RAW Ener-CHI

Fantastic experience: Rod and Jo run a great gym. Low key but on point for your fitness goals. They have a great selection of gear which allows their trainers keep things fresh by mixing up the routines. Lastly, the premise is clean and tidy which is important.

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy my time at Raw Ener-Chi. All of the trainers are professional and have created a tailored training program that has given me the best strength and fitness gains I’ve experienced to date.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for the past six months and love it. I’m not a Gym fan but needed to strengthen my core after a number of injuries and the team have been great. Nice and relaxed environment, you can go at your own pace and it’s great for general well-being. If your a professional who’s body is feeling the daily grind caused by the family mental load and the work life balance constantly on your mind, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Joe doesn’t just run you through exercises - he teaches you the “why” behind every movement. He frames biomechanics in a way that actually changes how your body fires - you don’t just copy a movement; you understand it. With him, muscles aren’t simply “working”; they’re working for a reason, in the right order, with the right intention. Small adjustments create huge changes. He explains why a cue matters, what pattern it supports, and you feel your alignment reset instantly. That level of precision only comes from someone with real kinesiology knowledge behind their coaching. You don’t leave the session exhausted, but the next day you feel soreness in exactly the right places - which has become Joe’s signature for me. If you’re just trying to lift heavier, you can go anywhere. But if you want someone who truly understands how the body functions and can coach from that depth, Joe is the answer.

Fantastic experience: After many years of twice-weekly sessions with Joe I have built a high level of trust in Raw Ener-CHI's approach to personal training. I can vouch for their deep knowledge base and professionalism and have benefited from their focused , careful and caring individualized sessions - especially appreciated during recovery from shoulder damage. From long observation, the personal trainers are punctual, attentive and responsive to feedback and are challenging but never impatient. I always look forward to the sessions and good humour.

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of filming with the team at Raw Ener-Chi — absolute professionals. Their knowledge and the way they connect with clients was genuinely impressive. Real passion behind what they do.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant training sessions - these have been (for me) revolutionary in terms of unrestricted daily movement and strength conditioning. Maeve, Joe, Jalen and Rod have an understanding of the body that is both scientific and holistic- great stuff, thanks.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable personnal trainers don’t over train so no sore muscles ! highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Joe and rod are the best trainers in new Zealand. I've trained with Joe for many years and seen amazing results. The Raw Enerchi team create personalized workouts that fit my needs perfectly and get the best out of me each time I enter the gym. I've gained noticeable strength, fitness and confidence because of that over the years and it's transformed who I am. However what I appreciate most is their motivating and supportive approach. Each session is full of craic which makes it even more fulfilling. If you're looking for a dedicated and effective personal coach, I highly recommend the raw enerchi team.

Fantastic experience: Incredible place to train, grow and develop both your mind and body. I trained with Joe for almost 2 years and never thought I could achieve half of the things I did. The Biological mechanic has a cure for most things. Fantastic community spirit and a welcoming atmosphere no matter who you are.

Fantastic experience: If you’re after personal training then this is the best gym in Auckland. A small number of experienced and professional trainers customise every workout to your individual needs. It is never crowded and it’s (almost) always fun. Most customers have been using the gym for awhile - which is a great testament to this team. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Joe for 5 years. I started because I was having difficulty with pain and managing physical aspects of my job after having my kids. I had done lots of different types of exercise in the past but found the assessment and understanding of what I need to work on to be unique and accurate. My posture strength and flexibility have improved and I’m almost never in pain now. Joe is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology and has so many types of exercises to fit any issue. So different then a paint by numbers gym program which may just exacerbate underlying issues. I’ve also had the pleasure of training with Maeve when Joe is away and she is amazing too.

Fantastic experience: As a complete gym-novice I’ve been so fortunate to start my strength and mobility journey at RAW Ener-CHI. A welcoming and calm environment together with an incredible level of expertise - can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks Jalen, Rod & Joe!

Fantastic experience: Rod is a great person and trainer too. He was quick to pick up on my areas of strength, weakness and misalignment. After first session I was given a bunch of exercises to follow through their app at my own gym, which I found easy to follow. Everything seems very effective so far. Follow up sessions have been great too. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Raw Ener-CHI – amazing little place bringing out your best potential! I am so grateful to Rod who continues to help me to get my body up and running and recover from a terrible accident. I love the professional and holistic approach and the positive encouraging environment that makes your training light and easy. I have known Rod for years. What an incredible fitness coach he is! I can only recommend him and Raw Ener-Chi highly.

Fantastic experience: I have had many gym memberships over the years and wasted lots of money - the only one I've regularly attended for months is RAW Ener-CHI! Its a fabulous space with a great community feel. Jalen trains my husband and I together and he's amazing! Keeps our trainings interesting and fun, personalizes programs to our own needs and my movement is so much easier then before I started! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Awesome holistic gym with trainers who really care. I worked with Rod and the workouts he had me do were from a structural perspective first. Not only did I feel stronger but I felt more in control of my body after only a few sessions. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great personal training program and love the energy at the gym!

Fantastic experience: Rod and team know their stuff. Great 1 on 1 professional training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Joe for many years and there’s been many highlights, though his holistic approaches to rehabbing my long-term knee injury and improving my postural issues have been more valuable than that of any surgeon or physio. Every session is enjoyable, carefully considered and tailored to your unique needs, and time is always taken to explain the background knowledge. Highly recommend Joe and the Raw Ener-chi gym - such an easy going and lighthearted environment they’ve created, and it is clear they genuinely care about you. Couldn’t be more grateful, thanks Joe and team!

Fantastic experience: These guys are epic. Fantastic knowledge and support.

Fantastic experience: If your after the best small gym in Auckland look no further. These guys here know their stuff. The vibe is extremely friendly and the trainor I use (Joe) is the most knowledgeable and friendly I have ever come across. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Been working with the team for the fourth year in a row now, awesome people, pure environment and just a dream gym to go too. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great energy in this gym I love it

Fantastic experience: The best of the best!

Fantastic experience: These guys are wellbeing experts and well worth a visit if you're wanting to improve your health in anyway

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym, the personal trainers are amazing, the environment is very familiar. Alex is very good, he designed a personalized program according to my needs and he dedicates completely for one hour to teach me step by step how to do it. I feel very comfortable there and I am seeing results very quick. Thanks Alex for such a great work.
