come gym today, we go Mel’ (referring to Melanie from reception😅) definitely the most ideal gym for people who spend most there time in the gym or even if you don’t you’ll find yourself thinking of it as a 2nd home because your literally magnetised towards the place. Personally I find myself in the gym far longer then I probably should because I be just chilling sometimes😅Stands out far more than any other gym. Off the bat can’t hype this place enough!!!!! Take the leap you won’t regret it! Super long review but super necessary😁😁
Nikhil Krishna
Nice gym to get into a healthy lifestyles all staff are super friendly, all equipments always cleaned up and looked after . Great vibe and atmosphere with design choice and music . Super clean and easy to use facilities . Loads of options from baby cartel to recover rooms and group classes. Awesome PT services . - Adrian Zuniga what a legend ! Went back to working out after almost 8 full years of nothing . Worked with me to get back into a routine slowly got me back to training everyday, stays in touch daily to check in and also explains recovery process and how to get the best of the 45-60 minute training sessions. One stop shop this man is ! Would 100% recommend his services to people ! And also recommend this gym .
Felipe Alejandro
Training at Manukau Fitness Cartel, brilliant new facilities and the staff at the club are great. I'm training with Adrian and he challenge me to improve every week, helping me reach my goals really easy! Group classes are great too, my favorite will be boot camp
Sam Archer
I am happy to say that in the last month and week, I’ve seen major progress💯Adrian Zuñiga(Personal Trainer)I couldn’t have done any better without the push you’ve given me. He has definitely pushed me to my limits, gotten me out of my comfort zone, and now I’m pushing weights I thought I never could😮💨

Calvin
Went on an early tour of the gym, looks good to me. The main praise is for the staff, was greeted with a big smile and even a handshake. Staff seemed genuinely happy people arrived, can't wait till it's open.
Bronson Clark
No experience- just thought the first review was rude and uncalled for. I’d like to join also, feel free to email me.
