Fitter Faster Stronger Gym

Welcome to Fitter Faster Stronger Gym Whangaparaoa.  We are a family-owned, full-service 24/7 health and fitness facility situated in the heart of the Hibiscus Coast. Our mission since acquiring the gym in June 2019 has been to create an environment that supports the wider community on the peninsula, from Gulf Harbour to Orewa, with its fitness and wellness goals. 

With decades of experience and a deep passion for fitness, we strive to offer great facilities, effective services, and a high-performing team of professional trainers—all at an affordable price. As athletes, coaches, personal trainers, and gym owners ourselves, we understand the importance of providing a supportive and safe space for our members to achieve success. 

At Fitter Faster Stronger Gym, we’ve made significant investments to enhance your experience. Our top-of-the-range cardio equipment and expanded resistance training options ensure minimal wait times, reduced wear, and optimized results for our clients. We may not be a big corporate chain, but we’re dedicated to sustainable growth, fostering the right team, and nurturing a culture where everyone feels they belong. 

“The Gym” has played an integral role in our lives for the past 30 years. Geordie has been privileged to successfully represent New Zealand in both powerlifting and bodybuilding many times.  

From the 15th July 2024, we are teaming up with APEX MUAY THAI who are moving into the club to bring their brand of ultimate group fitness and training to our local area.  APEX founder and Head Coach Marc Mienkemper brings over 3 decades of fight experience to deliver a power-pack workout with a Dutch swing on the ultimate striking sport of kickboxing.

You can call Marc on 021750174 email: apexmuaythai@nienkemper.com

Yours in health and fitness  

Geordie, Ayesha and Marc.

FFS is the last non-corporate-owned, non-chain gym on the coast – when you support us, “you are supporting local”.

I needed to exercise but was scared to come to a gym with all the fit youngsters. No worries - here you can do your own thing at your own pace. I have lost 15kg in 2 months by doing a no-stress walking exercise program. Thank you!
